OPERATION
If the chipper shredder stalls from overloading or clogging,
turn off the engine's power switch and wait until the
cutting disk is completely stopped and the belt drive is
disengaged. Allow the engine to completely cool and
switch the engine to off. Open the housing cover to clear
and remove all the materials from the housing. Lock the
housing cover, switch the engine to the on position, and
start the machine again to resume operation.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal condi-
tions, use the following procedure:
Your wood chipper is equipped with two large pneumatic
wheels for easy movement by hand. To move the unit, grip
the handles and tilt the wood chipper slightly after
making sure the oil tank cover is tightened.
As the discharge material plies up, move the chipper away
from the pile. This will keep the material from backing up
the discharge chute. Do not position the deflector
vertically, as this will reduce the airflow, impeding the
discharge and causing blockage.
Wait until the machine completely stops. Allow the
engine to completely cool. Then clean out the interior of
the machine and its discharge chute.
Set the throttle control lever to the SLOW position to
reduce stress on the engine when chipping is not being
performed.Lowering the engine speed will help extend the
life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and reduce
noise level.
Make sure the machine is level and stable
to avoid unnecessary vibrations.
Do not operate on concrete or other hard
surface.
Sudden stopping at a high speed under a
heavy load is not recommended. Engine
damage may result.
Do not move the choke control to CLOSE
to stop the engine. Backfire or engine
damage may occur.
Do not disengage the belt drive with the
machine running. This will cause friction
and vibration on the belt drive.
Do not open the housing cover unless the
engine and cutting disk are completely
stopped and the belt drive is disengaged.
The engine is fitted with an oil alert and
will not start if the oil level in the sump is
too low. It may also stop if it is operated
on a steep slope.
To shut down the machine, move the
throttle control lever to idle speed, turn
the engine switch to the OFF position, and
it will gradually come to a standstill.
