Part III: Operating the Wood Chipper

PART III: Operating the Wood Chipper

It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your  Wood Chipper
before beginning the steps outlined in this chapter.

 

WARNING

A.

Read and understand all instructions, safety precautions, and/or warnings listed in 

“PART I: General Safety Rules” before operating the WOOD CHIPPER. If any doubt 
or question arises about the correct or safe method of performing anything found in this

manual, please contact the dealers in your area.

B.

 When operating the Wood Chipper, make sure you are standing in the safe operating 

area (OPERATOR ZONE). You must stay in the safe operating area at all times when 
the chipper is in operation. Never place any part of your body into a position that causes

an unsafe operating condition.

C.

Before loading and operating the Wood Chipper, always wear protective gear, including 

safety goggles, hearing protection, tight-fitting gloves without draw strings or loose 
cuffs, and steel-toed shoes.

D.

Know the correct and incorrect methods of Chipping woods. Never using an incorrect 
or unsafe method.

Starting

1.

Position your Wood Chipper on flat, dry ground and then lower and lock in place the
foot plate to stabilise the machine. Make sure the machine cannot be moved.

2.

Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is in the “ON” position.

3.

Move the choke control lever to the “CHOKE” position (should only be needed if the
engine is cold).

4.

Move the throttle control lever to the “FAST” position.

5.

Turn the  Ignition Switch to  the “On” position.  Grasp the recoil starter handle and
slowly pull until you feel resistance. Let the cord retract a little bit then pull the cord
rapidly to start the engine. One or two pulls usually starts the engine.

6.

Move   the   choke   control   lever  (if   used   for   cold   engine)   slowly   back   to   the  “RUN”
position when the engine is running well.

7.

If   the  Wood   Chipper  has   not   been   running   (cold   engine),   warm   up   the   engine  by
running the engine at half throttle for 3 to 4 minutes, then advance the engine throttle
control to the maximum speed.

Stopping

1.

Move the Throttle Lever to IDLE.

2.

Turn the Ignition Switch to the OFF position.
