USING THE VACUUM
The vacuum kit lets you take full advantage of the
vacuum created by the four fan blades on the rotor fly-
wheel. Placing the lid on the hopper directs the suc-
tion power to the hose inlet at the bottom of the hous-
ing.
Use the vacuum kit to conveniently rake dry leaves
and grass clippings into the leaf tray, where the mater-
ial is sucked through the vacuum hose, shredded in
the shredding chamber and expelled out the dis-
charge chute. The hopper lid must be in place for the
vacuum to work properly. The clear vacuum hose
allows you to monitor the flow of material. The
kit works best on dry leaves,
The nozzle and handle can be attached to the end of
the hose for, hard to reach places. The strength of the
vacuum can be adjusted by turning the sleeve on the
nozzle end. Open the sleeve fully for minimum suction
power to vacuum leaves over a garden area.
VACUUMING TIPS
Keep the hose straight for best performance.
Rake leaves into the tray at a steady rate so that the
engine or motor runs at an even level. For best
results, do not cram the tray full of leaves.
Avoid items, such as twigs, that can get caught in
the hose.
If material is wet, allow to dry before vacuuming.
REMOVING THE VACUUM KIT
When not using the vacuum kit, turn off the engine,
let the motor come to a complete, stop and discon-
nect the spark plug wire.
2. Rotate the coupler/hose assembly until the seams
line up on top, pull until it clicks then unscrew and
remove.
3. Insert the plastic plug (3) into the adapter and twist
until it seats completely
