Idle Speed
Use the “idle” position on the throttle lever to reduce
stress on the engine when chipping or
vacuumfshred-
ding is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed
to “idle” will help extend engine life, as well as conserve
fuel and reduce the noise level of the equipment.
WALK BEHIND VACUUM/SHREDDING
Normal operator position for power-drive, walk-behind
vacuum/shredding is directly behind the unit holding the
units handle securely with two hands. This position pro-

The powered wheel drive is engaged by pulling the

the bail stops the forward movement and disengages
the transmission, making it easier to turn or maneuver
the unit.
