OPERATION
Section
As with any other piece of outdoor equipment, getting the
feel for how your machine operates and getting to know
the best techniques for particular jobs are important to
overall good performance.
CHIPPING OPERATION
The chipping operation takes place on the front of the
machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are
mounted on a rotating rotor assembly. Material fed into
the chipper chute is sliced into small chips and propelled
out through a discharge tube.
SHREDDING OPERATION
In this operation, hardened steel shredder knives grind
up material fed into the shredder chute. The shredded
material then leaves the shredder area by traveling
through the discharge screen. The shredded material can
be diverted into a container or onto the ground.
WARNING
Move machine to a clear, level area outdoors before
starting. Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders.
Make sure cutting chamber is empty before starting.
WARNING
Before operating your machine, be sure you read
and understand all safety, controls and operating
instructions in this owner's manual and on your
machine. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury or property damage.
NOTE
FOR THE SPECIFIC STARTING, OPERATING AND
SERVICE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO YOUR
EXACT ENGINE MODEL, ALWAYS CONSULT THE
ENGINE OWNER'S MANUAL FIRST.
4.1 STARTING ENGINE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THIS MACHINE,
MAKE SURE THE BELT IS DISENGAGED AND THE
HANDLE IS IN THE "START" POSITION.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START MACHINE WITH THE
DRIVE BELT ENGAGED.
1. Check engine oil level before starting.
2. Place the throttle control midway between the SLOW
and FAST positions. Place the choke control into the
CHOKE position.
3. Place the chipper engagement lever in the START
position.
4. Use key switch/recoil to start the engine.
5. Move the clutch to the RUN position.
●
For a cold engine: gradually return the choke to the
OFF position after the engine starts and warms up.
●
For a warm engine: use of choke may not be
necessary for restart of a warm engine. If it is needed,
return choke to the OFF position once the engine
starts.
4.2 OPERATING THE CHIPPER
After the engine has been started and properly allowed
to warm to an operating temperature, you can begin
operating the chipper. To properly start and operate the
chipper, follow the steps below:
1. AFTER engine is warmed and ready for use, move
the throttle control back to approximately 25% of full
throttle.
2. When engine is running at approximately 25% of
full throttle, SLOWLY engage belt by using the belt
engagement lever.
DO NOT engage the belt with engine running at
high RPM.
Engaging belt while engine is running at high
RPM will result in significant belt squealing and
damage.
Engaging belt while engine is running at high
RPM can also damage vital drive components of
the chipper.
3. If the chipper engine stalls while engaging the belt,
return the engagement handle back to the START
position, restart engine, SLIGHTLY increase throttle
and attempt engagement again.
4. Once the belt is engaged, SLOWLY increase throttle
to 100% or full throttle.
5. ALWAYS run the chipper at 100% or full throttle when
chipping material.
