mounted to the frame with (2) 1/4” carriage bolts. To adjust the
height of the nozzle slide the bracket in the slot to the desired
position.
To adjust:
Loosen the 1/4” nuts of the Bear Vac height adjust bracket.
Make sure the bracket can slide on the frame.
Adjust the height of the Bear Vac nozzle to the desired posi-
tion using the slotted holes. The recommended distance is

be lowered further.

DEBRiS Bag TiPS
The Bear Vac bag requires a break-in period to condition the
bag against premature blockage. During this time the debris bag
must be emptied frequently. The goal is to prevent dust from
becoming embedded in the bag. Embedded dust will cause
vacuum performance to suffer. To remove the dust remove the
bag from the machine, empty debris, and vigorously shake the
bag. If needed, the bag can be machine or pressure washed.
Thoroughly air dry the bag before use.
also:
- Do not leave debris in bag while in storage.
- Be sure to come to a complete stop before removing bag.
- Do not place the bag near hot surfaces, such as the engine.
