Figure 11

NOTE: Do not overfill. Oil bottle packed with unit

contains 20 oz. of oil.

Gasoline

Warning: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine while instorage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain
the gas tank, start the engine and let itrun until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See STORAGE instructions for
additional information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

Fill gas tank withgas as follows.

• Remove fuel cap. See figure 10.

• Make sure the container (from which you will

pour the gasoline) is clean and free from rust or
foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may
be stale from long periods of storage inthe

container.

• Fill fuel tank with fresh, lead-free gasoline. DO

NOT use Ethyl or high octane gasoline.Replace

fuel cap.

WARNING:Do not fill closer than 1/2 inch

oftop of fuel tank to prevent spills and to
allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline is
accidently spilled, move chipper-shredder
away from area of spill. Avoid creating any

source of ignition untilgasoline vapors have

disappeared.

Check the fuel level periodically to avoid
running out of gasoline while operating the

chipper-shredder.

If the unit runs out of gas as it is shredding or

chipping, it may be necessary to unclog the unit

before it can be restarted. Refer to Removing

the Flail Screen in SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENT section.

STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure no one other than

the operator is standing near the chipper-

shredder while starting or operating. Do not
operate this chipper-shradder unless the

discharge chute has been properly installed
and is secured with the hand knobs.

NOTE: To prevent the unit from sliding, place your

foot firmly against the tire.

Attach spark plug wire and rubber boot to spark
plug. See figure 12.

1. Attach spark plug wire

2. Place Throttle
in Fast Position

• Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope
return to starter slowly. See figure 12.

• When engine starts, move throttle control to

IDLE position for a few minutes warm-up.

NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of

the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the
flails and fingers which are part of the shredding
mechanism falling intoplace, and should be
expected. In addition, the flailsand fingers will be
noisy after the engine is started, until the impeller

reaches furlspeed.

STOPPING ENGINE

• Move throttlecontrol lever to STOP position

(DOWN).

• Disconnect spark plugwire and move away from
spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

USING YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER

WARNING: Do not attempt to shred or
chipany material other than vegetation

found in a normal yard (i.e., branches,
leaves, twigs, etc.).

The chipper-shredder is designed for two different

methods of operation.

a. Leaves and small branches up to 1/2"

diameter (maximum) can be fed intothe
hopper assembly when it is inthe raised or
lowered position. See figure 13.

b. Bulky material, such as stalks or heavy

branches, up to3" in diameter can be fed
intothe chipper chute. See figure 13.

3. Prime 3 times

Figure 12

• Place the throttle control lever in FAST position

(UP).

• Push primer 2 or 3 times, waiting a couple of
seconds between each push. In cold weather

(50°F or below) prime 5 times.

• Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly
until engine reaches start of compression cycle
(rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let

the rope rewind slowly.

4. Pull rope

WARNING: Do not put material larger
than is specified into the hopper or the

chipper chute. Personal injuryand/or
damage to the machine could result.

If it becomes necessary to push material intothe

chipper-shredder, use a small diameter stick-- not

your hands, The stick should be small enough that it
will be ground up ifit gets intothe impeller assembly.

WARNING: Never remove discharge
chute till the unithas completely stopped.

Never turn off the engine until all
chipping is completed,

For best performance, it is important to keep the

shredding blade and the chipper blades sharp.

If the composition of the material being discharged
changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate at which
the material is discharged slows down considerably, it
is likely that the shredding blade and/or chipper

10

blades are dull and need to be sharpened or
replaced. To sharpen or replace the blades, refer to

Service and Adjustments section.
IMPORTANT: There isa flail screen located inside

the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen
becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in

the Service and Adjustments section on page 14.

WARNING: The chipper-shredder discharges materials with considerable velocity. Keep away from

the area around the discharge chute. Always stop the engine and disconnect spark plug wire when

removing or attaching the bag, changing containers, or removing the shredded material. Wear safety
glasses and gloves whenever using your chipper-shredder.

ADJUSTING CARBURETOR

WARNING: Ifany adjustmentsare made to
the engine while the engine isrunning(e.g.

carburetor),keep clear of all moving parts.
Be carefulofheated surfaces and muffler.

The carburetor has been pre-set at the factory and
should not require adjustment. However, if your
engine does not operate properly due to suspected

carburetor problems, take your chipper-shredder to
your nearest SEARS service center.

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed on yourchipper-shredder has been
set at the factory. Do not attempt to increase engine
speed or it may result in personal injury. If you believe
the engine is running too fast or too slow, take your

chipper-shredder to the nearest SEARS service
center for repair and adjustment.

15

WARNING: Never store machine with fuel

A

A yearly check-up by your local Sears service center
is a good way to make certain your chipper-shredder
will provide maximum performance for the next

season.

in the fuel tank inside of building where

fumes may reach an open flame or spark,

or where ignition sources are present such
as hot water and space heaters, furnaces,

clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.

CHIPPER-SHREDDER

Clean the chipper-shredder thoroughly.

Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust (use a

lightoil or silicone).

ENGINE

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during

storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation ofacids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it rununtil the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products

inthe fuel tank or permanent damage may

Occur,

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable a/temative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.

• Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank orstorage
container.

• Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.

• Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the
carburetor.

• Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer. Drain all the oil from the crankcase

(this should be done after the engine has been

operated and is stillwarm) and refill the
crankcase with fresh oil.

• If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the

inside of the engine as follows.

• Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2
ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine

oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.

• Replace spark plug.

OTHER

Do not store gasoline from one season to

another.

Replace your gasoline can ifyour can starts to
rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause

problems. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not

store next to corrosive materials, such as

fertilizer.

NOTE: Ifstoring in an unventilated or metal storage
shed, be certain torustproof the equipment by coating
with a light oil or silicone.
