WARNING
WARNING: The operation of any chipper shredder can result in for-
eign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes
severely. Always wear the safety glasses provided with this unit or
eye shields before chipping or shredding and while performing any
adjustments or repairs.
Always use the proper personal safety equipment before starting this
machine:
1.
Ear protection
2.
Gloves
3.
Eye protection
Add Gasoline and Oil
Step 1: Add gasoline
Step 2: Add approximately 1.1 quarts of 10W-30 oil (5W-30 is recommended
for cold weather climate) until the oil is about to overflow from the oil fill
spout. A low oil sensor will prevent the engine from running unless the oil is
COMPLETELY FULL.
Ensure both oil fill plugs on the engine are secure after
filling.
WARNING
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors with engine running or until
the engine has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes after
running.
Starting the Engine
Step 3: Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on
the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark
plug.
Step 4: Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may
not require choking).
Step 5: Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
Step 6:
Recoil start:
Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until en-
gine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this
point). Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on
starter handle. Let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat the previous steps until
engine fires. Do not pull for more than 4 times between intervals.
Step 7: Electric start: Follow Step 3 to Step 5, then plug any 120V outdoor
extension cord into the 120V Extension Cord Connection (See Figure 6) , and
then push the Red Starter Button to start the engine. Do not run starter more
than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds On / 5 seconds Off.
Step 8: When engine starts, move choke control gradually to the RUN posi-
tion. (See Figure 7)
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, and it should be expected until the impeller reaches full speed.

Using the Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up and placed in the funnel
assembly for shredding. DO NOT PUT BRANCHES INTO THE TOP FUN-
NEL. BRANCHES SHOULD BE FED INTO THE SIDE CHIPPER CHUTE.
If using the side chipper chute to chip branches, it is important to let
the chipper feed the branches through automatically. DO NOT at-
tempt to force the branches through. If the branches do not automati-
cally feed through, gently push the branch and then allow the chipper
to automatically feed the branch through. Forcing branches into the
side chute may wear the belt prematurely.
After the material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller
assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into chip catcher bag.
Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a
normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as
tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up
to 4" in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing in the discharge
area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed. For
best performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
To Empty the Chip Bag
Stop the engine.
Release the drawstring and remove the bag from the discharge chute.
Empty bag and reattach to the discharge chute opening.
