ENGLISH
OPERATION
WARNING
Never
lean over the chipper chute to push objects into the
cutting device. Use a push stick or brush paddle.
Never
use shovels or forks to feed brush. They can
cause extensive damage if they contact the blades.
In addition, metal pieces can be ejected from the
chipper chute and cause serious injury or death.
Never
feed brush into the chute with your feet.
Never
use hands or feet to clear materials that build up in
the chute.
The engine/equipment may be operated during the warm
up period, but it may be necessary to leave the choke par
-
tially on until the engine warms up.
Upon start up, a metallic ticking may occur. This is caused
by the hydraulic lifter Ieakdown during storage. Run the
engine for 5 minutes. The noise will normally cease in
the first minute. If noise continues, run the engine at mid-
throttle for 20 minutes. If noise persists, take the engine to
your local authorized Subaru Engine Service Dealer.
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage
the starter but does not keep running (a false start), the
engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete
stop before attempting to restart the engine. If the starter
is engaged while the flywheel is rotating, the starter pinion
and flywheel ring gear may clash resulting in damage to
the starter.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off starter
immediately. Do not make further attempts to start the
engine until the condition is corrected. Do not jump start
using another battery. See your Honda Engine Service
Dealer for service assistance
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a
60-second cool down period between starting attempts.
Failure to follow these guidelines can permanently damage
the starter.
With a new drive belt, the rotor may rotate with the
engagement handle in START position. Within a short
period, the belt will relax and the rotor should disengage.
If the rotor does not disengage even after a short period,
check pulley alignment and idler mechanism or return to
your dealer for service. (See Section 5 for replacing the
drive belt).
4.5 OPERATION TIPS
5.
Once the engine is off and the disk has completely
stopped, the belt can be disengaged by moving the
belt engagement handle back to the
START
position.
