CLEANING
After use, always wipe clean the outside of the machine to remove any build up of material with a
damp cloth. Clean the inside of the cutting chamber and remove any left over material.
TOP HOPPER – FRONT CHUTE
The sloping chute of the Top Hopper is designed to accept leaves and small garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of the debris through the blade chamber.
Do not overload and do not feed wet, soggy material into the machine as this may clog the blade
chamber and the discharge chute. Fig. 12
If a finer mulch is required than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again until the
desired result is obtained.
SIDE CHUTE
The chute located at the rear of the machine is specially designed to accept solid garden clippings
and branches up to 1-1/4” in diameter.
IMPORTANT:
When feeding long, large diameter material, control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material
so as not to stall or overload the motor. Fig. 13
