Chapter 3: Operating the DR 11.5 CHIPPER SHREDDER
This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR 11.5 CHIPPER SHREDDER and discusses basic
operation features. It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your CHIPPER SHREDDER by reviewing
Figure 2 in Chapter 2 before beginning the steps outlined in this chapter.
Before You Begin
 Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage each time you use the machine.
 ALWAYS operate the DR 11.5 CHIPPER SHREDDER from the Operator
Zones (Figure 7).
 When viewed from the Chipper Chute side the Flywheel turns in a clockwise
direction.
 ALWAYS stop the Engine when leaving the Operating Zone or when moving
the machine.
Starting the Engine (Manual Start)
Note: See next page for electric start.
1. Check the Oil and Fuel level every time you use the DR 11.5 CHIPPER
SHREDDER.
2. Check the Shredder Hopper, Chipper Chute, and Discharge Guard and
remove any debris buildup from the machine as described on page 16.
3. Rotate the Fuel Shut-Off Valve counter clockwise to its OPEN position
(Figure 8).
4. Move the Choke Control Lever to the right to the Choke position (leave in
the Run position to the left if the Engine is already warm).
5. Move the Throttle Control Leaver to about half way between Slow (turtle)
and Fast (rabbit) Position.
6. Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle and slowly pull until you feel resistance,
then pull the cord rapidly to start the Engine. One or two pulls will usually
start the Engine.
7. As the Engine warms up, slowly adjust the Choke to the left towards the Run
position. Wait until the Engine runs smoothly before each Choke
adjustment.
8. When the Engine is warmed up and running smoothly, ensure that the
Choke is fully to the left and the Throttle Control Lever is fully to the Fast
(rabbit) Position for Chipping and Shredding.
Note: The Throttle should always be fully to the right when Chipping/Shredding.
