COMPOST

Vacuumed leaves, grass and other organic material from your own yard can be emptied into a pile or composter to provide enriched soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds

NOTE: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living plants.

MULCH

Wood chips made from branches in your own yard make excellent mulch. A thick blanket of wood chips around plants and flowers to keeps weeds out and moisture in.

CHIPPER OPERATION (TKV only)

Your TKV chipper is designed to process tree branches and limbs up to 2" (50.8mm) diameter.

Several small branches can be grouped together and fed together into the chipper (see figure right).

When feeding forked branches, squeeze forks together and feed into chipper entrance (DO NOT overload). If forks are too large, use a pair of loppers to trim forks down to size. A lopper storage bracket is provided on every unit (loppers are not included)

Clearing a clogged chipper (TKV only)

Under normal circumstances, allow time for machine to clear all wood from chipper hopper before stopping engine. Otherwise, remaining pieces of wood will jam inside of chipper when engine stops. (See Tamper below).

Wearing durable gloves, access impeller through debris outlet on fan housing and rotate impeller counter clock wise to dislodge and remove jam and remove debris from hopper with tongs or equivalent. Reconnect debris bag quick disconnect to machine.

TAMPER (TKV only)

Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push remaining pieces of wood through the chipper. This can prevent any remaining wood from jamming in the chipper when machine is turned off.

Do not leave tamper on the ground, store tamper in the chipper hopper.
