WARNING

CAUTION

SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don't follow instructions.

2. Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing. Never operate this machine wearing loose clothing particularly if it has drawstrings which could wrap around or get caught in the machine.

3. Operate the machine only on a level surface. Do not operate the machine on a paved, concrete, or hard gravel surface. Operating on a hard surface may cause discharged material to rebound and kickback. It will also cause increased machine vibration. Increased vibration may cause the machine to move and will promote premature wear of parts or loosening of fasteners.

4. Before starting the machine, visually check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners are properly secured. Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners every 10 hours of operation for proper tightness to insure everything is in proper working condition.

Operation

1. Before starting the machine, make certain that the cutting chamber is empty.

Before Operating

1. Become familiar with the owner's manual before attempting to operate this equipment. See engine owner's manual for additional safety information.

2. Do not allow children to operate this equipment.

3. Do not operate this equipment in the vicinity of bystanders.

4. Carbon monoxide can be extremely dangerous in enclosed areas; do not run the machine in an enclosed area. The exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

5. Do not allow hands (or any part of body or clothing) inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part.

6. Before inspecting or servicing any part of the machine, shut off the engine, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop.

Preparation

1. Wear safety glasses at all times while operating the machine. One pair of safety glasses is provided with each chipper.

2. When feeding chipable material into the machine, be extremely careful to exclude pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, and other foreign objects.

3. The shredder will aggressively pull material into it. Once material is grabbed during feeding, let go immediately and move away.

4. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if the machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, and allow the machine to come to a complete stop. After machine stops:

a) Inspect for damage. b) Replace or repair any damaged parts. c) Check for and tighten any loose parts.

5. Every 10 hours of operation, check the bolts on the following for correct torque (75 ft. lbs.):

• Chipper rotor bearing

• Chipper blades (use 5/16" bolts. Tighten to 20 ft. lbs.) Failure to maintain proper fastening torque (75 ft.

lbs.) on bolts for the components listed above may result in severe damage to the chipper and/or personal injury!

ECTION

6. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge area; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed opening.

7. Do not attempt to operate the chipper with any of the guards, deflectors, or shrouds removed. Keep away from moving parts.

8. Keep all guards, deflectors, and shrouds in good working condition.

9. Always stand clear of the discharge area when operating this machine.

Caution: Keep face and body away from the feed opening. Do not overreach. Keep proper balance.

Shredding (See figure 4-5, pg. 18)

Caution: The shredder will aggressively pull material into it. Once material is grabbed by machine during feeding, let go

immediately and move away.

1. Place material to be shredded (grass, leaves, garden refuse, sticks, and branches up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 24" long) into the hopper. If necessary, use a leaf tamper, branch, or other similar object to push the material through the inlet guards.

2. Feed the material evenly into the shredder so that the engine or tractor does not lug down or shredder becomes clogged. If the machine becomes plugged, refer to the Service and Maintenance Section, "Clearing Plugged Rotor," for instructions. Branches or items that plug or cause the machine to stall should be fed more slowly and carefully, or put into the chipper.

the limb or insert it continuously at a rate that will not kill the engine or stall the tractor. Rotating the branch as you feed it will improve cutting action.

Note: the chipping blades will become dull with use and require periodic sharpening. Refer to Service and Maintenance, "Sharpening Chipper Blades," for instructions.

2.3.4 Stopping Engine Models

WARNING! Do not leave machine unattended, or attempt any inspection or service unless the engine is stopped and

spark plug wire is removed from spark plug.

1. Move throttle to "Slow" Position.

2. Depress foot clutch pedal.

3. Move throttle to "Stop" position or shut off key switch.

4. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug.

Note: the rotor will continue to turn for some time after the engine has been shut off. You can tell that the rotor has stopped when there is no noise or machine vibration. The stopping time can be shortened by inserting a branch in the chipper chute to contact the blades and slow the rotor.

2.3.5 Stopping PTO Model

WARNING! Do not leave machine unattended. Do not attempt any inspection

or service unless P.T.O. is disengaged and tractor engine is shut off. Allow machine to come to a complete stop.

Chipping (See figure 4-6, pg. 18)

1. Select limbs that are up to 5 inches in diameter. Trim side branches off that cannot be bent over enough to feed into the chipper chute. Hold small diameter branches together in a bundle and feed simultaneously.

2. 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 the sharpness of the cutting blades. Alternately insert and retract

1. Move tractor throttle to "Slow" position.

2. Disengage P.T.O lever and shut off tractor engine.

3. Allow machine to come to a complete stop.

ECTION

Service and Maintenance

Caution: Before inspecting or servicing any part of the machine, shut off the engine,

and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. The chipping blades are sharp! Use care when working on machine to avoid injury.

Engine Models: Check the engine oil, and change the oil and filter as recommended in the manual. Service and replace the air cleaner as recommended.

3.1 Sharpening Chipper Blades

The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making chipping difficult. It is recommended that the chipper blades are sharpened every 5-15 hours of chipper operation.

3.1.1 Removing the Chipping Blades

1. Remove the discharge screen by removing the

5/16 inch retaining bolt and pulling the screen outward.

2. Rotate the rotor so that the bolts holding the

chipper blade are most accessible.

3. Remove the two hex head bolts holding the

blade itself. Repeat for the second blade.

Grind the angled edge of the chipping blade to 45 degrees (see figure 4-7, pg. 18): Grind the blades on a slow-speed wet grinder if possible, or have them sharpened by a professional.

If you use a bench grinder, be careful when grinding so that the blade material does not get too hot and change color–this will remove the blade's special heat treated properties. Use short grinding times and cool with water.

Try to remove an equal amount off each blade to maintain balance. After sharpening, replace the chipping blades and tighten bolts to 20 ft. lbs.

