IMPORTANT: There is a flail screen located inside

the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in the Service and Adjustments section. For best per- formance, 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 dis- charged slows down considerably, it is likely that the shredding blade and/or chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to Service and Adjustments section.
