SPARK ARRESTER WARNING TO RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND SEVERAL OTHER STATES

Under California law, and under the laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operate an inter nal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest, brush, hay, grain, or grass covered land; or land covered by any flammable agricultural crop with out an engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order.

The engine on the unit is an internal combustion engine which burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and must be equipped with a spark arrester muffler in con tinuous effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable material. Failure of the owner/operator of the unit to comply with this regulation is a mis demeanor under California law (and other states) and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific informa tion about which regulations apply in your area.

Failure to follow these Instructions can result in serious per sonal injury.

INTRODUCTION

This Section describes the location and function of the main fea tures and controls on your chipper/shredder. Refer to Section 4;

Operation ior detailed operating instructions.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the separate Engine Owner’s Manual for

detailed information about the controls on the engine.

A DANGER

The cutting blades inside the chipper/shrodder chamber

rotate when the engine is started. Contact with rotating blades will cause severe personal injury.

Keep hands, face, feet and clothing away from chipper chute inlet, shredder hopper inlet, discharge opening and dis charge area at all times.

CHIPPER/SHREDDER FEATURES AND CDNTRDLS

SHREDDER HOPPER (INLET)

The shredder hopper (see Figures 3-1 and 3-1 A) is the opening at the top of the unit for material to be shredded. Material up to 1/2'

in diameter can be processed through the shredder hopper. In the shredder chamber, rotating cutting blades shreS the material.

A rubber retainer flap (Figure 3-1 A) is installed at the shredder

hopper opening. Material is pushed past this retainer flap (using only the leaf tamper supplied with unit) and enters the shredder

chamber. The retainer flap prevents kickback of materialsl Do

not use the unit unless the retainer flap is securely fastened

and is hanging freely inside the hopper opening. Immediately replace the retainer flap if it is torn or damaged.

shredder hopper inlet, chipper chute inlet, discharge opening, or near the discharge area at any time.

Perform maintenance and service only

after the engine is off, the spark plug wire is disconnected and moved away from the spark plug, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Then use only a long wooden stick or a long handled shovel to clear away dis charged materials or blockages.

CHIPPER CHUTE (INLET)

Material up to 3" in diameter (such as small branches and vines) can be pro cessed through the side-mounted chipper chute (Figure 3-1). Material fed into the chipper chute is turned into chips by a chipper blade mounted on a revolving fly wheel (Figure 3-1A).

A WARNING

Do not oporate unit unless chipper chute

is properly bolted to side of unit. Seri

ous personal injury can result if chipper chute is not securely attached.

CHIPPER/SHREDDER CHAMBER

Inside the chipper/shredder chamber is a flywheei/cylinder assembly that is beltdriven by the engine drive shaft.

The flywheel has a chipper blade (A, Figure 3-2) attached to one side. The cylinder assembly holds 12 shredder cutting blades (B). During operation, the chipper blade and shredder blades revolve at the same time, allowing you to either chip or shred.

Material fed into the shredder hopper is shredded and ground when the shredder cutting blades force material against the chamber baffles and the discharge dis charge screen. When shredded finely enough, the material is forced out through the holes in the discharge screen (or between the bars of the optional bar grate).

The chipper cutting blade is separated from a stationary anvil by a gap of 1/16' to

1/8". Material fed into the chipper chute is

Figure 3-2: View Inside cMpper/shredder

chamber shows chipper blade “A ” and a shredder cutting blade “B".

DISCHARGE OPENING

AND DISCHARGE SCREEN

At the bottom of the unit, under the chip

per/shredder chamber, is a discharge screen (Figure 3-3) through which pro cessed materials must pass before being discharged from the unit. The diameter of the holes in the screen determines how finely the materials are shredded.

The unit comes equipped with a screen that has 3/4" holes. Optional screens

having 3/8", 1" or 1-3/4" holes are avail able. The smaller holes produce more finely shredded particles. The larger holes

produce more coarsely processed material and may not clog as readily when wet,

soggy or green materials are processed.

(A bar grate for processing very wet,

heavy materials is also available). To

remove and install a discharge screen,

refer to Removal/lnstallation Discharge

Screen or Bar Grate in Section 4.

IMPORTANT: Rotating shredder cutting

blades pass within 1/4" of the discharge

screen or bar grate. Keep hands and feet

away at all timesi Never operate

machine unless a discharge screen or

bar grate is secureiy installed.

Figure 3-3: Standard discharge screen has 3/4" diameter holes.

