SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper use of the ODB leaf collector CAN result in severe per-sonal injury or death. All personnel using this leaf vacuum must betrained and qualified with all the operations, maintenance, repairand safety procedures defined in this manual.
1.3 TRAINING:
The warnings and procedures regarding safety in this manual are to beused as a guideline only. It is impossible to cover all the events that couldhappen in the vacuuming process. For this reason, it is vital that theowner accept the responsibility to implement a training program that willprovide every operator or mechanic the basic skills and knowledge tomake good judgement in all situations.
This training program must include the entire scope of hazards, precau-tions and government regulations encountered in the vacuuming process.The program should stress the need for regularly scheduled preventivemaintenance and detailed equipment safety checks.
ODB strongly recommends all training programs be documented to ensureall operators and mechanics receive initial training on not just the opera-tion but the safety features of the leaf collector.

An inspection of the leaves to be vacuumed must be done prior tothe vacuuming process. We realize that it is impossible to com-pletely inspect every inch of leaves being vacuumed, but it isimperative that all leaves be inspected for obvious dangerousmaterial before vacuuming.
The operator should never be in the line of traffic, the operatorshould work on the shoulder whenever possible.
The operators should place cones or other barriers to provideadequate warnings to vehicles and pedestrians that vacuumingis in progress.
Confirm that all operators are wearing proper clothes and per-sonal protective equipment.
Restrict all personnel, except the operator from the area near theleaf vacuum. DO NOT allow pedestrians, children or animalsnear the work area.
Make sure that the exhaust hose fits properly into the box con-tainer so that all debris is blown into the box container.
The following guidelines must be followed to insure safety.
Never place any part of the body under or behind guards or anyother visually obscured area.
Making sure the leaves are clear of possible dangerous material iscritical to safe vacuuming. Vacuuming up metal, glass, rocks orother dangerous material CAN cause serious damage to the equip-ment or personal injury.

Perform all the pre-starting, pre-operating checksoutlined in the EOM and in this manual, includingchecking the engine oil and coolant level.
Check that the intake hose is connected properlyand that people and objects are clear of the hosebefore starting the engine.
Pull the choke out and hold it out when the en-gine is cold, but in hot weather or when theengine is warm, use half choke or fully open thechoke by pushing the choke lever all the way in.
Tachometer
3.1 Starting Engine, continued;
Pull the throttle control (fig. 3a) to half throttleposition to start.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the starter formore than 5 seconds at a time. To do so mayoverheat the starter. If the engine does notstart the first time, wait at least 15 secondsbefore trying again. If the engine fails to startafter 4 attempts, see the trouble shootingsection of the EOM and this manual.
Turn the ignition key all the way to the right, whenthe engine starts release the key. It shouldspring back to the first position.
IMPORTANT: If the ignition switch is releasedbefore the engine starts, wait until the starterand the engine stop turning before tryingagain. This will prevent possible damage tothe starter and/or flywheel.
Check all the indicator lights for illumination. Ifany of the lights are illuminated, except the oillight, stop the engine and determine the cause.The oil light will stay on for a few seconds untilthe engine builds up oil pressure.
IMPORTANT: To assure proper lubrication,operate the engine at idle with no load for 1 -2minutes. Extend this period 2 - 4 minuteswhen operating at temperatures below freez-ing.
After starting the engine, gradually push thechoke cable all the way in.
Allow the engine to warm up by running theengine 3 - 5 minutes with the throttle at idlebefore collecting leaves.

3.2 Vacuuming Leaves
Thoroughly read and understand the safety, pre-operating and oper-ating sections of this manual before vacuuming. Wear the propersafety equipment as outlined in this manual.
Start the engine using the procedures stated earlier in this manual.
Set the engine throttle to around 2000 rpm.
NOTE: Always vacuum leaves using the lowest rpm as possible.This saves fuel and decreases the amount of dust escaping the boxcontainer.
Lower the intake hose to a few inches above the leaf pile. Hold theintake nozzle at a 45 degree angle to allow proper air flow. Thisshould allow the leaves to be vacuumed. DO NOT bury the intakenozzle into the leaf pile, this will cut off the air flow and will makevacuuming much more difficult and increase the chance of clogging.
If the leaves are not vacuuming, increase the rpm to 2200 and tryvacuuming at this setting.
NOTE: Wet leaves will need higher rpm’s to vacuum whereas dryleaves will only need minimal rpm’s.
Continue moving the nozzle in a sweeping motion above the leaveswhile vacuuming.
Vacuuming Leaves:

