Starting Engine, To Empty Bag | MTD 462 thru 465 specs

Starting Engine

•Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.

•Engines with choke lever:

Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may not require choking).

•Engines with primer:

Prime engine as instructed in separate engine manual.

•The throttle control lever is located on the engine. Move engine throttle control lever to FAST or START position.

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

NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the fails and fingers, which are part of the shredding mecha- nism, and it should be expected until the impeller reaches full speed.

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

•Repeat the previous steps until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke control (if equipped) gradually to RUN position.

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

To Empty Bag

•Depress the plunger on the drawstring and slide the plunger out to loosen bag from discharge chute opening.

•Empty bag and reattach to the discharge chute opening. Depress the plunger on the drawstring and pull on the drawstring until the bag is tight around the chute opening.

Lowering The Hopper Assembly

•With one hand grasp the handle at the top of the hopper assembly and lift slightly.

•With the other hand pull out on the release rod and lower the hopper assembly to the ground.

Using The Chipper Shredder

Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up through the hopper assembly for shredding. After material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into catcher bag. Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up to 3” in diameter on models 463 thru 465 and 2” in diameter on models 462 can be fed into the chipper chute.
