VACUUMING ATTACHMENTS AND SHREDDER SCREENS IDENTIFICATION
Figures 3-3 through 3-7 identify
the vacuuming attachments and
shredder screens that are available
for your particular model machine.
Vacuum Snout
The Vacuum Snout (see Photo 3-3)
comes as standard equipment on
the 5HP model. The Vacuum
Snout automatically draws mate-
rial off the ground and into the
processing chamber as you walk
behind your machine.
Rake-In Tray
The Rake-In Tray (see Photo 3-4)
comes as standard equipment on
the 4HP model and is an option
for the 5HP model. The Rake-In
Tray lets you rake leaves and
other lawn debris directly into the
machine. It is especially useful
for processing heavy accumula-
tions of debris in the Spring and
Fall.
Vacuum Hose
The optional Vacuum Hose (see
Photo 3-5) is available for both the
4HP and 5HP Models. The flexi-
ble hose allows you to easily reach
in, around, under and behind
bushes, shrubs, trees, fences, lawn
furniture, etc.
Vacuum Inlet Cap
The optional Vacuum Inlet Cap
(see Photo 3-6) is available for
both the 4HP and 5HP Models.
The cap partially covers the vac-.
uum inlet - restricting air flow into
the processing chamber and thus
providing a bit more processing
power when operating the chipper
exclusively. The cap also allows
you to transport the machine with-
out having a vacuuming attach-
ment installed.
Shredder Screens
The shredder screen (see Figure
3-7) fits inside the processing
chamber, completely surrounding
the vacuum fan blades. Material
that has been chipped or vacuumed
must pass through the slots in the
screen before it is discharged. The
size of the slots in the screen deter-
mine how fmely materials are
shredded. The standard, 1-1/8"
slotted screen supplied with all
machines will produce up to an 8: 1
reduction of material. The op-
tional, 3/4" slotted screen will pro-
duce more fmely shredded mate-
rial at a ratio of up to 11: 1.
