Mulching Operation
For mulching, follow the guidelines given on page 15.
• If mulching wet material the discharge chute should point fully down. A hosepipe can be put into the feed
hopper and running water used to help wet material feed in more easily.
• Do not feed the mulcher any foreign materials (stones, metal, plastic, string, textile etc.)
• The mulcher can be used to chop paper, cardboard, cartons, etc. Ensure all staples and tape are removed.
• If the machine blocks while mulching, see the instructions for removing a blockage on page 15.
Mulcher Accessory (Sold Separately)
An accessory to allow the mulching of green material, garden waster, kitchen waste, cardboard, etc, can be
purchased separately. Fitting this accessory is just a matter of removing the discharge chute and swapping
blanking plates.
Remove 2 nuts(29) and 2 washers(28), keep these as they are needed to attach the mulcher chute. Hinge
the discharge chute up and withdraw the flange from under the bolt. Remove the lower blanking plate and
keep the 2 bolts(42) for re-attaching the chipper discharge chute.
