22 DR  COMMERICAL LEAF and LAWN VACUUM Safety & Operating Instructions
3. To assure that the hose has the
proper length, turn the tractor
all the way to the left, while
watching the hose. The hose
should not become too taut so
as to move or damage your
lawn deck adapter. If the trailer
tongue is able to contact the
Hitch Plate, without stressing
the hose or lawn deck adapter,
the hose is of sufficient length
(Figure 23).
4. Attach the hose support
lanyard loosely, with the
supplied white plastic cable tie,
in the center of the vacuum
hose.
5. To assure that the hose will not
drag on the ground, turn the
tractor to the right while
watching the hose. If the
supplied hose support lanyard
is not sufficient to prevent the
hose from kinking or dragging
on the ground, reduce the
length of the hose by removing
the hose clamp with a screw
driver at the inlet of the blower
and cutting the hose to length
required using wire cutters to
cut the spiral and then cut the
hose with the razor knife. If
the trailer tongue is able to
contact the hitch plate, without
allowing the hose to kink or
drag on the ground, the hose
has sufficient support (Figure 23).
Note: If a tighter turning radius is required, and there is enough hose length to
accommodate this, the supplied Hitch Extender may be used (Figure 24). The Hitch
Extender is most useful when using your DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM as a
trailer to obtain maximum maneuverability when not concerned about hose length.
