CLEANING THE REDUCTION CHAMBER

WARNING: The impeller's shredder blade and
chipper blades are sharp. Wear leather work
gloves to protect your hands when cleaning out
the reduction chamber.
If the reduction chamber becomes clogged with debris,
the shredder screen can be pivoted upward so that you
can clean the surrounding area. To do so, proceed as
follows:
1.1. Stop the engine and wait until all moving parts
have come to a complete stop.
1.2. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away
from the spark plug.
WARNING: The muffler and surrounding area
will be hot if the engine has been running. Use
caution and protect your hands if working near
the muffler.
