The chipper/shredder has spinning blades that can amputate hands and feet. Do
not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running! Do not place hands or
feet in the hopper or chipper cone, or discharge chute.
Safety Rules and Information
Thrown Objects
This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear protective goggles and
do not operate without the debris bag in place. Also, do not allow anyone in
the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the
unit off immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to
starting work.
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and
can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel,
not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its
vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel
belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the fuel tank with the
cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately. Proper
maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be sure to
perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially
periodically testing the safety system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS EXPLOSIONS Chipper/Shredder Models
Operation
General Operating Safety
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.
Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-to-metal sound of the
triangular hammers and Jhammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This is
normal. If this sound continues after the machine has reached full speed,
contact your dealer 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 first into the chipper cone. Since occasional kick-backs may occur, always
stand off 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 is loaded into the shredder hopper it is
pulled into the path of the triangular and J-hammers by air flow.
Vacuum Attachment (Optional)
In addition to the chipper cone and hopper, loose debris
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury from rotating cutting blades, keep hands out
of inlet while machine is running.
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.)
Operating Location
Select an area with firm, level ground, covered by dirt or grass. Do not
operate on wet or slick surfaces, or near bystanders. Locate and organize the
materials to be processed so that you don’t have to walk in front of the inlet
or discharge openings, and so you have adequate room to work safely.
DANGER
The exhaust from this product contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is
a colorless, orderless, and tasteless gas that can cause dizziness, nausea,
unconsciousness, or even brain damage and death if inhaled for prolonged
periods.
Operate the unit outdoors in a well ventilated location only. Keep children,
pets, and bystanders away.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
Adding Fuel
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than 10%
ETHANOL, gasoline additives, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage
could result.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the
tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open
flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any
spills.
To add fuel: 1. Remove the fuel cap (see Figure 1). 2. Fill the tank. Do not
overfill. Leave room in the tank
for fuel expansion. Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel
recommendations. 3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
Starting the Engine
1. Set the throttle to FULL. 2. Close the choke. NOTE: A warm engine may not
require choking. 3. Place one foot on the front support leg to hold the
unit firmly in place. 4. Pull the starting rope out to begin turning the
engine
over. Pull slowly at first and increase speed with each successive pull. 5.
After the engine starts, open the choke and move the engine throttle control
to SLOW. Warm up the engine
GetEarthquake.com
q
Page 15
by running it for at least a minute. 6. Set throttle to FULL and begin
chipping/shredding.
Stopping the Engine
NOTE: In the event of an emergency the engine can be stopped by setting the
throttle control to STOP.
1. Slide the throttle control fully left to the STOP position.
NOTE: Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-to-metal sound of
the triangular hammers and Jhammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This
is normal.
2. After the engine has stopped moving, remove the spark plug wire and remove
any debris from the unit and engine.
Processing Materials
Most materials to be processed can be handled more efficiently 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 force 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.
