Page 11: Operation Description
Chipper Operation The chipper is designed to handle tree limbs and branch- es up to 3" in diameter (2-1/2" on Model 5/14). The pow- erful motor and durable chipping knives also permit the unit to process tough organic matter such as corn stalks and berry canes. -
Page 12: Checks Before Starting
•. no fuel has spilled onto engine or surrounding components. •. all hardware and parts are properly secured. •. no foreign objects are in chipper cone or shredder hopper. •. your clothing is not excessively loose or hanging down, and you are not wearing jewelry or other articles that could get caught in the machinery. - Page 13 Never wrap your fingers around tree limbs and branches so tightly that you can’t let go quickly if the tree limb or branch is suddenly pulled into the chipper block or shred- der hopper area. Leaves and other lightweight organic matter can be quickly shredded in your chipper/ shredder and reduced to 1/20th of their original volume.

Page 14: Material Processing
You may need to sharpen the chipper blades to process the material. Consult the mainte- nance and service section of this manual for sharpen- ing instructions, or take your unit to an authorized ser- vice center for prompt, reliable service. -
Page 15: Waste Materials Guide
Operation WASTE MATERIALS GUIDE Your chipper/shredder is designed to efficiently process a wide variety of organic yard and garden waste materi- als. To obtain consistent performance, extend the life of your unit, and help ensure safe operation, do not attempt to process non-organic materials, and always follow the material requirements shown in the Waste Materials Guide below. -
Page 16: Normal Care Schedule
Your chipper/shredder has been designed and produced by the industry’s leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment to provide you with years of reliable operation. Keeping your chipper/shredder in top running condition will prolong its life, and help you obtain optimum performance whenever you wish to chip or shred yard or garden waste. -
Page 17: Oil Level
WARNING Never drain oil immediately after running the chipper/shredder, as it will be hot and could cause burns if allowed to splash onto your hands or body. 2. Dispose of used oil by returning it to an oil recycling center or service station with a oil recycling tank. -
Page 18: Inspect/Rotate Shredding Hammers
For proper engine cooling, the cool- ing fins on the engine cylinder head area must also be kept clear of chipper/shredder deposits, as well as any other build-up of debris that could prevent heat from radi- ating away from the engine. -
Page 19: Check Safety Labels
Contact your local authorized dealer for replacement if these parts need to be replaced. Inspect Chipper Cone & Shredder Hopper The chipper cone and shredder hopper are made of a highly durable polyethylene material that can withstand repeated abrasion and impact from normal chipper/shredder waste material processing. -
Page 20: Storage
(30 Days Or Less) Remember, the chipper/shredder fuel tank probably will still contain some gasoline, so never store the chipper/ shredder indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the chipper/shredder in any structure used for human or animal habitation. -
