Break-in Period:
Breaking-in the Engine will help to
1.
ensure proper equipment and Engine
operation, and will extend the En-
gine’s lifespan. The warranty is void
if the Engine is not broken in properly.
The first 20 hours of operation is the
break-in period.
During the first 3 hours of use:
2.
Do not apply a heavy load to the
•
equipment.
Do not operate the Engine at its
•
maximum speed.
After the first 20 hours of use:
3.
Change the engine oil.
•
Under normal operating conditions
subsequent maintenance follows the
schedule explained in the MAINTE-
NANCE AND SERVICING section.
Equipment Operation
using the Shredder Hopper:
The Tow-Behind Shredder can pro-
1.
cess dry or green organic material.
Green material will process easier
and faster than dry material. Soft
wood processes easier than hard
wood. Rotating the branch as you
feed it into the machine will improve
performance.
The Shredder Hopper (85) is located
2.
at the top of the machine and is the
opening into which all materials to be
shredded should be fed.
(See Figure Y.)
