Controls & Major Components

OPERATING CONTROLS

Your new chipper/shredder has been designed for both ease of use and lasting reliability, and features a simplified control system that requires just two operating controls.

These two operating controls, the Choke and the Throttle, are conveniently located on the chipper/ shredder engine where they can be easily adjusted to start and run the unit under a variety of operating condi- tions.

Choke

The choke controls the fuel to air ratio, and helps make cold starts easier by providing a rich, easily ignited fuel mixture.

C. Bag

The two-bushel bag is standard equipment and attaches in seconds for direct, one-step bagging.

D. The Support Leg And Wheels

The sturdy support leg and wide-track wheels give your chipper/shredder a stable, 3-point stance, allowing solid positioning on virtually all surfaces. The large wheel diameter and durable rubber tread design make transporting the unit easy, and the low center of gravity helps prevent tipping while moving over bumpy or uneven ter- rain.
