ac Kit Assembly
(Optional)
The optional vacuum kit, 15 feet long and 4” in
diameter, is used to vacuum and grind leaves,
pine straw and other loose organic waste. The
kit is sold separately; instructions are provided
here and with the kit for your convenience.
FIRST
Insert two 1.25”-20 carriage bolts from inside the
nozzle and through the holes in the handle.
Fasten with the two 1/4”-20 serrated flange nuts
provided using a 7/16” wrench.
SECOND
Push one end of the hose firmly into the nozzle.
The nozzle has what is called a “regressive” fit.
Turn the nozzle a few times to adjust the angle
of the nozzle.
THIRD*
Thread the other end of the hose into the adap-
tor about three inches. You may need to tug it
through from the other side.
FOURTH*
When you want to use the vac, snap the adaptor
into the hopper
befor
e you turn on the engine
. The
adaptor only fits with the DANGER decal on
your right as you stand behind the machine.
FIFTH & LAST*
Snap the cone cover over the chipper cone. This
seals off all air flow for maximum vacuuming
power.
