• Align the four tabs on the hub caps with the four
holes in the wheel. Press in each tab until it locks in
place. The hub cap edges must be flush with the
wheel rim when installed properly.
• Push the hub cap onto the wheel so that the edges
of the hub cap flush with the rim of the wheel.
ATTACHING THE NOZZLE (See figure 3)
• Remove the three wing nuts from the front of the
chipper-vacuum. Place the nozzle in position over
the three weld studs. Secure with the wing nuts just
removed.
NOTE: The metal tab in the nozzle must depress the
safety switch on the front of the chipper-vacuum or
the engine will not start.
• Set unit in upright position.
• Remove the two hex bolts, flat washers, and nuts
which are attached to the support bracket. See
figure 4.
• Use this hardware to attach the support bracket to
the bottom of the chipper chute loosely. Be sure to
fix the hardware so that the heads of the hex bolts
and washers are inside the chipper chute.
• Place the support bracket over the two bolts in the
handle. Push up the chipper chute in order to better
align the holes in the support bracket with the bolts
in the handle. Put the nuts back on.
• Tighten all hardware securely first on the chipper
chute, then on the support bracket, and finally on
the handle.

• Remove the two hex lock nuts from the hex bolts
which secure the right side of the upper handle to
the lower handle. Leave the bolts in place. See

ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLE (See figure 5)
The clutch cable has been assembled at the factory.
You will have to attach the clutch cable to the drive
clutch handle.
• Loosen the hex nuts at the cable bracket and
remove.
• Holding the drive clutch handle up, hook the “Z”
end of the cable into the drive clutch handle from
the outside to the inside. See figure 5A. You will
need a pair of pliers for this.
• Next keeping the clutch handle up, tighten the back
hex nut approximately halfway with no slack in the
cable when it is attached and the “Z” end is in
place.
