5 INCH CHIPPER/SHREDDER/BLOWER
ENGLISH
OPERATION
NEVER disengage the belt as part of the stopping or
shut down process. The belt should remain engaged
during the entire shutdown process.
Leaving the belt engaged is a vital part of proper
shutdown and ensures the rotor stops spinning in
conjunction with the engine shutting off.
TO PROPERLY SLOW DOWN AND STOP
THE ROTOR AND ENGINE
1. With the belt still engaged, slowly move the throttle to
the SLOW position with the belt still engaged.
2. Allow the engine to run at slow idle for 30-60 seconds.
3. Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the STOP
position or turning off the ignition switch.
4. Allow rotor to come to a complete stop.
5.
Once the engine is off and the rotor has completely
stopped, the belt can be disengaged by moving the
belt engagement handle back to the START position.
The rotor will continue to turn for some time after the
engine has been shut off. Make sure rotor has stopped
completely before inspecting or servicing machine.
NOTE
4.4 SHREDDER ADJUSTER
The size of shredded materials produced by the machine
can be regulated with the shredder adjuster lever. Move
the lever up for a smaller shredded product. Move it down
for a larger shredded product.
