FEATURES & CONTROLS
Understanding how your machine works will help you achieve the best results when using your chipper. The following
descriptions define the features and controls of your machine.
REFER TO ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
1. SHREDDER CHUTE
Materials no larger than 3/4" (1.9 cm) in diameter
are fed through the shredder chute to the shredder
knives.
2. CHIPPER CHUTE
Materials no larger than 3" (7.6 cm) to be chipped are
fed through the chipper chute to the chipper blades.
3. ENGINE THROTTLE
This controls the speed of the engine. Increase the
throttle by moving the lever to the FAST position. To
decrease the throttle, move the lever to the SLOW
position.
4. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must
be in the disengaged (UP) position. With the engine
at 1/4 throttle, carefully engage the rotor by slowly
pushing the engagement handle down, allowing the
rotor to speed up gradually. Engaging the chipper too
quickly with the engine at full or half throttle will bog
down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt.
