small

branches

up

to

1/2"

diameter

(recommended)

or

1"

diameter

(maximum)

can

be

fed

into

the

hopper

assembly.

See

figure

5.

If

it

becomes

necessary

to

push

material

into

the

chip­

per-shredder,

use

a

small

diameter

stick—NOT

YOUR

HANDS.

The

stick

should

be

small

enough

that

it

will

be

ground

up

if

gets

into

the

impeller

assembly.

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.
