It may be helpful to become better acquainted with the features of your wood chipper before
beginning the steps outlined in this chapter.

Read and understand all instructions, safety precautions and/or warnings listed in "PART
•
I: General Safety Rules" before operating the WOOD CHIPPER. If you have any doubts or
questions about the correct or safe method to perform anything in this manual, please
contact the distributors in your area.
When operating the wood chipper, make sure you are standing in the safe operating
•
area (OPERATOR ZONE). You must remain in the safe operating area at all times when
the ram is in motion (either extending or retracting). Never place any part of your body
in a position that causes an unsafe operating condition.
Before loading and operating the wood chipper, always wear protective equipment,
•
including safety glasses, hearing protection, tight-fitting gloves without loose cords or
cuffs, and steel-toed shoes.

Reverse Start : Turn the power switch to the "On" position. Grab the recoil starter handle
•

the cable quickly to start the engine. One or two jerks usually start the engine.
Electric start: Turn and hold the key in the start position until you start the engine and
•
then let the key return to the operating position.
Move the choke control lever (if used for the cold engine) slowly back to the "RUN"

•
the engine at half acceleration for 3 to 4 minutes, then advance the engine throttle
control to maximum speed.
