SECTION 1: FINDING YOUR MODEL NUMBER

This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new chipper-shredder. It will help you assemble, prepare and maintain your chipper-shredder. Please read and understand what it says.

Before you prepare your chipper-shredder for its first use, please locate the model plate and copy the information from it in this Operator’s Manual. The information on the model plate is very important if you need help from your dealer or the MTD Customer Support Department.

Every chipper shredder has a model plate. You can locate it by standing behind the unit in the operating position and looking down at the frame next to the engine. See Figure 1.

This is where your model number will be.

XXX-X-XXX-X-XXX XXXXXXXXXXX

This is where your serial number will be.
