● Bulky material, such as stalks or heavy branches (anything
over 1/2” diameter, up to 3“ in diameter), should be fed into
the Chipper chute (See flG 5-OP).
Forbestperformance, it isimportanttokeepthe shredding blade
and the chipper blade sharp. Refer to service and adjustment
section, pages 12, 13. If the composition of the material being
discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate at
which the material feeds in slows down considerably, it is likely
that the shredding blade and/or Chipper blade is dull and need
to be sharpened or replaced.
●
Torotatethe Hopper assembly, use one (1) hand to pullthe
Hopper release knob out untilthe Hopper assembly isfree
to move (See FIG. 4-OP). Rotate the Hopper assembly to
