STARTING THE WOOD CHIPPER
1. Position your Wood Chipper on flat, dry ground.
2. Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is in the “ON” position.
3. Move the choke control lever to the “CHOKE” position (should only be needed if the engine
is cold).
4. Move the throttle control lever to the “FAST” position.
5. RECOIL START: Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. Grasp the recoil starter handle
and slowly pull until you feel resistance. Let the cord retract a little bit then pull the cord
rapidly to start the engine. One or two pulls usually starts the engine.
6. ELECTRIC START: Turn and hold the key in the start position until the engine starts, then let
the key return to the run position.
7. Move the choke control lever (if used for cold engine), slowly back to the “RUN” position
when the engine is running well.
8. If the Wood Chipper has not been running (cold engine), warm up the engine by running
the engine at half throttle for 3 to 4 minutes, then advance the engine throttle control to the
maximum speed.
