NOTE: You may hear a noise when reaching the
start of the compression cycle. This noise is caused
by the flails and fingers, which are part of the
shredding mechanism, falling into place, and should
be expected. In addition, the flails and fingers will be
noisy after the engine is started, until the impeller
reaches full speed.
7. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm
stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Let
rope rewind slowly. Do not let starter handle
snap back against starter.
8. Repeat instructions 6 and 7 until engine fires.
When engine starts, move choke control (if so
equipped) gradually to RUN position.
TO STOP ENGINE
1. To stop engine, move throttle control lever to
OFF position.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground to
prevent accidental starting while equipment is
unattended.
IMPORTANT: Open the large zipper to empty the
bag. Be certain the zipper is closed when operating
the unit. See Figure 7.

OPERATING THE CHIPPER
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. Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to
2" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.
See Figure 8.
Figure 8
WARNING: Material up to a maximum
of 2" in diameter may be fed into the
chipper chute. Do not attempt to shred
or chip any material larger than 2" in
diameter. Personal injury or damage to
the machine could result.
IMPORTANT: There is a flail screen located
inside the housing in the discharge area. If the flail
screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as
instructed in SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE. For best
performance, it is important to keep the chipper
blades sharp. Refer to SECTION 8:
MAINTENANCE. If the composition of the material
being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or
if the rate at which the material is discharged slows
down considerably, it is likely that the chipper blades
are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced.
SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Do not at any time make
any adjustment to the unit without first
stopping engine and disconnecting
spark plug wire.
FRONT CASTER WHEELS
Your chipper-shredder-vacuum is equipped with
front caster wheels. The casters can be locked in a
straight ahead position or position to swivel freely.
Lift and place pins in the larger holes for locked,
straight ahead operation. Place pins in smaller holes
to allow casters to rotate freely. See Figure 9. Lock
wheels in straight position when operating on slopes.
