Attaching The Blower Chute
NOTE: The bag must be removed before installing the blower chute.
1. Grasp blower chute with one hand and slide locking rod on mounting bracket
with other hand toward engine. Use the end of mounting bracket as leverage
when sliding the locking rod. See Figure 8.
2. Slip blower chute over rim of discharge opening and release locking rod to
secure chute in place, as in Figure 8.
NOTE: The bag/chute switch button attached to the mounting bracket must
be fully depressed by the tip of front tab on the blower chute or engine will
not start.
IMPORTANT: Raise the nozzle height to the highest setting when using the
blower chute. Refer to nozzle height adjustment below.
Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before performing any
maintenance or adjustments. Always wear safety glasses during operation
or while performing any adjustments or repairs.
Nozzle Height Adjustment
The nozzle can be adjusted to any five positions, ranging from 5/8" to 4-1/8" ground
clearance. The nozzle height has to be adjusted according to yard conditions.
1. Depress nozzle height adjustment lever towards wheel. See Figure 9.
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
or to operate with the blower chute. Lower the nozzle height for smoother
surfaces.
