Operation
slides smoothly into place in one of four slots (Figure 9).
To adjust the opening of the vacuum intake nozzle flap:
1. Grip the curved portion of the lever arm,
2. Pull the lever out of the present slot,
l On extremely damp ground cover, leaves sometimes
get vacuumed into the unit in lame clumos. Go slow
to
avoid clogging the vacuum intake housing, and let
the shredder fully process material before vacuuming
additional debris.
3. Slide the lever into the desired slot.
Vacuum Intake Nozzle Height Position
The vacuum intake nozzle height adjustment is located
at the rear of the frame on the left side of the unit
(Figure 10). This adjustment controls the height of the
vacuum intake nozzle above the ground.
l Frozen ground cover will require raking before
vacu-
uming can be performed. Break up frozen clumps of
leaves or other debris before attempting to vacuum
the material.
l Extremely wet ground surfaces may impede wheel
traction and make maintaining secure operator foot-
ing difficult. Allow surfaces to dry out before
vacu-
uming if it is hard to maintain positive control of the
unity
SEASONAL HINTS
_.....
l Keep the lawn cut short during leaf clean-up season.
Although your Chipper Vacuum is designed to handle
tough clean-up jobs, you will save time and effort
when the ground cover gets moist or matted if your
lawn is mowed short.
l Vacuum frequently if your lawn is subject to a heavy
deposit of leaves. Attempting to vacuum extremely
thick deposits of leaves may require frequent stop-
ping and starting to allow the unit to fully process the
material in the shredding chamber.
l Operation on wet surfaces may result in a rapid
build-up of debris on wheels and on the underside of
the unit. Be sure to remove any build-up before
putting the Chipper Vacuum away. Moist debris will
be easier to remove than material that has been
allowed to cake on the unit and dry.
* A light coating of WD-40 on drive chains will help
prevent corrosion between uses if the unit has been
subjected to extremely wet operating conditions.
