accessory or an attachment. Be aware of
changing conditions on slopes,
Inspect the Chipper Vac to make sure all covers (rear
door, hard top boot, elbow, chipper chute with tamper
plug, hose adapter (nozzle), hose and deck adapter
are properly attached.
Check tires for proper inflation (12 -14 Ibs).
Check oil and gas in Chipper Vac engine.
Begin operation at low speed, adjusting forward speed
to match grass height and/or moisture condition to
prevent clogging.
Do not attempt to vacuum up any material other than
vegetation found in a normal yard, such as light
branches, leaves, twigs, etc.
&WARNING: Should your Chipper Vac
become clogged, shut off tractor and

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
housing can cause serious injury. Use
the tamper plug to help push material
down into the chute.
