SAFETY
1.1 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
The Owner/Operator’s manual uses this symbol to alert
you of potential hazards. Whenever you see this symbol,
read and obey the safety message that follows it. Failure
to obey the safety message could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor
power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that
burns gasoline or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). Therefore,
your power equipment must be equipped with a spark
arrester mufer in continuous effective working order. The
spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust
system in such a manner that ames or heat from the
system will not ignite ammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply
with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law
and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your
local re marshal or forest service for specic information
about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard mufer installed on the engine is not equipped
with a spark arrester. One must be added before using
this machine in an area where a spark arrester is required
by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to
you. See your authorized engine dealer for spark arrester
options.

OPERATION
As with any other piece of outdoor equipment, getting the
feel for how your machine operates and getting to know
the best techniques for particular jobs are important to
overall good performance.
CHIPPING OPERATION
The chipping operation takes place on the front of the
machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are
mounted on a rotating disk assembly. Material fed into the
chipper chute is sliced into small chips and propelled out
through a discharge tube.
WARNING
Before operating your machine, be sure you read and
understand all safety, controls and operating instructions
in this owner’s manual and on your machine. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious injury or
property damage.
WARNING
Move machine to a clear, level area outdoors before
starting. Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders.
Make sure cutting chamber is empty before starting.
4.1 STARTING ENGINE
4. Move lever to START position.
5. Turn the key to the START position. Release the key
as soon as the engine starts. Do not crank engine for
more than 10 seconds.
6. Move choke lever to OPEN position.
7. Once engine is running and no choke is needed, slowly
engage lever into the CHIPPING position. This will
engage the chipping disc.
8. If the engine kills when engaging the belt, either adjust
choke or increase engine RPM.
4.2 STOPPING ENGINE
1. Move throttle to slowest position.
2. Allow motor to idle for 1 minute.
3. Turn engine switch to OFF position.
4. Allow machine to come to a complete stop.
NOTE
The heavy rotor will continue to turn for some time after
the engine or tractor has been shut off. You can tell
that the rotor has stopped when no noise or machine
vibration is present. Inserting a branch into the chipper
chute to contact the blades will slow the rotor and
shorten stopping time.
1. Before starting, check levels of engine oil and fuel.
2. Place the throttle control midway between slow and
fast positions.
3. Move the choke lever to the ON position. When
restarting a warm engine after a recent shut down,
it may not be necessary to use a full choke. If the
engine fails to start, move the lever to OPEN or partial
choke.
IMPORTANT
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10
seconds. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 sec-
ond cool down period between starting attempts. Fail-
ure to follow these guidelines can damage the starter
motor. Do not jump start engine.

4.3 OPERATING THE CHIPPER
WARNING
Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual.
Failure to operate the machine in accordance with
the safety instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY!
Page 15
CAUTION
Obtain and wear safety glasses at all times when
operating the machine.
OPERATION
7. If the chipper jams, remove the branch and rotate it
before reinserting it into the chute. Alternately insert
and retract the limb or insert continuously at a rate that
will not kill the engine.
Do not wear loose tting clothing.
The operator should always wear heavy boots, gloves,
pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
Use common sense and practice safety to protect yourself
from branches, sharp objects, and other harmful
objects.
WARNING
Never lean over the chipper chute to push objects into the
cutting device. Use a push stick or brush paddle.
Never use shovels or forks to feed brush. They can
cause extensive damage if they contact the blades.
In addition, metal pieces can be ejected from the
chipper chute and cause serious injury or death.
Never feed brush into the chute with your feet.
Never use hands or feet to clear materials that build up in
the chute.
The machine chips a variety of materials into a more
readily decomposed or handled condition. The following
guidelines will help you get started.
8. Do not use the engagement lever to clear a plugged
rotor. This may cause belt damage. Refer to the
instructions for clearing a plugged rotor in the Service
and Maintenance section.
9. Alternate greener material with dry material to
lubricate the chipping blades for longer life and better
performance. Chipping dead, dry material will create
heat and dull the chipping blades quickly.
10. Sharpen the chipping blades periodically. Check
the sharpness of the blades every 5-15 hours. Refer
to the Service and Maintenance section for sharpening
instructions.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or property damage: shut
off engine and make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop before servicing, adjusting, or
repairing machine. Disconnect the battery and remove
ignition key where applicable.
ENGLISH
1. Run unit at full operating speed before starting to
chip material.
2. Limbs fed in to the chipper chute must be 5 inches
(12.7 cm) in diameter or less. Trim side branches that
cannot be bent enough to feed into the chipper chute.
Hold small diameter branches together in a bundle and
feed in simultaneously.
3. Exclude pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, and
other foreign objects when feeding material into the
machine.
4. Feed brush from the side of the chipper chute, rather
than from the front. Step aside to avoid being hit by the
brush moving into the chipper.
5. Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper chute
until it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed
rate of the limb into the chipper will depend on the type
of material fed and sharpness of the cutting blades.
6. If the engine slows to where it may stall, stop feeding
material and allow the engine to recover. Feed material
more evenly.

