6. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the Choke lever is in the CHOKE position,
move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
Note:
Moving the Choke Lever too
fast could stall the engine.
IMpORTANT:
Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes
after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.
7. Adjust the Throttle as needed.
Break-in period:
a. Breaking-in the engine will help to ensure proper equipment and engine operation.
b. The operational break-in period will last about 3 hours of use. During this period:
• Do not apply a heavy load to the equipment.
• Do not operate the engine at its maximum speed.
c. The maintenance break-in period will last about 20 hours of use.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows
the schedule explained in the MAINTENANCE section.
Chipping and Shredding
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not force the Chipper/Shredder. Branches cannot be
thicker than 1/2" for Hopper and branches cannot be thicker than 3" for Chipper Chute.
Do not force branches into machine. The Chipper/Shredder is designed to draw material at the proper rate.
Never use your hands to feed material directly into the Shredder.
If needed, use a stick to push the material into the Shredder.
1. Without putting your hands into Shredder (on top), slowly
drop material into the Hopper (one branch at a time). The
machine will pull the material in automatically.
2. The Chipper Chute is located on the side of the unit;
only feed one branch in at a time, larger end first.
3. Material discharges from the discharge port at
high speed. Make sure the Discharge Bag is
properly attached before use. Do not operate the
Chipper/Shredder without the Discharge Bag in place.
4. Do not allow Discharge Bag to overfill with processed
material. This may prevent proper discharge and can result
in kickback of material. Empty bag periodically as needed.
Note:
Should Chipper/Shredder jam during use, immediately turn
off the Engine. Wait until the machine completely stops. Disconnect
the Spark Plug. Clear the jam in the machine by shifting the
material with a long stick. Then, resume operation.
