Section 4: Operation

4. Push the rocker ON/OFF switch (Figure

3-8) to the ON position.

5. Squeeze the clutch lever (Figure 3-5)

up against the handle. Grasp the engine

starter rope handle and pull slowly until

resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to

overcome compression, prevent kickback

and start engine. Let the rope rewind

gradually. Repeat if necessary with choke

off.

6. After the engine starts, first open the

choke (toward RUN position) until the

engine just begins to run smoothly. Then,

open the choke in small steps, allowing

the engine to accept small changes in

speed and load, until the choke is fully

open (in RUN).

NOTE; The cutting blades may begin to

turn slowly even if the clutch lever is held

in the up position.

7. SLOWLY release the clutch lever. If

the engine stalls, restart it and allow It to

warm up for a longer period before releas

ing the clutch lever.

8. When the engine is running, the cut

ting biades inside the unit wiii rotate at a

fast speed. As the biades begin to

rotate, you wiii hear the biades “ciatter-

ing” untii they buiid up speed.

A DANGER

Rotating cutting blades inside

chipper^hredder chamber are in motion

once engine is started. Contact with

cutting blades will cause severe per

sonal injury.

Keep hands, feet, face and ciothing out

of chipper chute iniet, shredder hopper

iniet and discharge opening. Also keep

a safe distance away from discharge

area and aii moving parts when unit is

running.

TO STOP

1. Push rocker ON/OFF switch (Rgure 3-8)

to OFF position.

LISTEN — Remove any hearing protection

and listen to the sound of the unit as it

slows down. There is a definite audible

tone that changes as the cylinder assem

bly slows down—the shredder blades will

begin “clattering” as they slow, then will

become silent. Wait for all parts to come

to a complete stop. Allow 20-to-30 sec

onds after the engine is shut off for the

parts to stop moving.

LOOK — The bearing collar on the chipper

chute side of the unit has a white line

painted on it (Figure 4-2). When this

white line is stationary, the cylinder

assembly has stopped rotating.

2. Turn fuel shut-off valve (if equipped) to

OFF position.

EMERGENCY ENGINE STOPPING

If the engine rocker ON/OFF switch does

not stop the engine, move the engine

choke lever to the CHOKE position.

After stopping the engine with the choke

controi lever, be sure that the shut-off

problem is diagnosed and repaired before

starting the engine. Regularly using the

choke control lever to shut the engine off

could damage the engine.

A DANGER

Rotating cutting biades siow down grad-

uaiiy after engine is shut off. Biades

normaiiy require 20-30 seconds to stop.

Contact with rotating cutting biades wiii

cause serious personai injury.

Keep hands, feet, face, and ciothing out

of chipper chute iniet, shredder hopper

iniet and discharge opening. Aiso keep

a safe distance away from discharge

area and aii moving parts when unit is

running.

collar (Chipper Chute removed for clarity).

USING THE CHIPPER/SHREDDER

SOME MATERIALS SHOULD BE

SHREDDED, OTHERS SHOULD BE

CHIPPED. HERE’S HOW TO DECIDE

WHICH METHOD TO USE:

To enjoy the greatest benefits from the

unit, it is important to know which materi

als are best fed into the shredder hopper

and which ones are best fed into the chip

per chute. Use the following information

as a guide. iMPORTANT: Refer to Using

the Shredder and Using the Chipper m this

Section of the Manual for detailed operat

ing instructions.

* •

Do not food the following materials

Into the shredder hopper or the chipper

chute:

• Metal • Glass • Bottles

• Plastic • Cans • Rocks/Stones

• Other Non-organic Foreign Objects

IMPORTANT: Do not allow processed

material to build up beneath or beside

the unit to the point where it contacts

the discharge screen. If material

cannot freely exit the discharge screen,

it will continue to circulate within the

processing chamber. This leads to

clogs and the possibility of some of the

material being “blown” back up

through the hopper.

If shredded material builds up beneath

the unit, do not attempt to remove it

until the engine is stopped, the spark

plug wire is disconnected and moved

away from the spark plug, and all

moving parts have come to a complete

stop. Use a long stick or long-handled

shovel to remove the material. Never

use your hands or feet to remove

material!
