4 Section 1: Safety

6. Handle fuel with саге. It is highly

flammable and has explosive vapors. Take

these precautions;

a. Use an approved fuel container.

b. Add fuel before starting engine. Never

remove fuel tank cap or add fuel while

engine is running or when engine is

hot. Operators shall not smoke.

c. Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars,

pipes, open fiâmes, and sparks away

from the fuei tank and fuei container.

d. Fiii fuel tank outdoors and with

extreme caution. Never fill fuel tank

when indoors. Use a funnel or spout

to prevent spillage.

e. Replace all fuel tank and fuel con

tainer caps securely.

f. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to

start engine, but move machine away

from area of spillage and avoid creat

ing any source of ignition until fuel

vapors have dissipated.

7. Never make adjustments to your equip

ment when the engine is running or spark

plug wire is connected (unless specifically

recommended in Owner’s Manual).

Operation

1. Secure the spark plug wire away from

the spark plug and remove any unpro

cessed material from inside the unit before

starting the unit.

2. Do not feed metal, rocks, bottles, nails,

cans, or any other foreign objects into the

chipper chute or shredder hopper. Pro

cess organic materials only!

3. Keep your face and body away from

shredder hopper and chipper chute.

4. Keep hands, feet, face and clothing

away from shredder hopper inlet, chip

per chute inlet, and discharge area to

avoid serious personal injury.

5. Keep hands and feet out of discharge

opening when machine is running.

Rotating cutting blades inside opening

will cause serious personal injury.

6. Do not put hands, feet, face or any

other part of your body or clothing near

chipper chute, shredder hopper or dis

charge area. The cutting blades begin to

rotate and build up speed once the engine

is running and continue to rotate for some

time after engine is stopped. Serious per

sonal injury will occur if contact with

blades is made while they are rotating.

Wait for all moving parts to stop

completely.

7. Do not use hands or feet to clear mate

rial from discharge area or discharge

opening.

8. Do not stand in front of discharge area

when operating unit. Material exits quickly

from discharge screen and discharge

opening and can cause serious personal

injury.

9. Do not allow chipped or shredded

material to build up in, or clog the dis

charge area — clogging prevents proper

discharge of materials and can result in

kickback of material up through the shred

der hopper or chipper chute. To remove

material from discharge area, first shut off

engine, allow all moving parts to stop

completely, and disconnect spark plug

wire and keep it from touching the plug.

Then USB a long-handled shovel or a

long stick. NEVER USE HANDS OR FEET

TO CLEAR MATERIAL FROM DISCHARGE

AREA OR DISCHARGE OPENINGI ROTAT

ING BLADES CUT 1/4-INCH FROM DIS

CHARGE SCREEN (OR BAR GRATE).

KEEP AWAYI NEVER PUT HANDS OR

FEET IN DISCHARGE AREA OR DISCHARGE

OPENINGI

10. Shut engine off immediately if unit

strikes a foreign object or develops an

unusual noise or vibration. When engine

is off and all moving parts have come to a

complete stop, disconnect spark plug wire

and keep it away from plug. Then proceed

as follows;

• V«*

a. Inspect for damage.

b. Remove all foreign objects.

c. Check for loose parts or hardware

and tighten if loose.

d. Replace or repair damaged parts

before starting engine.

11. Keep engine surfaces clean and free

of leaves, grass, oil, grease, or any other

combustible material to avoid fires and/or

engine damage.

12. If the unit jams or becomes clogged,

shut the engine off. jlKail U1ÜÍ1 all moving

parts have come lo a complelo stop.

(The bearing collar on the chipper chute

side of the unit has a white line painted

on It. When this whits line is stationary,

the cylinder assembly has stopped rotat

ing.) Disconnect spark plug wire and

prevent it from touching spark plug before

inspecting shredder hopper inlet, chipper

chute inlet, internal cutting chamber, dis

charge screen (or the optional bar grate)

and discharge area. Use a long wooden

stick (or a long-handled shovel) to clear

jammed material.

13. Keep all safety shields, guards,

screens, and deflectors properly secured

and in good condition. Do not operate

unit unless shredder hopper and chipper

chute are securely bolted in place and a

discharge screen (or optional bar grate)

is correctiy instailed in unit.

14. Processed material exits at high

speed from discharge opening. Keep

away from discharge opening and dis

charge area while operating unit.

15. Do not over-reach when feeding mate

rial into shredder hopper or chipper chute.

Always keep arms parallel to ground

while feeding material into shredder

hopper. Use the leaf tamper (supplied)

to push leaves down into shredder

hopper. When chipping, keep arms per

pendicular (at a 90° angle) to chipper

chute. Keep proper footing and good bai-

ance at all times.

16. Do not tamper with engine governor

settings on machine. The governor con

trols the maximum safe operating speed

and protects engine and all moving parts

from damage caused by overspeed. Con

tact your nearest authorized dealer if an

engine governor problem exists.

17. Do not transport or move unit while

engine is running.

18. Rotating cutting blades do not stop

for 20 - 30 seconds after engine has

been shut off. You can tell when the

rotating cylinder stops by watching the

white line on the cylinder bearing collar.

When this white line is stationary, the

cylinder has stopped rotating.

19. Take all possible precautions when

leaving machine unattended. Always stop

the engine. Disconnect the spark plug

wire and prevent it from touching the plug.

20. Never operate unit if you are tired or

under the influence of alcohol, drugs or

medication.

21. Do not touch hot muffler, cylinder,

fins or other engine parts which can causa
