Rapid retraction of the recoil starter cord can pull the starter
cord back faster than you can let go. When starting the engine,
pull the cord slowly until resistance is felt then pull rapidly to
avoid kickback.
NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the
compression cycle. This noise is caused by the flails and fingers,
which are part of the shredding mechanism, and it should be expected
until the impeller reaches full speed.
Step 7: When engine starts, move choke control gradually to the RUN
position.
Using the Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up and
placed in the chipper funnel for shredding. DO NOT PUT BRANCHES
LARGER THAN 1/4” DIAMETER INTO THE LEAF FUNNEL.
LARGER BRANCHES SHOULD BE FED INTO THE LIMB CHUTE.
When using the limb chute to chip branches, it is important to let the
chipper feed the branches through automatically. DO NOT attempt to
force the branches through. If the branches do not automatically feed
through, gently push the branch and then allow the chipper to
automatically feed the branch through.
Once material is shredded by the hammers on the impeller assembly,
it is discharged through the open discharge chute.
Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than normal yard
vegetation found (i.e., branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous, wet
vegetation such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried. Twigs
and small branches can be fed into the limb chute. (See model
specifications for maximum cutting thickness.)
IMPORTANT:
The hammer screen is located inside the housing in the
discharge area. If the screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as
instructed. For best performance, it is also important to keep the
chipper blades sharp.
If the discharge area becomes clogged:
 Stop the engine. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and
ground against the engine.
 Remove leaf funnel
 Reach in and clear the debris causing the blockage. Reinstall the
funnel and the clean out access hatch.
 Connect the spark plug wire and restart.
NOTE: If the blockage is severe, the hammer screen within the
discharge chute can be removed as well, providing greater access. To
accomplish this, remove the discharge chute and the flail screen out of
the discharge chute.
This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe
operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment,
carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious
injury.
Always wear hearing and eye protection while operating this
machine or if you are within 75 feet of this machine.
Add
Gasoline and Oil
Step 1: Add gasoline
Step 2: Add 10W-30 oil until the oil is about to overflow from the oil
fill spout. (see page 2 for capacity) A low oil sensor will prevent the
engine from running unless the oil is COMPLETELY FULL
. Ensure both
oil fill plugs are secure after filling.
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 the Engine
Step 3: Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the plug
wire on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal
tip on the spark plug.
Step 4: Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm
engine may not require choking).
Step 5: Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
Step 6: Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine
reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this
point). Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm
grip on starter handle. Let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat the previous
steps until engine fires.
