9.6 Emptying the collection bag
The bag needs emptying when the waste chippings in the collection
bag has reached the bottom of the discharge chute of the machine.
In order to do so, always first make sure to shut off the engine (failu-
re to do so will cause the engine to cut out automatically on collection
bag removal).
Failure to empty the bag in time will cause the shredding chamber to
get clogged up and finally come to a stop (see Chapter 9.7).
Caution:
A machine that does clog up is a sure source of overheating with the
resultant increase in fire hazard.
The collection bag has an approximative 125 litre capacity.
Warning :
Once full, the collection bag can be pretty heavy. Which means - make
sure to hold the collection bag close in towards your body as close as
possible first and then lift using your leg muscles. (Lift keeping back
straight and bend legs at the knees.)
Know your own capability. The mere fact of lifting things beyond your
personal capacity a mere few centimetres does serious damage. Seek
assistance when lifting things that are too heavy for you.
Either you can empty the contents of the collection bag in to a
wheel barrow, or you can carry the full bag to the dumping area using
the wheel barrow.
What's more, the machine can be used for transporting the collec-
tion bag once full. When doing so we suggest you use the optional car-
rying rack. This prevents the collection bag from trailing on the ground
and comes in useful as an extra collection bag load support.
When refitting the collecting bag you can secure it in position using
locating pins.
Alternatively, you can replace the collection bag with a discharge
funnel. Again, move the machine in time as to prevent the pile of chips
from blocking the discharge opening.
