4. Pull rope
Figure 1t
Attach spark plug wire and rubber boot to spark
plug. See figure 11.
Place throttle in FAST position. See figure 11.
Move choke lever to CHOKE position (in the
direction of the arrow) as shown.
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, move choke lever to =No Choke"
position.
Grasp starter handle and pull ropeout slowly
untilengine reaches startof compressioncycle
(rope willpull slightlyharder at this point).Let
the rope rewind slowly. Pull ropewith a rapidfull
arm stroke. Let rope returnto starter slowly.See
figure 11.
When engine starts, move choke lever to half
choke positionuntil engine runs smoothlyand
then to No Choke position.
If engine fails to start after three pulls, move
choke lever to No Choke positionand pullstarter
rope again.
Ifengine rims, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to Full Choke positionand pull
rope again.
Move choke lever to OFF positionas engine
warms up.
NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of
the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the
flails and fingers which are part of the shredding
mechanism falling intoplace, and shouldbe
expected./n addition,the flails and fingers will be
noisyafter the engine is started, untilthe impeller
reaches furl speed.
STOPPING

USING YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER
A
WARNING:
Do not attempt to shred or
chip any matedal otherthan vegetation
found in a normal yard (i.e., branches,
leaves, twigs,etc.).
The chipper-shredderis designed for two
different methodsof operation.
a. Leaves and small branches up to 1/2"
diameter (maximum) can be fed intothe
hopperassembly when it is in the raisedor
lowered position.See figure 12.
b. Bulky material,such as stalksor heavy
branches,up to 3" in diameter shouldbe
fed intothe chipperchute. See figure 12.
A
WARNING:
Do not put material larger
than is specifiedinto the hopper, and/or into
the chipperchute. Personal injuryor
damage to the machinecould result.
If it becomes necessaryto pushmaterialintothe
chipper-shmdder,use a small diameter stick-
NOT YOUR HANDS. The stickshouldbe small
enoughthat itwill be ground up if it gets intothe
impellerassembly.
LOWER THE HOPPER
ASSEMBLY
To lowerthe hopper assembly, use one handto
grasp the hand-hold at the top of the hopper
assembly and lift slightly.See figure 5.
Pullup on the release bar, and lower the hopper
assembly to the ground.Release the bar. See
figure 5.
A
WARNING:
Never remove chute deflector
tillthe unit has completely stopped.Never
shut offthe engine until all chipping is
completed.
For best performance, it is important to keep the
shreddingblade and the chipper blades sharp. If the
