4. STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure no one other than

the operator is standing near the chipper- shredder while starting or operating. Do not operate this chipper-shredder unless the

chute deflector has been properly installed and is secured with the hand knobs.

NOTE: To prevent the unit from sliding, place your foot firmly against the tire.

1. Attach spark pl Jg wire

\

Place Throttle

in Fast Position

\

_4. Pull rope

3.Move choke to "on" position

Figure 11

Attach spark plug wire and rubber boot to spark plug.

@Move starter switch to "ON" position.

@Move choke lever to CHOKE position (in the direction of the arrow).

If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, move choke lever to "No Choke" position.

Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly.

@Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return to starter slowly.

When engine starts, move choke lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly and then to No Choke position.

If engine fails to start after three pulls, move choke lever to No Choke position and pull starter rope again.

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to Full Choke position and pull rope again.

Move choke lever to OFF position as engine warms up.

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 mechanism 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.

5. STOPPING ENGINE

Move starter switch to OFF position.

Disconnect spark plug wire and move away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

6. USING YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER

WARNING: Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e., branches, leaves, twigs, etc.).

The chipper-shredder is designed for three different methods of operation.

a.Leaves and small branches up to 1" diameter (maximum) can be fed into the hopper assembly when it is in the raised or lowered position. See figure 12.

b.Bulky material, such as stalks or heavy branches, up to 3" in diameter should be fed into the chipper chute. See figure 12.

WARNING: Do not put material larger

than is specified into the hopper, and/or into the chipper chute. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

If it becomes necessary to push material into the

chipper-shredder, use a small diameter stick -- NOT YOUR HANDS. The stick should be small

enough that it will be ground up if it gets into the impeller assembly.

7. LOWER THE HOPPER ASSEMBLY

To lower the hopper assembly, use one hand to grasp the hand-hold at the top of the hopper assembly and lift slightly. See figure 5.

Pull up on the release bar, and lower the hopper assembly to the ground. Release the bar. See figure 5.

WARNING: Never remove chute deflector till the unit has completely stopped. Never shut off the engine until all chipping is

completed.

For best performance, it is important to keep the shredding blade and the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate at which the material is discharged slows down considerably, it
