4.8.6 UNPLUGGING:
Although the machine is designed to handle
a wide variety of material without any prob-
lem, occasionally it plugs. When the machine
plugs, follow this procedure to unplug:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children.
b. Stop the engine, remove the ignition key
and place it in your pocket and wait for all
moving parts to stop before unplugging.
c. Pull the material out of the feed hopper.
Be sure all the material is out and nothing
is jammed or wedged between the input
opening and the rotor.
d. Pull the material out of the discharge hood.
Use a stick to poke loose any material
jammed into the discharge hood. Do not
allow anything to remain in this area.
e. Check that everyone is clear of machine
before restarting engine.
f. Start the engine and resume working.
