opening in the back at the top.\u00a0 I originally had planned to enclose that area with a screen, but it turns out it&#8217;s not necessary.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a deflector that blows the incoming grass downward so very little escapes out the top.\u00a0 And, the impeller moves so much air that the large opening works out well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I found the hose that I needed in the classifieds.\u00a0 The diameter was an inch too large, but the price was right.\u00a0 I made up the difference in diameter by wrapping duct tape around the hose connection to build it up an inch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The vacuum works great and sure beats raking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As always if you have any questions or comments, you can contact me through this
