BEFORE STARTING
Your Vac System engine is shipped without oil or gasoline.
Service the engine with oil and gas as instructed in the
separate engine manual.
Inspect the Vac System to make sure all covers (rear
door, vinyl boot, elbow, hose adapter, hose and deck
adapter are properly attached.
Check tires for proper ination (printed on tire).
HOW TO STOP YOUR VAC SYSTEM
To stop engine, move the throttle control lever to the
OFF position.
Disconnect spark plug wire from plug to prevent
accidental starting while equipment is unattended or
is being worked on.
WARNING: Never ll fuel tank indoors, with
the engine running, or while the engine is
hot. Do not smoke while lling tank.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel next season. See
STORAGE Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank
