Operating Safety
The DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM has a blower motor capable of 1650 CFM suction capacity and a chipper feature that will chip wood up to 2 inches in diameter.
Note: Always be sure to stand inside the Operator Zones to run the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM as a chipper or held hand vacuum. These are the areas on either side of your machine (Figure 27).
WARNINGS!
Never put your hands inside the vacuum hose or the Chipper Hopper to clear debris while the engine is running. ALWAYS stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before clearing the vacuum hose or Chipper Hopper.
For best results, use a small stick to clear the Chipper Hopper if it becomes clogged.
The maximum size material that can be fed into the Chipper Hopper is 2 inches in diameter.
Keep your face and body back from the Chipper Hopper opening to prevent being struck by any material that may bounce back.
Do not refuel the engine while it is hot or running.
