Inspect for damage.

Repair or replace any damaged parts.

Check for any loose parts and tighten to
assure continued safe operation.

• Never attempt to attach or remove catcher bag

when engine is running. Shut the engine off and
wait for the impeller to come to a complete stop.
The impeller continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of
the body in the impeller area until you are sure the
impeller has stopped rotating. 

• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a

burn. Do not touch. 

• Do not allow leaves or other debris to build up on

engine's muffler. The debris could ignite and cause
a fire.

• Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than

specified in this manual. Personal injury or damage
to the machine could result.

• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over

carburetor air intake is removed, except for
adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a
fire hazard.

• Only use accessories approved for this machine by

the manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with the approved accessory.

• If situations occur which are not covered by this

manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your
dealer for assistance.

• Keep discharge chute deflector, chipper chute

door, and all other guards and safety devices in
place and operating properly.

• Only operate unit in good daylight. Do not operate

unit at night or in dark areas where your vision may
be impaired. 

2.  CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of small children. Children are often attracted to
the chipper-shredder and the chipping and shredding
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them. 

• Keep children out of the work area and under the

watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the
operator.

• Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the

area.

• Never allow children under the age of 16 to operate

the chipper-shredder.

3.  SERVICE

• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.

• Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away

from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of
children. Check and add fuel before starting the
engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least two
minutes before refueling.

• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any

spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may
cause a fire or explosion.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

• Never refuel unit indoors because flammable

vapors will accumulate in the area.

• Never store the machine or fuel container inside

where there is an open flame or spark such as a
gas hot water heater, space heater, clothes dryer
or furnace.

• Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the

exhaust from the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless and
deadly poisonous gas.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free

of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up. Clean
up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5
minutes before storing.

• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make

certain the impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep
wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental
starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean
air filter.

• Check the blade and engine mounting screws at

frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also visually
inspect blades for wear and/or damage (e.g., bent,
cracked). Replace with blades which meet original
equipment specifications.

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly.

• After striking a foreign object, immediately stop the

engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the
spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the unit for any
damage. Repair damage before starting and
operating unit.

• Do not alter or tamper with the engine's governor

setting. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine. Overspeeding the
engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the
engine and to other moving parts of the machine.

WARNING - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: 

Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who

read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
