PRODUCT OVERVIEW

TO START ENGINE

Ensure the discharge chute and chipping chute are in the operating position.

Check the engine oil level. Top up with 10w/40 oil if necessary.

Check fuel level. Only use unleaded petrol from a clean container.

Never re-fuel when the engine is hot or running. Leave 1” air space in the fuel tank.

Switch on ignition and if the engine is cold, apply the choke.

Turn the fuel tap to ‘on’ position and apply half throttle.

Pull the recoil start handle gently until it engages then give it a good strong pull to start the engine.

When the engine has started, release the choke lever after a few seconds and return the throttle lever to idle position.

OPERATION

Increase engine to FULL throttle and allow the machine to build up to its FULL operating speed.

If you are using the collection bag over the discharge chute then ensure it is not obstructing the exhaust as damage to the bag will occur from a hot exhaust.

Use the timber sizing ring to ensure the maximum thickness of timber is not exceeded. If the timber does not go through the ring it is too large for the machine to handle.

Timber less than 1” in diameter usually self-feeds through the machine. If it is over 1” in diameter, it may be necessary to pull the timber back to avoid over-feeding if the engine speed starts to drop.

Always put the thickest end of the branch into the chute first.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION WILL CAUSE DAMAGE – correct feed pressure and engine speed is important to reduce the possibility of damage to the machine.

Neither pull out nor push in the short end pieces with hands. Use the next branch to feed the short end through the chipper each time. BE CAREFUL – short ends sometimes feed themselves through the chipper but are occasionally thrown out.

Never stand on the discharge side of the machine or directly in front of the chipper chute.

KEEP TO ONE SIDE.
