Moving Parts

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you follow all the rules in this book, the unit is safe to operate.

The chipper/shredder has spinning blades that can amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running! Do not place hands or feet in the hopper or chipper cone, or discharge chute.

Safety Rules and Information

Thrown Objects

This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear protective goggles and do not operate without the debris bag in place. Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to starting work.

Fuel and Maintenance

Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.

Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.

2. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the unit before starting.

2. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can restrict operator age).

4. Be sure the area is clear of other people before operating. Stop the unit if anyone enters the area.

5. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator.

6. Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

7. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

8. Always wear eye and hearing protection when operating this unit.

9. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property.

10. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on or near any forestcovered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

11. Always operate the chipper/shredder outdoors, on a firm, level, earthen or grassy surface where the unit will be stable and stay in position. Never attempt to operate the unit on a slope, or on a wet or slippery surface where you could slip and fall toward the chipper cone or hopper openings.

12. Never operate the chipper/shredder on asphalt, concrete, or other hard surfaces as material being ejected out of the discharge chute could ricochet, causing injury to you or bystanders.

13. Always obey the size limitations for tree limbs and branches stated in the Waste Materials Guide portion of this manual.

14. Never leave the machine running unattended. Always

turn off the engine, wait for the rotor to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug before leaving the area. Always move the unit to a safe storage area when not in use.

15. Always maintain secure footing and solid balance while starting or operating the chipper/shredder. Never lean directly over the machine.

16. Always stand to the side of the chipper cone when feeding tree limbs and branches into the unit, as tree limbs, branches, and harder woods may kick back while being chipped.

17. Always keep hands out of the chipper cone and shredder hopper when feeding materials. Never wrap fingers tightly around branches as you are feeding them into the unit, as a sudden inward surge could pull your hands and arms into the unit.

18. Never allow material to build up in the discharge area or shredding chamber, as this may cause new material being fed into the machine to kickback with sufficient force to injure you or other bystanders.

19. Never allow material to build up around the engine during chipper/shredder operation. This could result in a fire, or overheating of the engine.

20. Never attempt to reposition or move the chipper/ shredder unit while it is running. Doing so could cause the machine to tip over, and reaching to steady the unit could result in accidental insertion of your hands into the chipper cone or shredder hopper areas.

21. Never continue to operate the machine if it starts making unusual noise or vibration. Shut the engine off immediately, allow the rotor to stop, disconnect the spark plug wire and secure the wire away from the spark plug. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage or foreign material in the chipping or shredding areas. Remove any solid material that may be preventing the unit from operating properly.

22. Never attempt to clear clogs from the chipper cone, shredder hopper or discharge chute while the unit is running. Always shut the engine off, allow the rotor to come to a complete stop, and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug before removing excess materials.

23. Never attempt to perform any maintenance, repairs, or attachment of accessories while the unit is running. Always shut the unit off, allow the rotor to come to a complete stop, and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug before beginning these activities.

24. Always make sure that the shredding chamber, shredder hopper, and chipper cone are empty before starting the unit after it has been idle. Attempting to start the unit with material in these areas could cause the engine starting cord to stop suddenly, injuring your hand and fingers, or toppling the unit over. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.

25. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the engine and make certain that all moving parts have

Operation

General Operating Safety

Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this unit. Become familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.

Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metalto-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-hammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This is normal. If this sound continues after the machine has reached full speed, contact your dealer for an inspection of the unit. Overloading the equipment will shorten its life, and can cause mechanical failures.

Chipper Operation

The chipper is designed to handle tree limbs and branches up to approximately 3” (7,6 cm) in diameter. The chipping knives also permit the processing of course organic matter like corn stalks. Tree branches must be inserted large-end first into the chipper cone. Since occasional kick-backs may occur, always stand off to the side of the unit. Allow the selffeeding action of the unit to draw the sticks in.

Shredder Operation

The shredder is designed to shred light brush, leaves, and other soft but bulky organic waste. As material is loaded into the shredder hopper it is pulled into the path of the triangular and J-hammers by air flow.

Vacuum Attachment (Optional)

In addition to the chipper cone and hopper, loose debris may be processed by the Vacuum hose adapter kit. Leaves

DANGER

The exhaust from this product contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, orderless, and tasteless gas that can cause dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness, or even brain damage and death if inhaled for prolonged periods.

Operate the unit outdoors in a well ventilated location only. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Adding Fuel

Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than 10% ETHANOL, gasoline additives, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury from rotating cutting blades, keep hands out of inlet while machine is running.

may be raked directly into the leaf tray where vacuum action will draw them into the shredder. For hard-to-reach areas, the nozzle and hose assembly may be used. The strength of the Vacuum may be changed using the rotating sleeve on the nozzle. (See Vacuum Kit parts explosion on page 28.)

Operating Location

Select an area with firm, level ground, covered by dirt or grass. Do not operate on wet or slick surfaces, or near bystanders. Locate and organize the materials to be processed so that you don’t have to walk in front of the inlet or discharge openings, and so you have adequate room to work safely.

1-800-345-6007

To add fuel:

1. Remove the fuel cap (see Figure 1).

2. Fill the tank. Do not overfill. Leave room in the tank for fuel expansion. Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel recommendations.

Chipping & Shredding Recommendations

Operation

Operation Type of Waste

Permitted

Shredding Dry or moist organic material

including leaves, plants, flowers, fruits, or vegetables.

Chipping Long, thicker tree limbs or

small bunches of smaller sticks grouped together for ease of handling.

Vacuum Attachment

Light, loose, dry waste such as leaves, grass clippings, or sawdust.

Size Limitations Notes

Branches and twigs up to 1/2” diameter and 18” long.

Tree limbs and branches, or bundles of small sticks grouped for easier handling. Maximum diameter of approximately 3” (7,6 cm).

Small materials that will not obstruct the vacuum hose.

Alternately chip or shred moist green waste with dry waste to avoid plugging of the discharge chute.

Process at a feeding rate that allows the rotor to keep up and maintain a high rate of speed.

Bulky tree limbs should be pruned close to the main stem. Always use a shorter piece of wood to push end pieces into the chipper cone. Never place hands in the chipper cone.

Never chip very hard or dry materials such as kiln dried dimensional lumber (2x4’s etc.) or other building materials.

Never use the chipper to process pressuretreated wood products.

The vacuum is engineered for small, loose waste and for cleaning around decorative landscaping and flower beds. Twigs, wet leaves, and other bulky materials will clog the hose or obstruct the shredding chamber.

Storage

Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps:

 • Performenginemaintenanceandstoragemeasures

listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see warning).
