      If your Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders unit isn't discharging, it might be due to several reasons. First, the discharge area could be clogged, so stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clean the flail screen and inside of the discharge opening. Second, a foreign object might be lodged in the impeller; in this case, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object. Third, ensure you're running the engine at full throttle. Finally, the vacuum bag might be full, so empty it.

    Why does my Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders engine run erratic?
    • S
      Stephen TerrellAug 26, 2025
      An erratic running engine in your Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders can stem from a few issues. Check if the spark plug boot is loose and connect and tighten it. If the unit is running on CHOKE, move the choke lever to the OFF position. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel requires you to clean the fuel line and fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline. Ensure the engine RPM is at full throttle. Lastly, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel if there's water or dirt in the fuel system.