BAR GRATE AHACHMENT (OPTION)

The bar grate attachment (Figure 3-4) has slotted openings that are wide enough to efficiently process wet or soggy materials

such as matted leaves, spoiled or leftover

vegetables, manure, etc. If desired, this

coarsely shredded material can then be dried and later run through the shredder when a discharge screen is installed. To remove and install a bar grate, refer to

Removal/lnstallation Discharge Screen or Bar Grate in Section 4.

Figure 3-4: Optional bar grate.

CLUTCH LEVER

Use the clutch lever (Figure 3-5) when starting the engine. Engaging the lever releases tension on the cylinder assembly drive belt (Figure 3-6) to make engine starting easier.

When starting the engine, squeeze the clutch lever against the handlebar while pulling the recoil rope starter. Release the clutch lever slowly when the engine starts and is running smoothly. This action puts tension on the drive belt to rotate the shredder cylinder assembly.

A DANGER

USING THE CHIPPER/SHREDDER

SOME MATERIALS SHOULD BE SHREDDED, OTHERS SHOULD BE CHIPPED. HERE’S HOW TO DECIDE WHICH METHOD TO USE:

To enjoy the greatest benefits from the

unit, it is important to know which materi als are best fed into the shredder hopper and which ones are best fed into the chip per chute. Use the following information as a guide. iMPORTANT: Refer to Using

the Shredder and Using the Chipper m this

Section of the Manual for detailed operat ing instructions.

Do not food the following materials Into the shredder hopper or the chipper chute:

• Metal • Glass • Bottles

• Plastic • Cans • Rocks/Stones

• Other Non-organic Foreign Objects

IMPORTANT: Do not allow processed

material to build up beneath or beside the unit to the point where it contacts the discharge screen. If material cannot freely exit the discharge screen,

it will continue to circulate within the

processing chamber. This leads to clogs and the possibility of some of the

material being “blown” back up through the hopper.

If shredded material builds up beneath the unit, do not attempt to remove it until the engine is stopped, the spark plug wire is disconnected and moved away from the spark plug, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Use a long stick or long-handled shovel to remove the material. Never use your hands or feet to remove material!

A DANGER

Do not put hands inside chipper chute.

The rotating cutting blade inside chute will cause serious personal Injury.

Section 4: Operation

• Evenly rotate the branch to help prevent the bark from turning into long strips that can get tangled around the internal cylin der shaft. Rotating the branch also improves the cutting action of the chipper blade.

• Feed the branch slowly into the chipper chute until just a few inches of the branch stick out from the top of the chipper chute.

NEVER put your hands inside the chipper chute — serious personal injury can resultl Short stubs of branches may be pushed through the chipper with the next branch.

• If the engine slows down under load, reduce feed pressure and allow the engine

to regain full speed before continuing.

Overloading the chipper could result in damage to the belt or engine.

NOTE; If the chipper is not cutting branches efficiently, the chipper blade could be dull, or the wood could be partic ularly hard. Try processing another type of wood to see if it cuts more easily. If not, check the condition of the chipper blade. Refer to Chipper Blade Removal

and Installation in Section 5.

• When the engine starts, the cutting blades inside the chipper/shredder cham ber will begin to revolve at a high rate of speed. The shredder is then ready to use.

• Do not feed materiai into the shredder hopper from the engine side of the unit. Always avoid the hot muffler on the engine.

• When feeding material into the shred der, stand a foot or two away from the hopper opening and keep your arms and hands parallel to and several inches above

the top edge of the hopper. See Figure 4-

4. Do not point hands or arms downward toward the hopper opening or put hands or arms inside the hopper.

• Feed materials Into the shredder slowly, and in limited quantities, until you become

familiar with its operation. Bulk and

lengths can be increased gradually if the material is being processed easily. Do not overload the shredder as doing so will cause the engine speed to decrease significantly.

• A steady flow of materials into the shredder hopper provides the most effec

tive results. The rate of feed for small

branches, vines (2-3 foot lengths only),

and brush can be controlled by lightly

pushing and guiding the free end of the

material until it extends above the top of

the hopper. At this point, LET GO OF THE

MATERIAL. The cutting blades can tug

suddenly at material being fed into the hopper. Do not hold onto the material I Always hold material loosely and be ready to let go of it quickly.

NOTE; It is best to cut long branches into 3-5 foot lengths and vines to 2-3 foot lengths before feeding them into the shredder hopper. When shredding wet material, mix dry material in with it. Alter nating wet and dry materiai helps prevent material from sticking inside the shredder chamber. Very wet materials should be processed using the optional Bar Grate at tachment. Refer to Shredding Wet,

Bar Grate in this Section for detailed

instructions.

