monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death, in addition
to drowsiness, dizziness and confusion. If you experience
any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention
immediately.
If your machine comes with a separate engine manual, be
sure to read and follow all safety and warning precautions
outlined there, in addition to any in this manual.
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly ammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never ll
fuel tank indoors.
d. Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled
fuel before restarting.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run
engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon
monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be
pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where
the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily taken
away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills
surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area.
(Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or
more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muer pointed
in the direction away from the operator.

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Operator’s Manual
Chipper Shredders
Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are
ammable and vapors are explosive.
• When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate
container and away from any re hazards.
• Prevent re and explosion caused by static electric discharge.
Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by
the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society
for Testing &Materials.
• Always ll fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never
fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:
basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never
ll tank near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other
ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should
be done outdoors. The drained fuel should be stored in a
container specically designed for fuel storage or it should
be disposed of carefully.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Stop engine and allow to cool before lling.
• Do not smoke while refueling or operating engine.
• Never drain fuel from the engine in an enclosed area.
• Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before
starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled,
do not start the engine but move machine and fuel container
from area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to evaporate and
dry after wiping and before starting.
• Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before
starting engine.
• Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and
using engine.
• Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on
the engine.
• During storage, keep machine so gas cap is up.
• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
• Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow
children to ll the engine.
• Never allow an adult or anyone under the inuence of drugs
or alcohol to ll engine.
• When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank,
store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other
appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
• Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with
a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before lling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
BURNS AND FIRES
The muer, muer guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These
parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
Prevention of Burns and Fires
• Never remove the muer guard from the engine.
• Never touch the muer guard because it is extremely hot
and will cause severe burns.
• Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after
operation.
• Always keep materials and debris away from muer guard
and other hot parts of the engine to avoid res.
CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children and/or bystanders. Never assume that
others will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, especially
small children and pets. Keep children under the watchful
care of a responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn the machine o if children enter the area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the machine

GENERAL OPERATION
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.
Check all hardware (bolts, screws, etc) before every use for
tightness to be sure machine is in safe working condition.
Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-to-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 or Tazz 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 rst into the
chipper cone. Since occasional kick-backs may occur, always
stand o to the side of the unit. Allow the self-feeding 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 (no larger than
1/2 inch in diameter) is loaded into the shredder hopper it is
pulled into the path of the triangular and J-hammers by air
ow.
Vacuum Attachment (Optional)
In addition to the chipper cone and hopper, loose debris may
be processed by the Vacuum hose adapter kit. Leaves 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.)
The optional Tazz vacuum kit part number is 22518 and can
be ordered by contacting Tazz customer service or ordering
online at Tazzchippers.com as listed below.
Operating Location

1. See engine manual for start up instructions.
2. Ensure engine is running full throttle before beginning
chipping operation. On some engines, the throttle may
not be adjustable.
Stopping the Engine
1. See engine manual for shut down procedure.
2. Stopping the engine is the only way to stop the rotor
from turning. With engines equipped with an adjustable
throttle, move the throttle to the SLOW position and
wait for engine to be running a slow RPM. Then switch to
STOP ENGINE as shown in the engine manual.
Processing Materials
Most materials to be processed can be handled more eciently by following these tips.
Chipping Tips:
• Prune branches down close to the main branch to
make feeding them into the chipper cone easier.
• Large, hard, dried tree branches that resist chipping
can be processed by rotating them as you alternately
insert and retract them.
• If the material to be chipped is extremely hard, kicks
back forcefully when being fed into the chipper cone,
or cannot be easily controlled, remove the material
immediately and set it aside.
• If additional force is required to insert materials
into the chipper, the blades probably need to be
sharpened. Consult the Troubleshooting and Repair
section of this manual, or see your authorized dealer.
• Maintain control of the materials you are feeding to
prevent them from whipping around.
• Do not insert short pieces of material into the chipper
cone by hand. Use a larger piece of material to feed
them into the chipper cone.
Shredding Tips
• Don’t overload the shredder by dumping large
volumes of material into the hopper opening.
• Alternate loads of wet and dry material to prevent the
discharge from becoming plugged.
• Never use any object to force material into the
shredding chamber. It could get caught in the
shredding hammers and damage the unit.
Storage
• 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
NOTE: Do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed
structure. (SEE GASOLINE FIRES AND HANDLING FUEL
SAFETY
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all uid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures
found in the engine owner’s manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before use.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices
when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.
2. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition
source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause
an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and
animals.
3. Always use the hopper handle and built-in wheels to
move the chipper shredder. Never lift the unit using the
fuel tank for support. If the unit must be lifted , always
use at least two people, and always grip the unit securely
using the front leg and hopper handle.
4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage
preparations before storing the unit for both short and
long term periods.
5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper
start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.
6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there
is an open ame or pilot light, such as in a water heater.
Allow unit to cool before storing.

WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Limited 5 Year Chipper Shredder Warranty
Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam) warrants this chipper shredder under a ve-year limited warranty to be free from defects in the material or workmanship or both for a
period not exceeding sixty consecutive months from the date of original purchase by the rst retail consumer or rst commercial end user. This warranty does
not apply to the engine mounted on the product. “Consumer use,” means personal recreational use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use,“ or “commercial
application,“ means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once a product has experienced commercial use, it
shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use product for the purpose of this warranty. This warranty applies to the original owner that provides a proof
of purchase. This warranty is not transferable. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the rst retail consumer or commercial end user, and
continues for the sixty month consecutive period thereafter. Any unit used in a commercial application is covered for a period of 90 days after purchase by the
rst commercial end user. For the warranty to be valid, the product must be registered online within 30 days of purchase, or the warranty card must be lled out
and received by Ardisam within 30 days of purchase. Ardisam shall not be obligated for transportation charges that result from repair or replacement under the
terms of this warranty. Transportation charges are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
This warranty excludes parts that are worn or damaged due to normal wear, such as bearings, wheels, tires, tri hammers, J hammers, chipper knives, routine
maintenance items such as O-rings, seals, and lubricants, accessory parts such as nylon collection bag and collection bag mounts. Negligent use such as using
the chipper shredder for a purpose other than for which it was designed and manufactured, continued use of chipper shredder after sudden change in vibration
do to foreign bodies adhering to chipper rotor, using the chipper shredder in violation of local codes, ordinances and good trade practices voids this warranty.
*These warranties apply only to products which have not been subjected to negligent use, abuse, misuse, overload, improper installation, alteration, accident,
acts of God (or other events beyond Ardisam’s control), vandalism, unauthorized parts, or if repairs have been performed at a non-authorized service facility.
These warranties shall not cover damage from normal wear and tear, normal maintenance parts and services, lightning; nor improper installation, operation,
storage, or maintenance; nor operating the equipment above recommended maximums as stated in this manual and the accompanying engine manual.
This limited warranty applies to defects in the material or workmanship of the product only. This warranty policy applies only to product which have not been
subjected to misuse including but not limited to operating the product with excessive vibration causing loose hardware, uses other than those indicated in
the product manual, alteration, accident, use of unauthorized parts, failure to perform periodic maintenance as specied in product manual, normal wear and
tear, use of unauthorized parts or repairs performed at unauthorized service centers. There is no other express warranty. Implied warranties, including those of
merchantability and tness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year from purchase, or to the extent permitted by law. All other implied warranties are
excluded. Liability for incidental or consequential damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by law. Ardisam does not assume, and does not
authorize any other person to assume for Ardisam, any liability in connection with the sale of Ardisam products. To be at “No Charge,” warranty work must be
sent directly to and performed by Ardisam or an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To obtain warranty service and/or replacement instructions,
contact the Ardisam Customer Service Department at 800-345-6007. If you choose to ship your product to Ardisam for warranty repair, you must rst have prior
approval from Ardisam by calling the Ardisam Customer Service Department for a return material authorization number (RMA#). Under these circumstances, all
items must be shipped prepaid. Ardisam will, in its discretion, at no charge, repair or replace any defective part to which this warranty applies. Ardisam retains
the right to change models, specications and price without notice. Ardisam shall not be obligated to ship any repair or replacement product to any location
outside of the United States of America or Canada. Some states and countries do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state and country to country.
