Chapter 2: Installing and Using the Optional Hand Vac Hose Accessory (Kit No. 35154)

In addition to using the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM with your lawn tractor, this system also allows you to vacuum flower beds,
around trees and other places that you cannot mow with your lawn tractor.

Assembling the Vac Hose Assembly

Note: The Hand Vacuum Hose is shipped partially assembled. The following instructions detail the steps required to assemble the

Handle Bar to the Nozzle and the Support Tie for the Hose (Figure 1).

Parts Supplied:



Two 5/16" Lock Nuts



Zip Tie



Handle Bar Assembly



Hose with Nozzle

Tools Needed:



Scissors or Diagonal Cutter



1/2" Wrench

1. Locate the two Bolts protruding from the Nozzle, align the two holes at the end of the Handle Bar, and add a Lock Nut on each

Bolt (Figure 1). Tighten the Lock Nuts using a 1/2" wrench.

2. Thread the Zip Tie through the Eyebolt and wrap it around the Hose. Pass the end through the Zip Tie Ratchet Block on the

end of the Zip Tie.

3. Pull the excess Zip Tie through the Zip Tie Ratchet Block. Leave the Tie loop slightly larger than the diameter of the Hose. Do

not over-tighten.

4. Cut off excess Zip Tie length.

Before performing this procedure, shut off the leaf and lawn vacuum engine, wait five minutes for all parts to stop and cool, and
disconnect the spark plug wire of the leaf and lawn vacuum.
