SECTION 5: ADJUSTING YOUR CHIPPER SHREDDER VACUUM
Front Caster Wheels
This chipper shredder vacuum is equipped with front
caster wheels. The casters can be locked in a straight
ahead position or to swivel freely.
• Lift and place pins in the larger holes for locked or
straight ahead operation. See Figure 8.
a. Place pins in smaller holes to allow casters to
rotate freely.
b. Lock wheels in straight position when
operating on slopes.
Figure 8
Nozzle Door Height
The nozzle adjustment levers are located on each side
of the nozzle door. The nozzle door can be adjusted to
one of five positions, ranging from 1/2” to 3” ground
clearance, to provide best performance.
Figure 9
• Slide the height adjustment lever forward or
backward for adjusting the nozzle door upwards or
downwards. Height must be adjusted equally. In
general, raise the nozzle to vacuum a thick layer of
leaves and lower the nozzle for smooth surfaces.
See Figure 9.
Drive Clutch Cable
Adjust the drive clutch control if:
a. the chipper shredder vacuum moves forward
with the drive clutch control disengaged,
b. it does not self-propel with the drive clutch
control engaged, or
c. drive belt is slipping (unit hesitates while
engine maintains the same speed).
• Use the adjustment wheel located in the clutch
control housing to tighten or loosen the clutch
cable.
• In addition, the adjustment wheel may also be used
to determine the position in which the drive clutch
control is engaged. If it is more comfortable to have
the drive engaged with the lever further away from
the handle, tighten the clutch cable. See Figure 10.

WARNING: Do not at any time make any