A DANGER

Page 15

Section 4: Operation 15

Wet, soggy, or “green” materials will be

shredded to a medium consistency when

using the Bar Grate. However, to shred these materials to an even finer consis tency, you may wish to process the mate rial a second time.

If you do not have the optional Bar Grate attachment, try alternating small wet and small dry batches of material to help pre

vent clogging the discharge screen.

A DANGER

Do not shred brush, branches, or other dry materials when the Bar Grate Is Installed. Materials will exit the discharge opening at high speed and

wiil not be properly processed.

A DANGER

Before removing jammed or clogged material, shut the engine off, wait for

all moving parts to come to a stop and disconnect the spark plug wire and

move it away from the spark plug. Use only a long wooden stick or a long-

handled shovel to clear away dis charged materials or blockages.

REMOVING/INSTALLING DISCHARGE SCREEN OR BAR GRATE

It may be necessary to remove the stan dard discharge screen for any of these reasons:

1. The screen may need cleaning. The

hoies in the screen may be ciogged, preventing materiais from being properiy discharged.

2. To process wet or green materials. This is best accompiished by removing the screen and installing the optional bar grate attachment.

3. To change the size of the discharged

materiai. Remove the standard screen

and replace it with one of the optional screens (with different size holes).

A DANGER

Rotating cutting blades inside discharge

opening will cause serious personal

injury. Biades cut 1/4-inch from dis

charge screen or bar grate attachment. Before removing or installing the dis

charge screen or bar grate, be certain

the engine is off, all moving parts have

stopped completely, and the spark plug

wire is disconnected and kept away

ENCINE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Refer to the separate Engine

Owner’s Manual tor complete engine maintenance guidelines and instructions.

ENGINE OIL

• Check the oil level before each use and after every 8 operating hours (whichever comes first). Refer to the Engine

Owner’s Manual for how to check the oil level.

• Change the engine oil after the first 5

hours of operation, then every 25 hours

thereafter (change more often if operat

ing in extremely dusty, dirty conditions).

See oil changing instructions in the sepa

rate Engine Owner’s Manual. TIP: When changing oil, fold a piece of cardboard or aluminum foil into a “V” and position

below the oil drain plug as shown in

Figure 5-9.

ENGINE SPARK PLUG

To maintain peak engine efficiency, service the spark plug every 100 hours, or annu ally, as instructed in the Engine Owner’s

Manual.

KEEP ENGINE CLEAN

Check the engine recoil housing, cooling fins and muffler frequently for debris and clean daily before running the engine.

Grass, dirt, or wood chips can clog the

rotating screen and the engine air cooling system and cause overheating. Clean the

muffler area to remove combustible debris. Use a cloth or brush when clean ing. Do not clean with a forceful spray of water because water could contaminate the fuel system.

If the engine is equipped with a spark arrester screen, remove it for cleaning and

inspection. Replace if damaged or plugged.

A WARNING

to avoid a fire hazard, keep ieaves, grass, and other combustihie materiais away from hot engine and muffler.

OFF-SEASON STORAGE

When storing the unit for more than 30 days, follow the storage guidelines below

to help ensure that the unit will be in good

condition for future use. Before storing the unit, stop the engine,

allow the engine to cool and disconnect

the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

• Thoroughly clean the unit.

• Tighten or replace any loose or missing hardware.

• Sand and touch-up any rusted or

chipped painted surfaces.

• Inspect for missing or damaged parts. Repair or replace parts as necessary.

• Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for proper engine storage information and service the engine as instructed. Be sure

to protect the fuel system and carburetor from fuel gum deposits that can develop during extended storage.

• Cover the unit with a suitable protective

cover that does not retain moisture. NOTE; Do not use a plastic cover. A plastic cover will retain moisture and promote corrosion.

Figure 5-9: Orelnlng the engine oil.

AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE

The engine air cleaner system filters the

air before it is drawn into the carburetor

for combustion. This air cleaner system

requires regular maintenance for maxi

mum engine life and performance. Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for engine air cleaner service information.

IMPORTANT: Service the air cleaner

system more often if used in extremely dusty conditions.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

■»The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory. It should not need to be reset. If

a black exhaust is noted, check the air cleaner first. An over-rich mixture is usu ally caused by a poorly serviced or clogged air cleaner element, not an improperly adjusted carburetor. If read justment is necessary, refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual or contact your local authorized dealer.

FUEL FILTER

If engine is equipped with a fuel filter, clean it every 50 hours of operation (see Engine Owner’s Manual for instructions).
