Check the fuel level periodically to avoid running out of gasoline while operating the chipper-shredder. If the unit runs out of gas as it is shredding or chipping, it may be necessary to unclog the unit before it can be

restarted. Refer to "Removing the Flail Screen" in SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT section.

WARNING: EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCO- HOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR

USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND

FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE. TO AVOID

ENGINE PROBLEMS, THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE EMPTIED OR TREATED WITH FUEL STABILIZER BEFORE STORAGE FOR 30 DAYS OR LONGER. USE FRESH FUEL NEXT SEASON.

SEE "STORAGE" SECTION FOR ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION.

•Move choke lever to CHOKE position (See figure 13.).

•Grasp starter handle (see figure 12) and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compres- sion cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly.

NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the flails and fingers which are part of the shredding mech- anism falling into place, and should be expected. In addition, the flails and fingers will be noisy after the engine is started, until the impeller reaches full speed.

•Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke, Keep a firm grip on start handle. Let rope rewind

slowly. Do not let starter handle snap back against starter.

•Repeat preceding two instructions until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke lever on engine halfway between CHOKE and RUN.

NOTE: If engine does not fire after three attempts, move choke lever halfway between CHOKE and RUN position and try again. See figure 13.

•Move throttle control to IDLE position for a few min-

utes warm-up. Move choke lever to RUN position as engine warms up,

NOTE: In order to idle smoothly, a new engine may require 3 to 5 minutes running above slow idle speed. Idle speed has been adjusted to be correct after this

break-in period.
