IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen
becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in
SECTION 5: MAINTAINING YOUR CHIPPER
SHREDDER VACUUM. For best performance, it is also
important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine
and disconnecting spark plug wire.
Nozzle Height Adjustment
The nozzle can be adjusted to any five positions,
ranging from 5/8” to 4 1/8” ground clearance. The
nozzle height has to be adjusted according to the
conditions. Move the height adjustment levers forward
or backward to adjust the nozzle upwards or
downwards. See Figure 8.
NOTE: In general, raise the nozzle height to vacuum a
thick layer of leaves or to operate with the blower chute
and lower the nozzle height for smoother surfaces.
