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.
