TO REMOVE BLOWER CHUTE
(If Equipped)
1. Grasp blower chute with one hand and pull lock rod
on mounting bracket with other hand toward engine
to release. Refer to Figure 4-6.
2. Remove blower chute from over the rim of the
discharge opening.
Place both hands on top of upper handle to push unit over
yard waste. Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles
can be vacuumed up through the nozzle for shredding.
After material has been shredded by the flail blades on
the impeller assembly, it will be discharged into catcher
bag or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or
chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal
yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous
plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly
dried out. Materials such as stalks or heavy branches up
to 1-1/2" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.
WARNING:Do not attempt to shred,
chip, or vacuum any material larger
than specified on the machine or in this
manual. Personal injury or damage to the machine
could result.
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 the Mainte-
nance section. 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.