NOTE: Never sharpen or grind on the back side of the chipper blade. This will cause the edge to roll and

the chipping blade will be damaged, causing poor chipping and feeding of material. Small imperfections, nicks, burrs, etc. on the flat side of the blade will not affect the performance of the machine.

3.1.2 Chipping Blade Sharpening Tips

Poor chipping performance is usually a result of dull chipping blades. If your chipper's performance has decreased, check for the following symptoms:

• Severe vibration when feeding material 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:

• The blade is cracked (especially around the bolt holes) or the edges are too deeply chipped to be ground smooth.

• The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been resharpened so that it is too close to the rotor chipping slot.

3.1.3 Setting Chipping Blade

Clearance

The chipping blades should clear the chipper block located directly under the chipper chute by 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch. To adjust the blade clearance, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the lower belt guard and the discharge screen. Remove plastic cover from the rear rotor bearing.

2. Loosen the set screws holding the lock collar on the front and rear bearings.

3. Use a punch and hammer to tap the lock collars in a direction opposite of normal rotation so that they rotate and can be removed.

4. Using a rubber mallet, tap the end of the rotor shaft to obtain 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch clearance (See figure 4-8, pg. 19). The blade clearance can be viewed through the discharge opening. Rotate the rotor and check the clearance on both chipping blades.

ECTION

5. Once clearance has been set, the lock collars must be replaced to retain setting. Slip the lock collars over the eccentric hub on the bearings. Using a punch and a hammer, rotate the lock collars in the direction of shaft rotation (i.e. clockwise on the rear bearing and counterclockwise on the front bearing) and "set" them with a positive hammer tap. Tighten the lock collar set screws.

6. Loosen the set screws that hold the belt pulley on the rotor shaft. Move the pulley on the shaft so it is aligned directly below the similar pulley on the engine shaft (the pulley should be moved the equal but opposite amount that the rotor was moved).

7. Insure the pulley drive key is completely seated under the pulley and tighten the set screws.

8. Replace the lower belt guard, discharge screen, and plastic bearing cap.

3.2 Replacing Shredder

Knives (Figure 4-9, pg. 20)

shafts in the correct order. If the spacers are not installed properly, the rotor will be out of balance and also will not have proper shredding action.

7. Repeat steps #5 & #6 for shafts 2, 3, and 4. Make sure to install knives and spacers in the proper order as shown on the drawing.

8. Reattach chipper chute to frame and tighten bolts.

9. Reinstall discharge screen and discharge cover and test machine.

On later model serial number machines (#11010 and above) the shredder kit can be installed without removing the chipper chute. Follow instructions below:

1. Remove belt guards from under the engine frame. Remove discharge cover and screen.

2. Remove #10-24 nuts and bolts from the knife shafts.

3. Align shaft with 5/8 inch hole in rear of frame and small hole in front of machine (the small hole is located by the chipper chute).

Caution: The shredder will aggressively pull material into it-- especially after

installing new, sharp knives. Once material is grabbed by machine during feeding, let go immediately and move away.

Care must be taken to insure knives and spacers are installed properly to maintain rotor balance.

1. Remove discharge cover, screen, and rotor end

cap.

2. Loosen the set screws holding the lock collar on

the chipper chute side rotor bearing.

3. Using a punch and hammer, tap the lock collar in

the direction opposite of normal rotation until loose and remove.

4. Remove chipper chute cover bolts and remove

the chute.

5. Remove #10-24 bolt and nut from knife shaft

#1, slide knife shaft off of rotor assembly, and discard the used shaft, spacers, bolt, and knives.

6. Insert new shaft, knives, spacers, bolt, and nut in

shaft #1 location (note order of assembly on drawing). Be sure to install the spacers on the

4. Using a small punch or rod, drive the shaft toward and out the rear 5/8 inch hole.

5. To assemble, insert shaft through 5/8 inch hole in rear of the frame and slide knives and spacers in their proper order onto the shaft. Install a new #10-24 nut and bolt.

6. Repeat steps #3 through #5 to assemble the other three shafts.

Abaissez le levier complètement pour arrêter le moteur. Consultez le manuel du moteur pour des instructions supplémentaires concernant le fonctionnement du moteur.

2. Starter : Utilisez-le pour démarrer un moteur froid.

Mettez sur la position ON (MARCHE) pour démarrer. Poussez le levier sur la position OFF (ARRET) lorsque le moteur tourne. Consultez le manuel du moteur pour des instructions supplémentaires concernant le fonctionnement du moteur.

3. Contact à clé : situé au-dessus du démarreur à main sur

le carter du moteur. Actionnez l’interrupteur du démarreur et relâchez-le aussitôt que le moteur tourne. N’engagez pas le démarreur pendant plus de 10 secondes, sinon cela peut produire des dommages sérieux.

4. Réservoir du moteur : utilisez de l’essence sans plomb.

Ne mélangez pas le carburant avec de l’huile.

5. Attelage de la remorque : utilisez toujours des boulets

de 5 cm et des chaînes de sécurité.

6. Support à vérin : toujours en position UP (en haut) et

au-dessus du sol lorsque vous déplacez la machine. Placez-le en position DOWN (en bas) sur une surface de niveau. Avant de faire fonctionner la machine, stabilisez le vérin en bonne position à l’aide des goupilles à ressort.

7. Courroie d’entraînement du moteur et écran :

n’enlevez jamais l’écran durant le fonctionnement de la machine.

11. Batterie du moteur : non fournie. Utilisez une batterie de type U1, 12 volts, 32 ampères avec 250 ampères de démarrage à froid.

12. Couvercle de l’extrémité de l’arbre du rotor : couvre le palier extrémité arbre du rotor.

13. Pédale: sert à engager la courroie de transmission de l’ensemble du rotor
