OPERATION
Before Each Use Inspect the Chipper-Shredder
1. Make sure the spark plug wire has been disconnected
and engine has been grounded.
2. Visually inspect all attachments and chutes for loose
fittings, cracks, fraying or other damage.
3. DO NOT operate the chipper-shredder if there is any
indication of damage to parts or the unit.
4. DO NOT operate the chipper-shredder if there are any
clogged chutes. Remove all debris before operation.
5. Inspect the engine and make sure the oil level and
fuel level are correct before operating.
6. Clean and inspect the spark arrestor regularly (follow
spark arrestor maintenance schedule).
7. Inspect the collection bag for any fraying, holes or
damage. Never use a damaged collection bag.
8. Inspect the work area for any distractions or elements
that may prevent operator safety or proper operation.
DO NOT operate a damaged chipper-shredder,
or one with damaged or loose parts. Operating a
damaged unit or one with loose parts may cause
damage to the product or injury to the user. Make
sure all parts are in good condition and secure
before operation.
DANGER
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the chipper-shredder is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug. Make
sure the connection is secure.
3. Turn engine switch to “ON” position. (A)
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position. (B)
5. Move the throttle level to the middle position. (C)
6. Move the choke lever to the “Choke” position. (D)
7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly. SEE NOTE BELOW.
8. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to “Run.”
(D)
9. Move the throttle lever to the “Fast” position. (C)
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
A
B
C
D
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the chipper-shredder is on a flat, level surface.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
NOTE
Pulling the recoil cord will spin the impeller and
this will make noises. These noises are normal
and should be made as the cord is pulled and the
impeller spins.
NOTE
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
