Using The Nozzle Vacuum

Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be vacuumed up through the nozzle for shredding. After material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged into catcher bag or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Materials such as stalks or heavy branches up to 1-1/2” in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.

1.Place nozzle/hose vac lever in the top position on the nozzle to vacuum through nozzle. See Figure 4-5.

2.The spring loaded pin must be in the first hole (closest to the end of the tube) of the hose adapter to operate the nozzle vac.

3.Place both hands on top of the upper handle and fully lift the drive control against the upper handle to propel the unit over yard.

4.Use the speed control to choose either the high or low speed. The speed control may be moved either while the unit is propelling or before engaging the wheels.

IMPORTANT: Move the speed control only when the engine is running. Changing the speed control setting with the engine off can damage the chipper/shredder vacuum.
