C
Shredding (Fig. 1) - Cont.
Observe the following guidelines when shredding yard debris:
• Never attempt to shred material other than normal yard debris (leaves, twigs, pine
cones, etc.).
• Avoid shredding excessively wet leaves or fibrous material. Wet material may result
in a clogged hopper.
• Place reasonable amounts of debris into the hopper at a time. DO NOT overload the
hopper.
• Allow the material in the hopper to be drawn into the blades and shredded before
adding additional debris to the hopper. Failure to do so may result in a clogged
hopper, clogged chute deflector or a stalled engine.
• Avoid placing twigs longer than 24" (0.6 m) into the hopper. Twigs longer than 24"
(0.6 m) may result in a clogged hopper.
D
Clearing Clogged Hopper (Fig. 1)
Should the hopper become clogged with debris during operation, proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the handle (2) with both hands and gently agitate the chipper shredder to
help loosen debris, drawing it into the impeller.
If the clog does not clear, proceed as follows:
Stop engine. Refer to Stop Engine paragraph under Start-up.
2.
WARNING
3. Use your hands to remove any debris found near the top of the hopper.
4. Use a branch (or other available device, i.e. broomstick) to dislodge debris located
toward the base of the hopper.
5. Restart engine. Refer to Start Engine paragraph under Start-up.
NOTE: If you're unable to pull the starter rope as a result of accumulated debris
near the impeller, follow instructions under the heading Cleaning the Impeller
Housing in the Maintenance & Adjustments section of this manual.