NOTE:Always lubricate bearings at the end of each work day.This will displace any moisture in the bearings. Also lubri-cate thorougly before extended shutdown or storage.
Remove the lead spark plug wires before attempt-ing any lubrication procedures.
Thoroughly read and understand the safety andpre-operating sections of this manual before per-forming any lubrication procedures.
Lubrication Points:
1. Drive Bearings (figure 4.3a): These bearingsare critical components of the belt-driven units.These bearings should be greased every 10 hourswith approximately two strokes from the averagehand pump grease gun. The type of grease usedin these bearings are also critical to the perfor-mance of the bearings. A multi-purpose, heavy-load, high-temperature, moisture resistant #2grease is required for the drive bearings. ODBrecommends LubeMaster Premalube 4234 grease.Other premium quality grease that matches theabove requirements may be used but after years oftesting ODB recommends the Premalube grease.

Figure 4.3A
DO NOT mix different types ofgrease. The old grease MUST BEpurged before a different type ofgrease is used. Mixing grease WILLcause premature failure to the bear-ings.

Lubrication Points, continued;
Trailer Wheel Bearings (figure 4.3b): Most ofODB's units are equipped with "EZ-Lube" greasefittings. This allows the operator to grease thebearings without removing the hubs. The "EZ-Lube" feature consists of axle spindles that havebeen specially drilled and fitted with a grease zerkin their ends (fig. 4.3c). When grease is pumpedinto the zerk, it is channelled to the inner bearingand then flows back to the outer bearing andeventually back out the grease cap hole. Thetrailer wheel bearings should be checked andgreased after the first 30 days of service then atthe beginning of every season.

Boom Socket (figure 4.3d): The socket shouldbe greasedonce a week to keep the boom mastmoving smoothly. Grease the boom socket onceevery week with a multi-purpose moisture resistant#2 grease.
Hinge and Friction Points: Leaf vacuum opera-tion and longevity can be improved by keepinghinges and friction points lubricated. ODB recom-mends that lubricaton be performed weekly. UseSAE30 weight oil on hinges and a premium grade,high temperature lithium based EP#2 grease onfriction points.
Boom Extension (figure 4.3e):Grease the extension tube once every week with amulti-purpose lubricant.

4.4 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The following are general preventative maintenance procedures for our stan-dard units. Any special or custom built units may have other preventativemaintenance procedures not directly mentioned in this manual. Please con-sult ODB before doing any preventative maintenance procedures not specifi-cally mentioned in this manual.
Proper preventative maintenance of your unit, just like lubrication, correlatesdirectly to how long your unit will last. A properly maintained unit will lastmuch longer than a unit that is not maintained properly.
Remove the lead spark plug wires before attempting any mainte-nance procedures.
Thoroughly read and understand the safety and pre-operating sec-tions of this manual before performing any maintenance procedures.
Preventative Maintenance:
1.
2.
Engine Oil: Change the oil and oil filter according to schedules pro-vided in your engine's owner's manual (EOM). The engine oil levelshould be checked every day. The level should be checked after theengine has been stopped for a period of time. This will allow the oil todrain back into the oil pan, allowing a better indication of the true oillevel. If the level is low, see the engines owner's manual for the correcttype of oil.
Engine Coolant: Check the coolant level before starting the unit eachday. The coolant level should not be less than one inch below the topof the radiator.
NEVER check the engine coolant when the engine is hot. Allow theengine to cool at least one hour before checking the coolant. Checkthe engine owner's manual for instructions. ALWAYS wear eye andhand protection when working with the radiator.

