15-ft. Vac Kit Assembly (Optional)

The optional vacuum kit, 15 feet long and 4” in diameter, is used to vacuum and grind leaves, pine straw and other loose organic waste. The kit is sold separately; instructions are provided here and with the kit for your convenience.

FIRST

Insert two 1.25”-20 carriage bolts from inside the nozzle and through the holes in the handle. Fasten with the two 1/4”-20 serrated flange nuts provided using a 7/16” wrench.

SECOND

Push one end of the hose firmly into the nozzle. The nozzle has what is called a “regressive” fit. Turn the nozzle a few times to adjust the angle of the nozzle.

THIRD*

Thread the other end of the hose into the adap- tor about three inches. You may need to tug it through from the other side.

FOURTH*

When you want to use the vac, snap the adaptor into the hopper before you turn on the engine. The adaptor only fits with the DANGER decal on your right as you stand behind the machine.

FIFTH & LAST*

Snap the cone cover over the chipper cone. This seals off all air flow for maximum vacuuming power.

*Patented design featured in this step.
