WARNINg
Before operating your machine, be sure you read and un-
derstand all safety, controls and operating instructions in this
Owner/Operator's manual and on your machine. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious injury or prop-
erty damage.
6.
Once engine is running and no choke is needed, set engine
to 1/4 throttle and slowly release the engagement handle.
This will engage the drive belt and the disk will turn.
7.
If the engine stalls when engaging the drive belt, either use
more choke or increase engine RPM.
8.
Bring engine to full RPM.

It is important to bring the engine to full RPM before oper-
ating the chipper. The chipper feed controller requires the
chipper disk to turn at full RPM in order to operate.
NoTE
The disk will continue to turn for some time after the engine
has been shut off. Make sure disk has stopped completely
before inspecting or servicing machine.
WARNINg
The chipper base must always be locked in place. Failure to
do so may result in machine vibration, serious bodily injury
or death.
