grasp the hose handle to guide while vacuuming yard
waste such as leaves or pine needles in hard to reach
places.
Nozzle Height Adjustment
The nozzle can be adjusted to any six positions, rang-
ing from 5/8” to 4 1/8” ground clearance. The nozzle
height has to be adjusted according to chipper shredder
conditions.

2. Move the height adjustment lever forward or backward
to adjust the nozzle upwards or downwards. Make

a thick layer of leaves. Lower the nozzle height for
smoother surfaces.
