REASON, INTO ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE.

increments. Unit is ready to use when engine is running at full R.P.M.
*CAUTION: NEW BELTS WILL "CHATTER".

etc.

HINTS
1. When putting brush in shredder side, throw material in and let it go, do not put it in. IF IT
GETS STUCK, LEAVE IT. The next branch will pull it in. DO NOT REACH INTO
HOPPER.
2. When using the chipper side and you have a SHORT PIECE OF WOOD BOUNCING
AROUND IN THE HOPPER, LEAVE IT. The next branch will push it in. DO NOT
REACH INTO THE HOPPER FOR ANY REASON.
3. When at low idle, you may hear a loud clanking noise. This is most likely the flail blades.
Noise should disappear with a higher R.P.M.
4. When feeding leaves into the shredder side or vacuum hose, feed them slowly. A large
volume of wet leaves at once can clog the machine.
