IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes

blade sharp.
Using The Hose Assembly
1. Place nozzle/hose vac lever in the bottom position on
the nozzle to redirect vacuum to the hose assembly.
See Figure 4-6.
2. The spring loaded pin must be in the second hole of
the hose adapter to operate the hose assembly. See
Figure 4-6.
3. Unhook the hose from upper and lower hose handle
brackets and grasp the hose handle to guide the hose
while vacuuming yard waste such as leaves or pine
needles in hard to reach places.
Nozzle Height Adjustment
The nozzle can be adjusted to any six positions, rang-
ing from 5/8” to 4 1/8” ground clearance. The nozzle
height has to be adjusted according to chipper shredder
conditions.
1. Depress nozzle height adjustment lever towards
wheel. See Figure 4-7.
2. Move the height adjustment lever forward or backward
to adjust the nozzle upwards or downwards. Make
sure both levers are in the same position.
3. Release lever towards deck.
NOTE: In general, raise the nozzle height to vacuum
a thick layer of leaves. Lower the nozzle height for
smoother surfaces.
