• Move choke lever to CHOKE position. (A warm

engine may not require choking). See Figure 10.

 

 

 

Figure 10

Move throttle control lever to FAST (rabbit) position. See Figure 11.

Avoid shredding fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Fresh vines do not shred well and tend to wrap themselves around the impeller and flails.

Place reasonable amounts of debris into the hopper at a time. Do not overload the hopper.

Allow the material in the hopper to be drawn into the blades and shredded before adding additional debris to the hopper. Failure to due so may result in a clogged hopper, clogged discharge chute or a stalled engine.

Avoid placing twigs longer than 24 inches into the hopper. Twigs longer than 24 inches may result in a clogged hopper.

IMPORTANT: Never place branches with a diameter greater than 1/2-inch in the hopper. Doing so can result in serious damage to your unit’s shredder blade, flails or impeller.

Figure 11

Grasp the starter handle and pull the rope out slowly until resistance is felt. When it becomes slightly harder to pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil. Then pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle.

Repeat the previous steps until engine starts. When engine starts, move choke control gradually toward the RUN position until the engine is running smoothly.

NOTE: A “clanky” noise may be heard when pulling the starter rope. It is completely normal and does NOT indicate a malfunction of any kind. The noise is caused by the flails (part of the shredding mechanism) pivoting on the chipper shredder’s impeller as it rotates.

Allow the rope to recoil slowly.

WARNING: Never run the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

Clearing the Hopper

Should the hopper become clogged with debris during operation, proceed as follows:

Grasp the handle with both hands and gently

agitate the chipper shredder to help loosen debris, drawing it into the impeller.

If the clog does not clear, proceed as follows:

Stop engine.

Use your hands to remove any debris found near the top of the hopper .

Use a branch (or other available device, i.e. broomstick) to dislodge debris located toward the base of the hopper.

Restart engine.

NOTE: If you’re unable to pull the starter rope as a result of accumulated debris near the impeller, follow instructions under the heading Cleaning the Reduction Chamber.

Shredding

Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be placed in the hopper for shredding. After material has been processed by the shredder blade and flails, it will be forced out of the discharge chute, and, if attached, into a debris collection bag. Observe the following guidelines when shredding yard debris:

Never attempt to shred material other than normal yard debris (leaves, twigs, pine cones, etc.).
