C190-0187 25.01.2019 Rev: 1.0
STARTING THE ENGINE
Turn the fuel valve to the ‘ON’ position. •
Move the choke lever to the ‘CLOSE’ position. NOTE: Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the air •
temperature is high.
Move the throttle control lever slightly to the left. •
Turn the ignition switch to the ‘ON’ position. •
Pull the starter handle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. •
CAUTION: Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the recoil mechanism.
As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the ‘OPEN’ position. •
Position the throttle control lever for the desired engine speed.•
Should the machine need to be stopped in an emergency, push the red emergency stop button positioned on the funnel.
This stops all power to the engine, bringing the machine to a complete stop. The engine cannot be restarted until the
button is restored to its original position. Before disengaging the emergency stop button, ensure the engine has come to
a complete standstill then inspect the machinery to determine the reason for activation.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Move the throttle control lever to idle and allow to run for one minute. •
Turn the fuel valve to the ‘Off’ position. •
Turn the ignition switch to the 'Off' position (as shown in the diagram on page 8). •
Locate the machine on firm level ground. •
Check engine oil level. •
Check the fuel valve is open. •
Check all guards are in place. •
Check the discharge unit is pointing in a safe direction. •
Check the feed funnel to ensure no objects are inside. •
For parts location see diagrams on pages 3 & 4.
DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
Wood up to 75 mm in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Enter it into the funnel butt end first. Release the material
before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly whilst being chipped. The wood will be
drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear.
A piece of wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this happens it is possible
to hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain its speed again.
If a piece of wood gets stuck in the funnel and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need to be removed.
Stop the engine and wait for moving parts to stop before removing the material. Trim the branch until it is a suitable
shape for the chipper to accept.
