SECTION 2: ASSEMBLY

Mounting Safety
CAVEAT
The machine presents serious safety risks if handled by untrained personnel. Read this manual completely and carefully to familiarize yourself with the controls and operations before starting it up.
Siting Considerations

Location
The shredder should be located on a flat, smooth grass or dirt surface to prevent it from tipping over. DO NOT place the machine on concrete, asphalt, or another hard material surface. Chips can bounce off a hard surface and cause injury.
Take into account the length of the material to be shredded in the machine and check that the height of the place is sufficient to accommodate the material. Make sure the unit is close to the area where the chips will be used to save transportation.
Stay away from the unloading area. Check that there are no third parties, especially children, animals, or objects that could be damaged or that you do not want to see covered with chips in the discharge area.

Mounting
The main components of this wood chipper have been assembled at the factory. It is only necessary to assemble a few small elements. All parts and materials listed in the inventory will be used in the assembly process.
DO NOT start the machine until you have assembled all of its parts. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or major machine damage.
To assemble the shredder:

1. ay the shredder down and remove the four bolts indicated in the illustration 2 DO NOT lay the shredder down with full fuel and oil tanks and it would spill.

You must understand and follow all safety precautions listed in SECTION 1: SAFETY before operating the machine.
This shredder is designed for mulching gardens or for the removal of pruning waste such as green branches, small twigs, bushes, lianas, and long grasses. DO NOT use this shredder for shredding construction debris, plastic, paper or cardboard, rope, twine, or any material that may contain metal.
Note: Remove any nails, string, twine, or stones that may be between the roots before inserting the material into the grinder.
To operate the shredder:

1. Place the machine on flat, firm ground or grass and place the drain line discharge pointing in a safe direction.
2. Check fuel and oil levels before starting the engine.
3. Place the bag on the hopper and secure it properly.
4. Check that the hopper and funnel are empty before turning on the machine. Yes If there is material in the hopper or funnel, the starter cable could stop suddenly and cause the machine to overturn or injure hands or arms.
5. Put on the eye and ear protection and gloves, start the machine according to instructions in the manual, and then set the throttle to fast.
6. Stand to one side of the hopper and check that you have a stable and secure footing.

Start-up of the wood chipper:
Turn the fuel lever to the ON position (Illustration 11) (11.1)
Place the choke lever in the ON position (Illustration 12) (12.1)

Turn the motor ON/OFF switch to the ON position (Illustration 13)(13.1)

Firmly grasp the engine with one hand on the chassis. With the other hand grasp the recoil starter rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt, indicating the starter is engaged. When you feel this resistance, pull hard on the rope (Illustration 14). Repeat this procedure until the engine starts.
After the engine has started and is running smoothly, return the choke lever to the OFF position.
(Illustration 15). (15.1)

When the engine is running, the speed can be adjusted by moving the throttle control lever (Illustration 16)(16.1) to the high, medium or low position (indicated by a turtle).

To stop the shredder:
To stop the wood chipper, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (Illustration 17) (17.1).

After the engine has stopped and before storing, move the fuel lever to the OFF position as shown in illustration 18(18.1).
To shred small branches, leaves, and brush:

1. Slowly pour the material into the hopper. Avoid piling up too much material at one time or you will jam the machine.

2. Use a branch with a diameter of about 2.5 cm to push the material into the hopper if necessary (See illustration 19). DO NOT use your hands.
   NOTE: Idle throttle, or turn shredder off, when not shredding.

3. Shut off the machine, wait for moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before emptying the bag, unclogging intake or discharge lines, filling the fuel tank, or performing maintenance or repairs.

Shredding tips:

• Add material to the shredder slowly. If the motor is running slower, it is feeding material too fast.

• Roots and dirty material will damage or wear the blades.

• Remove chips frequently.
  If you let these accumulate in the discharge tube, it will end up clogging.

• Avoid shredding wet leaves or brushes to reduce clogging. If you have to grind fresh wet material, alternate it with dry material.

To shred branches:

1. Stand to one side of the hopper and check that you have a stable and secure footing.

2. Remove small twigs from the branch if they are likely to catch on the edges of the funnel, thereby preventing the branch from entering the funnel.

3. Insert the branches into the funnel, the thickest part first, and let the blades pull the branch into the funnel (see illustration 20).
   

4. When shredding is complete, turn the machine off, wait for moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging intake and discharge lines, refueling, or carrying out repairs or maintenance.

Grinding tips:

• DO NOT put material into the funnel that exceeds the diameter indicated on the funnel lid. Branches that are too big will cause the motor to stall.
• Shredding wood when it is green is easier for the machine. Blades will stay sharp longer.
• The shredder will work better if the blades are sharp. Rotate, sharpen or replace blades as soon as shredder performance begins to deteriorate.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE

CAVEAT
Shut off the machine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging intake and discharge lines, refueling, or  performing repairs or maintenance
Visual inspection
Both before and after using the wood chipper, visually inspect for loose or damaged parts.

• Check that the hopper, the hopper protection and the funnel do not have cracks, holes or loose bolts.
• Check for cracks or damage to the case chassis.
• Check that none of the screws or bolts are loose or loose.
• Check blades and hammers for cracks or damage.
• Check the engine oil level.

Cleaning
Clean the machine after each use. Wait for the engine to cool down and remove the spark plug wire. Brush or vacuum clean wood chips and sawdust from the outside of the machine with a dry cloth. DO NOT get the shredder wet. Remove any debris or debris from the hopper and discharge opening.
It will be much more difficult to clean the machine if you allow time to pass before cleaning it.
You may need to use an engine cleaner to remove resin buildup from the engine. You can find engine cleaners at most auto parts stores.
Engine Maintenance
Spark plug
You will need to remove the spark plug every 50 hours of operation. Watch for the color of the deposits on the end of the spark plug. They should be a “tan” color. Remove deposits using a stiff brush, a wire brush would be ideal. Check the valve electrode gap (Illustration 21) (21.1) and adjust if necessary. The correct separation will be between 0.7 and 0.8 mm.![anova BIO150D Bio Shredder
