NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The nozzle can be adjusted to any of five positions,
ranging from 5/8" to 4-1/8" ground clearance. The
nozzle height has to be adjusted according to yard
conditions. Move the height adjustment levers
forward or backward to adjust the nozzle upwards or
downwards. See Figure 16.
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.

DRIVE CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the drive control cable if the yard vacuum does
not self propel with the drive control engaged, or if the
unit hesitates while the engine maintains the same
speed after approximately 20 hours of use.
To move the z-fitting of the drive control cable from its
factory set position in the front hole of the drive
control to the rear hole, proceed as follows:
• Remove the drive control by pushing the right
side of the control out of the right hole in the
upper handle. Pivot control down towards the
lower handle and then straight up to remove it
from the left hole in the upper handle. See Figure
17A.
• There is now sufficient slack in the drive control
cable to grasp the z-fitting with your hand and
move it from the front hole to the rear hole of the
drive control. See Figure 17B.
