Use the vacuum kit to conveniently rake dry leaves
and grass clippings into the leaf tray, where the material 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 vacu-
um kit works best on dry leaves.
REMOVING THE VACUUM KIT
1.
When not using the vacuum kit, turn off the engine,
let the rotor come to a complete, stop and disconnect 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.
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.
3. Insert the plastic plug (3) into the adapter and twist
until it seats completely
