USING THE NOZZLE VACUUM
Place nozzle/hose vac lever in the top position on the nozzle to 1.
vacuum through nozzle. See Figure 14.
The spring loaded pin must be in the first hole (closest to the end 2.
of the tube) of the hose adapter to operate the nozzle vac.
Place both hands on top of the upper handle and fully lift the drive 3.
control against the upper handle to propel the unit over yard.
Use the speed control to choose either the high or low speed. The 4.
speed control may be moved either while the unit is propelling or
before engaging the wheels.
IMPORTANT: Move the speed control only when the engine is
running. Changing the speed control setting with the engine off can
damage the yard vacuum.
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be vacuumed up
through the nozzle for shredding. After material has been shredded
by the flail blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged
into catcher bag or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or
chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e.
branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato
vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Materials such as stalks or
heavy branches up to 1-1/2” in diameter may be fed into the chipper
chute.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing in the
discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean
as instructed in the SERVICE & MAINTENANCE section. For best
performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
