• Position the adapter over the deck opening, and
check for fit of cutout as shown in figure 30. Trim
cutout, if necessary, to aliow tilting of adapter,

keeping the fit as close as possible for best vacuum
suction.

• Assemble the adapter bracket to the deck using two
5/16" X 1" hex bolts, 5/16" flat washers and 5/16" hex
lock nuts. See figure 32.

NOTE; It may be necessary to use extra 5/16" flat

washers to shim under the bracket next to the deck

surface. Ten extra washers have been furnished as
shims. See figure 32.

Holding the adapter bracket and the deck adapter
together, position the deck adapter on the mower
deck. Keeping the edge of deck adapter as close as

possible to the offset in the adapter bracket, see if

the slot in the adapter bracket can be aligned with

one or two of the deflector holes in your mower
deck's discharge opening. If the bracket can not be
located correctly using existing holes, it will be

necessary to drill one or two 5/16" diameter holes in

the deck. See figure 31.

Use existing holes or drill 5/16"
diameter hole or holes.

• With deck adapter positioned correctly over the
discharge opening, use the adapter bracket as a
template and drill three 9/32" diameter holes in the
top of the deck adapter. See figure 33.

• Bolt deck adapter to bracket using three 1/4" x 3/4"

bolts, nylon washers, 1/4" flat washers and 1/4" hex
lock nuts. Nylon washers should be against the
inside of the ddck adapter. See figure 33.

FOR 1990 AND NEWER MURRAY TRACTORS WITH A 38" OR 40" DECK

FOR 1990 AND NEWER MURRAY

TRACTORS WITH A 46" DECK

• Cut out two templates and place on deck adapter as
shown in figure 34. Tape smaller one on top and
larger one on the side and bottom. After they are in
place, carefully mark around the templates, then cut
out adapter to obtain correct opening.

• Bolt end of mounting strap to the 5/16" bolt on the

mower deck. The other end of the strap will bolt to a
hole in the deck adapter, which must be drilled.
Position the adapter on the deck, then drill a 5/16"
hole in the bottom of the adapter that will align with
the hole in the strap. Fasten the adapter to the strap

using one 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolt, 1/4" flat washer, nylon

washer and 1/4" hex lock nut. See figure 34.

• Tape 46" template onto deck adapter. Mark and then
cut out adapter.

• Fasten the angle bracket and the mounting bracket to
the mower deck as shown in figure 35. Use two 5/16"

X 3/4“ carriage bolts, 5/16" flat washers and 5/16"
lock nuts. The bolt heads go on inside of mower
deck.

• Drill two 5/16“ diameter holes in the deck adapter that

will align with the holes in the angle bracket and the

mounting bracket. Assemble the deck adapter to both

brackets using two 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolts, 1/4" flat
washers, nylon washers and 1/4" hex lock nuts. See
figure 35.

USING THE CHIPPER CHUTE

• Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in
diameter may be fed Into the chipper chute as shown

in figure 37.

• Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when
feeding material into the chipper chute.

• Use the tamper plug, not your hands, to force material
down through the chipper chute.

• For best performance, it is important to keep the
chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the
material being discharged changes (becomes stringy,
etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider
ably, it is likely that the chipper blades are dull and

need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the
Service and Adjustments section, on page 23.

WARNING: Do not attempt to feed any

material larger than 3" in diameter into

the chipper chute. Personal injury or
damage to the machine could result.

DANGER: Keep hands out of chipper

chute. Rotating blades in impeller

BEFORE EACH USE

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

• Make a thorough visual check of the Chipper Vac for
any bolts and nuts which may have loosened.

Retiphten any loose bolts and nuts. •

CHECK VINYL BOOT

• Check the vinyl boot {on front of hardtop) for wear.

disconnect spark plug wire before clean

A

ing, lubricating or before performing any
repairs or maintenance.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

• Check oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil

as instructed in the separate engine manual.

• Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal

conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should
be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the
separate engine manual.

• The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset

once a season. Spark plug replacement at the start
of each seasort.is recommended. Check the engine

manual for correct plug type and gap specifications.

CLEANING

• Make sure the cart, the sides and front panel and top
are cleaned after each use. Grass clippings and

leaves left in the cart will mildew and cause damage
if not cleaned out.

• Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.

Keep the cooling fins on the engine housing clean to
permit proper air circulation which is essential to
engine performance and life. Be sure to remove all
dirt and debris from muffler area.

opening by rotating the impeller assembly by hand.
Remove the blade using a 3/16“ alien wrench on the
outside of the blade and a 1/2" wrench on the impel
ler assembly, inside the housing.

• Remove the other blade in the same manner.

• Replace or sharpen blades. If sharpening, make
certain to remove an equal amount from each blade.

Reassemble in reverse order.

NOTE: Make certain the blades are reassembled with

the sharp edge facing upward, as viewed from the access

plate opening.

• Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.

• Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.

• If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed,
