Operation
Changing the Feed and Discharge Angles
To slow down or speed up the feed rate, or to alter the discharge angle, the drum housing can be rotated
to change the angle of the feed hopper and the discharge chute. The drum housing can be rotated by a
maximum of 40 degrees.
Loosen the 3 nuts shown, just sufficiently
until the drum housing is free to rotate. DO
NOT remove the nuts.
Rotate the drum housing to the required angle
then tighten the nuts. To rotate the drum housing,
necessary to loosen the bolts, tap them through by
1 or 2mm, the square shoulder of the coach bolts
must remain located in the slots in the back plate.

Cleaning after Mulching
If you have been working with wet material - you may wish to wash down the machine using a hosepipe.
To perform this simply spray water down into the hopper feed while the engine is running. After you have
finished hosing the mulcher down - leave the engine running for a few minutes to allow the machine to dry
itself off.
Cleaning after Chipping
You can clean the machine after chipping in the same way but you must remember to remove the lower
blanking plate before spraying water down, in order for the water to drain out.