4.4 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, continued;
Preventative Maintenance, continued;
Engine Radiator: The engine radiator on a leaf vacuum becomesclogged with dust and debris frequently because of the nature of thejob. If the radiator is not cleaned properly it WILL cause impropercooling and WILL eventually cause serious damage to your engine.The debris accumulating on the radiator can be lessened by loweringthe RPM on the engine to a level just enough to vacuum the leaves.The higher the RPM the more dust that is put into the air. Also, it maybe necessary to put mesh or tarps on the top of the leaf box containerto reduce the debris and dust. If this is done, make sure there isenough air ventilation on the box so the box is not blown apart.Proper belt condition and coolant mix-ratio, as well as coolant condi-tioners, are all critical to proper engine cooling. See the enginesowner's manual for specifics on coolant mixture ratios and conditioners.The radiator should be inspected and cleaned with compressed air every-day at the very least.
Engine Air Cleaner: Due to the large amounts of dust generated incollection leaves, it is critical to your engine's life that the pre-cleanerand air filter be maintained properly. The pre-cleaner (if equipped) shouldbe cleaned at least daily of any debris that has accumulated. If conditionswarrant it should be cleaned more. The air filter should be checked dailyand should be replaced at the first sign of it being dirty. See the engine'sowner's manual for detailes. It is a good idea to clean out the air filterhousing once a week to clean any dust debris that may have accumulated.
Tires and Wheels: Tires and wheel lug nuts should be checked on adaily basis. Tires should be checked for excessive wear and proper airpressure. Check the side wall of the tire for proper inflation pressure.Torque all 1/2" diameter lug nuts from 90 to 120 foot pounds. Torqueall 5/8" diameter lug nuts from 175 to 225 foot pounds. Consult theaxle manufacturers owner's manual for more detailed information.
NEVER attempt to clean or inspect the radiator with the enginerunning or while the engine is HOT. Allow the engine to cool at leastone hour before mantaining the radiator. Check the engine owner'smanual for instructions. ALWAYS wear eye and hand protectionwhen working with the radiator.

Preventative Maintenance, continued;
Trailer Brakes (if equipped): Most of the newer ODB leaf vacuumshave electric brakes on the axle(s). It is critical that these brakes workproperly. The trailer's brakes should be checked daily, before leavingthe equipment yard, for proper operation. The trailer brakes are de-signed to work in synchronization with your tow vehicles brakes. Neveruse your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load.The synchronization between the tow vehicle and the leaf vacuum isaccomplished through the brake controller and needs to be set cor-rectly. Please read the brake controllers manual and the axle owner'smanual for these procedures.
The brakes should be adjusted after the first 200 miles of operationwhen the brake shoes and drums have "seated" and at 3,000 mile inter-vals, or as use and performance requires. The adjustment procedures arebeyond the scope of this manual, please see the axle owners/servicemanual for specific instructions.
The trailer brakes should be inspected and serviced at yearly intervalsor more often as use and performance requires. Magnets and shoesmust be changed when they become worn or scored thereby prevent-ing adequate vehicle braking. Again, see the axle owner's/service manualfor specific procedures.
FUEL TANK: Fill the fuel tank at the beginning of the work shift leav-ing a gap of at the top of the tank for expansion of fuel. A full fuel tankwill reduce the possibility of condensation forming in the tank andmoisture entering the fuel lines. Check the fuel lines daily for cracks,holes or tightness.
6.
7.
DO NOT tow the leaf vacuum with damaged or non-operating brakes.Check the brakes daily for proper operation.

Preventative Maintenance, continued;
BATTERY: ODB's units are supplied with "maintenance free" batteriesso there is no need to check fluid levels but the battery terminals should bechecked daily for corrosion. Remove any corrosion with a wire brush andcoat the terminals with light grease or petroleum jelly to reduce the possi-bility of corrosion. Also check the battery cable for wear all cable connec-tions and battery tie downs to be certain that they are not loose.
DRIVE BELT (if equipped): The main drive belt should be checkeddaily for cracks and for proper tension. If the belt shows any sign of
cracking it should be replaced immediately. The proper tension of thebelt should be approximately 1/2" deflection when applying a 8 poundpull.
FASTENERS: Fasteners should be checked weekly for the first 30days and monthly thereafter. They must be in place at all times andproperly torqued. For general torque values see the torque chart at theend of this section.
