j.To reduce a fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.

k.Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.

OPERATION

1.Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.

2.Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed intake, and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.

3.Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could cause personal injury or damage to the machine.

4.If it becomes necessary to push material through the shredder hopper, use a small diameter stick. Do not use your hands or feet.

5.If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut the engine off. Allow the impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and perform the following steps:

a.Inspect for damage.

b.Repair or replace any damaged parts.

c.Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe operation.

6.Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the reduction chamber. This can prevent proper discharge and result in kickback of material through the feed opening.

7.Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than specified on the machine or in this manual. Personal injury or machine damage could result.

8.Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge opening while the engine is running. Shut the engine off, wait until all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before clearing debris.

9.Never operate without the shredder hopper, chipper chute, or discharge chute properly attached to the machine. Never empty or change discharge bag while the engine is running.

10.Keep all guards, deflectors and safety devices in place and operating properly.

11.Keep your face and body back and to the side of the chipper chute while feeding material into the machine to avoid accidental kickback injuries.

12.Never operate this machine without good visibility or light.

13.Do not operate this machine on a paved, gravel or non-level surface.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

2.Check bolts and screws for proper tightness at frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage and repair, if needed.

3.Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

4.Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

5.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

6.Follow this manual for safe loading, unloading, transporting, and storage of this machine.

7.Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, etc.
