• 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.
• Place both hands on top of upper handle to push
unit over yard waste.
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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to shred, chip,
or vacuum any material larger than
specified on the machine or in this
manual. Personal injury or damage to the
machine could result.
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
"Service and ADJUSTMENTS" on page 15. 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 12.
• The spring loaded pin must be in the second hole of
the hose adapter to operate the hose assembly.
• Unhook the hose from upper and lower hose
handle brackets and grasp the hose handle to
guide the hose while vacuuming yard waste such
as leaves or pine needles in hard to reach places.

NozzleHeightAdjustment
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 yard
conditions. Move the height adjustment levers forward
or backward to adjust the nozzle upwards or
downwards. See Figure 13.
NOTE:
In general, raise the nozzle height to vacuum
a thick layer of leaves or to operate with the blower
chute. Lower the nozzle height for smoother surfaces.
