CONTROLS
A. Choke
The choke controls the fuel to air ratio, and helps make cold starts easier by providing a rich,
B. Throttle
The throttle controls engine speed, and allows you to conserve fuel by powering down during idle periods, or to achieve optimal chipping/shredding/vacuuming power by running the engine at full speed.
C. Vacuum Nozzle Variable Suction ControW
The vacuum nozzle Variable Suction Controlru is direct- ly above and behind the vacuum nozzle, and has four
•closed (for vacuuming with the optional hose attachment)
•113 open,
* 213 open
•full open.
Smaller nozzle openings provide the necessary vacuum force for smaller debris, while a larger opening provides the suction necessary for larger debris like large leaves.
D. Vacuum Nozzle Height Control
The vacuum nozzle height control lever is located at the rear frame in front of the discharge bag. Three height settings are available: Low, Medium, and High.
The low setting is suitable for smooth, hard surfaces, while the medium and high settings are used for differ- ent terrain conditions. Settings are easily changed by simply positioning the control lever into one of three dif- ferent slots.
The height adjustment control may be

F. Power Drive Bail Lever
The power drive bail lever operates the clutch, the mechanism that transfers power from the drive shaft to the transmission.
Pulling the bail lever down against the Chipper Vacuum handle engages the transmission, which drives the unit forward for vacuum/shredding or moving the unit around your yard and garden.
Releasing the lever disengages the transmission, stop- ping the power drive motion, and allowing the unit to come to a stop to make adjustments, empty the bag, or perform chipping or hose vacuuming operations.
