OPERATION
TO REMOVE BLOWER CHUTE
1. Grasp blower chute with one hand and pull lock rod on mounting
bracket with other hand toward engine to release. Refer to Figure 7.
2. Remove blower chute from over the rim of the discharge opening.
USING THE NOZZLE VACUUM
1. Place nozzle/hose vac lever in the top position on the nozzle to
vacuum through nozzle. See Figure 13.
2. The spring loaded pin must be in the first hole (closest to the end of
the tube) of the hose adapter to operate the nozzle vac.
3. Place both hands on top of the upper handle and fully lift the drive
control against the upper handle to propel the unit over yard.
4. Use the speed control to choose either the high or low speed. The
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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to shred, chip, or vacuum
any material larger than specified on the machine
or in this manual. Personal injury or damage to the
machine could result.
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 & Adjustments section on page 17. For
best performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine and
disconnecting spark plug wire.
USING THE HOSE ASSEMBLY
1. Place nozzle/hose vac handle in the bottom position on the nozzle
to redirect vacuum to the hose assembly. See Figure 14.
2. The spring loaded pin must be in the second hole of the hose
adapter to operate the hose assembly.
3. Unhook the hose from upper handle bracket and grasp the hose
handle to guide while vacuuming yard waste such as leaves or pine
needles in hard to reach places.
