DANGER: Your chipper-vacuu m was buil t to be ope rated acc ordin g to the rules for safe ope ratio n
in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This unit is capable of amputating fingers and hands and throwing objects. Fai lure to observe the fol lowing safety ins tructions could re sult in serious in jury or death.
1. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble this machine. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before operation. Be completely familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.
• Your chipper-vacuum is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been designed to perform two jobs; to chip and vacuum vegetation found in a normal yard. Do not us e it for any other purpose.
• Never allow children under 16 to operate the unit. Children 16 years and older should only operate under close parental supervision. Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use your unit.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Stop the engine when they are in the vicinity of the unit.
• When feeding material into this equipment, be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles, during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close fitting sla cks and shirt. Shirt and slacks that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry, and secure hair above shoulder length. They can be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals or sneakers. Wear gloves when feeding material in the chipper chute.
• Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Never place your hands or any part of your body or clothing near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times Never insert your hands or any part of your body or clothing into the nozzle, chipper chute or discharge opening as the rotating impeller can cause serious injury.
• If it is necessary for any reason to unclog the feed intake or discharge openings or to inspect or repair any part of the machine where a moving part can come in contact with your body or clothing, stop the machine, allow it to cool, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and move it away from the spark plug before attempting to unclog, inspect or repair.
• Never operate unit without vacuum bag and discharge chute properly affixed to unit. Large zippered end of bag must be closed to prevent objects from being blown out.
• Never operate unit without either the inlet nozzle or optional hose attachment properly affixed to unit. These devi ces shield the operat or from accidental contact with the rotating impeller. Never attempt to convert the unit from nozzle to hose mode or vice versa with the engine running.
• Never attempt to remove or empty vacuum bag when engine is running. Shut the engine off and wait for the impeller to come to a complete stop before removing the bag. The impeller continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the impeller area until you are sure the impeller has stopped rotating.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in place and operating properly.
2
• Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area as this will prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback from the chipper chute.
• Keep your face and body back from chipper chute to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and move the wire away from the spark plug. Allow the machine to stop and take the following steps.
• Inspect for damage
• Repair or replace any damaged parts.
• Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe operation.
• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.
• Do not allow leaves or other debris to build up on engine’s muffler. The debris could ignite and cause a fire.
• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over carburetor air intake is removed, except for adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.
2. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of small children. Children are often attracted to the chipping and vacuuming activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the area.
• Never allow children under the age of 16 to operate the chipper-vacuum.
3. SERVICE
• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
WARNING - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who
read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
• Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Never refuel unit indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or spark such as a gas hot water heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
• Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is a odorless, tasteless and deadly poisonous gas.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up. Clean up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the s park plug wire and keep wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean air filter.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• After striking a foreign object, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the unit for any damage. Repair damage before starting and operating unit.
• Do not alter or tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine. Overspeeding the engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to other moving parts of the machine.
• Check the vacuum bag frequently for wear. Replace if worn or damaged.
• Keep vacuum bag free of debris when not in use.
