If the shredder screen becomes clogged, stop
the engine and pull the R clip from the pin that
protrudes under the belt guard near the front
support. Using the T grip below the chipper
tube, pull the pin out of the shredder screen.
Generally, this will cause the screen to open
downwards. If it is jammed, it can be gently
prised down using the shredder rod or a large
screwdriver.
DANGER:
DO
SHREDDER ASSEMBLY WITHOUT FIRST
DISCONNECTING THE SPARK PLUG LEAD
FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
8.
Once a jam is cleared, push the screen into
place and replace the pin. Note that the T grip
must be horizontal for the pin to go fully
through the screen. Replace the R clip.
9.
If the screen is blocking repeatedly when
shredding material such as wet leaves, try
mixing some dry material with the wet material
to scour the screen clear or use the (optional
extra) bar grate. See below.
10. After shredding "stringy" material such as
palm leaves, remove the shredder chute and
check that they have not wrapped tightly
around the ends of the rotor, inside the
chamber. If so, carefully remove them with a
flat screwdriver. Some varieties of palm
leaves can be cut in the chipper tube.
NOTE: If material that is wrapped around the
shaft is not removed, the shaft becomes hot
and "boils" the oil out of the shaft bearings.
The bearings will then fail.
11. USE OF (OPTIONAL EXTRA) BAR GRATE.
For shredding soft, bulky or wet material such
as weeds or vegetable matter, an optional bar
grate can be purchased. To fit the bar grate,
turn the engine off, remove the spark plug
lead and the belt guard. Pull out both R clips
securing the shredder mesh rods, remove the
rods and the mesh. Insert the bar grate from
below and insert the rods through the grate.
Reconnect the R clips, the belt guard and the
spark plug lead.
