4-5.6 Shift Lever. The shift lever may be moved into
one of eight positions. Run engine with throttle
in the fast position. Use the shift lever to deter-
mine ground speed. See Figure 4-29.
Forward —one of six speeds. Position number
one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6)
is the fastest.
Reverse —two reverse (R) speeds. “R” (all the
way to the right) is the faster of the two.
4-5.7 Drive Clutch Handle. Squeezing the drive
clutch handle against the upper handle
engages the wheel drive. Release the drive
clutch handle to stop the forward drive. See
Figure 4-29.
4-5.8 Height Adjustment.
1. The height adjustment knob is located on the
right hand side of the chipper-vacuum. Turn
the knob clockwise to raise the nozzle. Turn
the knob counterclockwise to lower. (Be careful
not to turn knob too far—rod could come out of
ferrule.) See Figure 4-30.
2. The best height for the nozzle will vary accord-
ing to the conditions. Adjust the height of the
nozzle to find the setting which gives the best
performance for the operating conditions. In
general, raise the nozzle to vacuum a thick
layer of leaves; lower the nozzle for smooth
surfaces.
4-5.9 Shift Rod Adjustment. If the shift rod needs
adjustment to obtain forward or reverse cor-
rectly, proceed as follows. See Figure 4-31.
1. Remove the bag from the unit.
2. Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from
the upper end of the shift rod. Pull the ferrule
out of the hole in the shift lever. (Make certain
wave washer remains in place on the ferrule.)
3. Place the shift lever in 6th position (all the way
to the left).
4. Push down on the shift rod. Thread the ferrule
up or down the shift rod until the ferrule lines
up with the upper hole in the shift lever.
5. Secure ferrule to shift lever with flat washer
and hairpin clip.
