REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

1. SHREDDER CHUTE

Materials no larger than 3/4" (1.9 cm) in diameter are fed

through the shredder chute to the shredder knives.

2. CHIPPER CHUTE

Materials no larger than 3" (7.6 cm) to be chipped are fed

through the chipper chute to the chipper blades.

3. ENGINE THROTTLE

This controls the speed of the engine. Increase the throttle by moving the lever to the FAST position. To decrease

the throttle, move the lever to the SLOW position.

4. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE

During engine start-up, the engagement handle

must be in the disengaged (UP) position. With the

engine at 1/4 throttle, carefully engage the rotor

by slowly pushing the engagement handle down,

allowing the rotor to speed up gradually. Engaging

the chipper too quickly with the engine at full or half

throttle will bog down the engine and will shorten

the life of the belt. See Sections 4.2 and 4.4.

5. ENGINE CHOKE

Use when starting a cold engine. Move lever to the

choke position when starting. Move lever to the run

position when engine is running. Refer to engine

manual for further engine operating instructions.

overall good performance.

CHIPPING OPERATION

The chipping operation takes place on the front of the

machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are

mounted on a rotating rotor assembly. Material fed into

the chipper chute is sliced into small chips and propelled

out through a discharge tube.

SHREDDING OPERATION

In this operation, hardened steel shredder knives grind

up material fed into the shredder chute. The shredded

material then leaves the shredder area by traveling

through the discharge screen. The shredded material can

be diverted into a container or onto the ground.

4.1 STARTING ENGINE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THIS MACHINE,

MAKE SURE THE BELT IS DISENGAGED AND THE

HANDLE IS IN THE "START" POSITION.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO START MACHINE WITH THE

DRIVE BELT ENGAGED.

1. Check engine oil level before starting.

2. Place the throttle control midway between the SLOW

and FAST positions. Place the choke control into the

CHOKE position.

3. Place the chipper engagement lever in the START

position.

4. Use key switch/recoil to start the engine.

5. Move the clutch to the RUN position.

Ɣ For a cold engine: gradually return the choke to the

OFF position after the engine starts and warms up.

Ɣ For a warm engine: use of choke may not be

necessary for restart of a warm engine. If it is needed,

return choke to the OFF position once the engine

starts.

4.2 OPERATING THE CHIPPER

After the engine has been started and properly allowed

to warm to an operating temperature, you can begin

operating the chipper. To properly start and operate the

chipper, follow the steps below:

1. AFTER engine is warmed and ready for use, move

the throttle control back to approximately 25% of full

throttle.

2. When engine is running at approximately 25% of

full throttle, SLOWLY engage belt by using the belt

engagement lever.

DO NOT engage the belt with engine running at

high RPM.

OPERATION

Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual.

Failure to operate the machine in accordance with

the safety instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL

INJURY!

WARNING

4.3 CHIPPER OPERATION GUIDELINES

The machine chips a variety of materials into a more

readily decomposed or handled condition. The following

guidelines will help you get started.

1. Gradually increase engine speed until full throttle

is achieved.

2. ALWAYS run engine at full operating speed before

starting to chip material.

3. If the chipper rotor slows, stop feeding material.

Allow the rotor to process backed up material. Feed

material more evenly.

4. If the chipper jams, remove the branch and rotate

it before reinserting into the chute. Alternately insert

and retract the limb or insert continuously at a rate

that will not kill the engine.

5. Sharpen the chipping blades periodically. Check

the sharpness of the blades every 5-15 hours. Refer to

the Service and Maintenance section for sharpening

instructions.

6. Limbs fed in to the chipper chute must be 3"

(7.6 cm) in diameter or less. Trim side branches that

cannot be bent enough to feed into the chipper chute.

Hold small diameter branches together in a bundle

and feed in simultaneously.

7. Material fed into the shredder chute must be 3/4"

(1.9 cm) in diameter or less. Common shredding

materials include grass, leaves, garden refuse, sticks,

and small branches.

8. Alternate green or fresh cut material with dry

material to lubricate the chipping blades for

longer life and better performance. Chipping dead,

dry material will create heat and dull the chipping

blades quicker.

9. ALWAYS feed brush from the side of the chipper

chute, rather than from the front. Step aside to avoid

being hit by the brush moving into the chipper.

10. $/:$<6 SODFH OLPE EXWW HQG ¿UVW LQWR WKH

chipper chute until it contacts the chipper blades.

The actual feed rate of the limb into the chipper will

depend on the type of material fed and sharpness of

the cutting blades.

11. NEVER use the belt engagement to clear a

plugged rotor. This may cause belt damage. Refer

to the instructions for clearing a plugged rotor in the

Service and Maintenance section.

12. NEVER attempt to clear a plugged rotor or discharge

with the engine running. ALWAYS shut engine OFF

and remove the spark plug wire before servicing any

part of this machine.

13. NEVER attempt to chip pieces of metal, rock, bottles,
