impeller to come to a complete stop. The impeller continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the impeller area until you are sure the impeller has stopped rotating.

Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

eDo not allow leaves or other debris to build-up on

engine's muffler. The debris could ignite and cause a fire.

Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than

specified in this manual. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over carburetor air-intake is removed, except for adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.

Only use accessories approved for this machine by the manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory.

If situations occur which are not covered by this

manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your dealer for assistance.

Keep discharge chute deflector, chipper chute door, and all other guards and safety devices in place and operating properly.

Only operate unit in good daylight. Do not operate unit at night or in dark areas where your vision may be impaired.

2. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of small children. Children are often attracted to the chipper-shredder and the chipping and shredding

activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

•Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the operator.

•Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the area.

•Never allow children under the age of 16 to operate the chipper-shredder.

3. SERVICE

•Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

a.Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children. Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

b.Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

c.Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

d.Never refuel unit indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.

e.Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or spark such as a gas hot water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.

Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless and deadly poisonous gas.

To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up. Clean up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean air filter.

Check the blade and engine mounting screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also visually inspect blades for wear and/or damage (e.g., bent, cracked). Replace with blades which meet original equipment specifications.

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

After striking a foreign object, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the unit for any damage. Repair damage before starting and operating unit. Do not alter or tamper with the engine's governor setting. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to other moving parts of the machine.
