WARNING: Do not at any time make any adjustments without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire.

Nozzle Height Adjustment

The nozzle can be adjusted to any five positions, ranging from 5/8” to 4 1/8” ground clearance. The nozzle height has to be adjusted according to the conditions. Move the height adjustment levers forward or backward to adjust the nozzle upwards or downwards. See Figure 8.

NOTE: In general, raise the nozzle height to vacuum a thick layer of leaves or to operate with the blower chute and lower the nozzle height for smoother surfaces.
