SECTION 4: OPERATING YOUR CHIPPER SHREDDER
WARNING: The operation of any chipper shredder can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear the safety glasses provided with this unit or eye shields before chipping or shred- ding and while performing any adjustments or repairs.
•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).
Gas and Oil Fill-Up
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your chipper shredder. Read instructions carefully.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors with engine running or until the engine has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes after running.
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).
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.
