IMPORTANT:
The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen
becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in
SECTION 5: MAINTAINING YOUR YARD VACUUM.
For best performance, it is also important to keep the
chipper blade sharp.
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine
and disconnecting spark plug wire.
Using the Hose Assembly
• Place nozzle/hose vac handle in the bottom
position on the nozzle to redirect vacuum to the
hose assembly. See Figure 11.
• The spring loaded pin must be in the second hole of
the hose adapter to operate the hose assembly.
• Unhook the hose from upper handle bracket and
grasp the hose handle to guide while vacuuming
yard waste such as leaves or pine needles in hard
to reach places.

Nozzle Height Adjustment
The nozzle can be adjusted to any six 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 12.
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.