5.2 CHIPPER BLADE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The chipping blades are sharp! Use care when
working on machine to avoid injury.
The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making
chipping difcult and adding extra strain on the machine.
CHECK THE SHARPNESS OF THE BLADES EVERY
5 - 15 HOURS OF OPERATION AND SHARPEN AS
NEEDED.
Your blades need to be sharpened if:
• Machine vibrates severely when material is fed into the
chipper.
• Small diameter branches do not self-feed.
• Chips discharge unevenly or have stringy tails,
especially when chipping green branches.
Before you sharpen the chipping blades, check for
permanent damage. Replace the blade if:
• There are cracks, broken corners or nicks greater than
1/8" (see below).
5.3 REMOVING THE BLADES
To remove the chipper blades:
1. Remove the two 3/8" locking nuts that hold the access
cover (see Figure 5.1) to the main frame assembly.
Figure 5.1, Rotor access cover
2. Tilt access cover over to allow rotor access. Rotate
the rotor so that the bolts holding a chipping blade are
most accessible and lock rotor in place with lock pin.

5.4 SHARPENING THE BLADES
The blades can be ground on a bench grinder or by a
professional.
1. Never sharpen or grind the mounting surfaces of the
blades. This will cause the edge to roll and the blade will
be damaged, resulting in poor chipping performance.
2. Regrind the angled edge of the chipping blades to 45
degrees (Figure 5.3). Make sure some type of xture is
used to correctly hold the blade at the proper angle.
3. Be careful when grinding so that the blade does not
become overheated and change color. This will remove
the heat-treated properties.
4. Use short grinding times and cool with water or some
type of liquid coolant.

5. Remove an equal amount off each blade to maintain
rotor balance.
6. Small imperfections such as nicks and burrs on the at
side of the blade will not affect the chipping performance
of the machine.
7. For blades that have been repeatedly sharpened,
ensure that the sharpened surface extends past the
chipping slot opening. If it does not extend past the
opening, the blades should be replaced.
5.5 SETTING BLADE CLEARANCE
The chipping blades should clear the anvil by 1/16" to
1/8". Check the clearance every 8 hours of operation and
adjust if needed. The chipping anvil is reversible. All four
sides of the anvil can be used for chipping.
Figure 5.4, Chipping anvil location
To Adjust the Chipping Anvil:
1. Lift rotor access cover and expose rotor. Loosen the
two 1/2" bolts that hold the chipper anvil to the frame.
2. Measure the amount of clearance between chipping
blade and chipping anvil from inside of housing.
3. Adjust inward or outward to desired measurement.
4. Tighten bolts on chipping anvil to 75 ft-lbs. Make
sure all blades clear the anvil by 1/16" to 1/8" before
operating.
If the chipping anvil edge is damaged or worn unevenly,
remove the two bolts holding the anvil and use one of the
other three edges. Adjust for correct measurement.
5.6 ADJUSTING/REPLACING DRIVE BELT
Check the condition of the drive belt annually or after every
25 hours of operating, whichever comes first. If the belt is
cracked, frayed, or worn, replace it. To replace or adjust
drive belt, proceed as follows:
1. Shut off engine and disconnect spark plugs.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Remove belt guides on the engine.
4. Take the tension off the drive belt by moving the belt
engagement handle to the START postion and remove
the belt idler pulley assembly.

GERERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Crary Industries Inc. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that the equipment is:
Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations; and
Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure
of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as
described in Crary Industries Inc.’s application for certication.
The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser or rst placed into service. The warranty period is
two years.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the
warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. If the part fails during the period
of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by Crary
Industries Inc. according to subsection (4) below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder
of the period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the
warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted
for the period of time before the rst scheduled replacement date for
that part. If the part fails before the rst scheduled replacement, the
part will be repaired or replaced by Crary Industries Inc. according
to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the
rst scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the
warranty provisions herein must be performed at a warranty station at
no charge to the owner.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services
or repairs will be provided at all of our distribution centers that are
franchised to service the subject engines or equipment.
(6) The equipment owner will not be charged for diagnostic
labor that is directly associated with diagnosis of a defective, emissionrelated warranted part, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
(7) Crary Industries Inc. is liable for damages to other engine or
equipment components proximately caused by a failure under warranty
of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the equipment warranty period stated above,
Crary Industries Inc. will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufcient
to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(9) Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any
warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge
to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of Crary
Industries Inc.
(10) Add-on or modied parts that are not exempted by the EPA
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modied
parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a
warranty claim. Crary Industries Inc. will not be liable to warrant failures
of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or
modied part.
WARRANTED PARTS:
The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for
warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty coverage
if Crary Industries Inc. demonstrates that the equipment has been
abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that such abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for
repair or replacement of the part. That notwithstanding, any adjustment
of a component that has a factory installed, and properly operating,
adjustment limiting device is still eligible for warranty coverage. The
following emission warranty parts are covered:
(1) Fuel Tank
(2) Fuel Cap
(3) Fuel Line
(4) Clamps
(5) Vapor Hose
