This document describes the Xtreme Power 212 CC Wood Chipper Shredder, Item: 61030. It is a petrol engine-powered chipper shredder designed to reduce the volume of organic waste.

Function Description:

The chipper shredder is designed to break up leaves and wooded pieces such as tree branches, brush, and limbs into smaller volumes. It achieves this through a high-speed rotor equipped with chipping blades and shredding hammers. The chipper function handles tree limbs and branches up to approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter, as well as coarse organic matter like corn stalks. Tree branches should be inserted large-end first into the chipper cone, and users should stand to the side to avoid kick-backs. The shredder function is for light brush, leaves, and other soft but bulky organic waste, with material no larger than 1/2 inch in diameter. Material is pulled into the path of the triangular and J-hammers by air flow. The unit is intended for outdoor use on firm, level ground, covered by dirt or grass, away from bystanders. It is not to be used for any other purpose.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific engine details are not extensively listed beyond "212 CC," the manual indicates that the engine is shipped from the factory without oil, requiring the user to add engine oil before starting. The chipper can handle branches up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter and 18 inches long for shredding. Smaller materials that will not obstruct the vacuum hose are suitable for the vacuum attachment (if applicable). The unit features a kickstand, wheels for mobility, a chipper cone, a hopper, and a debris bag. Hardware includes M8-1.25 x 40 bolts, M8 washers, M8-1.25 nuts for the kickstand, and M6-1.0 x 16 bolts, M6 springlock washers, and M6-1.0 nuts for the hopper guard. The rotor assembly includes triangular hammers and J-hammers, and chipping knives.

Usage Features:

  • Assembly: The manual provides detailed instructions for assembling the kickstand, wheels, chipper cone, hopper, hopper guard, handle, and debris bag. This includes specific bolt and washer sizes and placement.
  • Starting and Stopping: Users must refer to the engine manual for start-up and shut-down procedures. The engine should be running at full throttle before chipping. Stopping the engine is the only way to stop the rotor.
  • Feeding Material: For chipping, prune branches close to the main branch. Large, hard, or dried branches can be rotated for processing. Avoid inserting short pieces by hand; use a larger piece to push them in. For shredding, avoid overloading the hopper with large volumes. Alternate wet and dry material to prevent clogging.
  • Safety: Emphasized throughout the manual are critical safety warnings. Users must read and understand all instructions, wear sturdy footwear, safety goggles, and hearing protection. Loose clothing, sandals, sneakers, or open shoes are prohibited. The unit should not be operated by children or adults without proper instruction. It must be operated outdoors in daylight or good artificial light, on a stable surface, and never under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Hands and feet must be kept away from rotating parts and discharge openings. The debris bag must be in place during operation. The unit discharges debris at high speeds, so bystanders must be kept clear. Engine exhaust, wood dust, and gasoline vapors are identified as containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm (California Proposition 65 warning). Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with extreme care, only outdoors, away from ignition sources, and never with a hot or running engine.
  • Operating Location: Choose a firm, level, dirt or grass-covered area, clear of bystanders. Organize materials to avoid walking in front of inlet or discharge openings.
  • Fuel and Oil: Add engine oil before starting. Refer to the engine manual for specific oil and fuel recommendations. Do not use gasoline containing methanol, gasohol with more than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives, or white gas. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors, carefully, and wipe up spills immediately. Never store the unit with fuel in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area or near ignition sources.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines a comprehensive maintenance schedule for safety items, chipper components, and the engine.

  • Safety Items (Before Each Use, Every 5 Hours, Every 25 Hours, Every 100 Hours, Every 250 Hours, Spring & Fall):
    • Check for loose hardware.
    • Check all safety labels for damage or loss.
    • Inspect the chipper cone, hopper, and guards for damage and security.
  • Chipper Maintenance Items (Before Each Use, Every 5 Hours, Every 25 Hours, Every 100 Hours, Every 250 Hours, Spring & Fall):
    • Clean debris from the engine and chipper (more often in hot or dusty conditions).
    • Inspect/Rotate Shredding Hammers (Every 25 hours or as necessary). Triangular hammers can be rotated twice and flipped once for a total of 6 cutting surfaces. J-hammers can be flipped once for 2 cutting surfaces.
    • Inspect/Rotate Chipping Knives (Every 25 hours or as necessary). Knives can be rotated or sharpened.
  • Engine Maintenance: Refer to the engine manual for detailed instructions.
    • Check oil level before each start.
    • Change oil after the first 5-8 hours, then every 50 hours or yearly.
    • Check the spark plug yearly or every 50 hours.
    • Service the air cleaner.
    • Keep the engine and parts clean.
    • Check for loose nuts and bolts.
  • Cleaning Debris: Before each use and every 100 hours, clean debris from the unit, especially around the air shroud intake, air filter, and muffler. Every 100 hours, remove the engine air shroud and clean cooling fins.
  • Repair Procedures: Instructions are provided for rotating and replacing shredding hammers and sharpening/replacing chipping knives. This involves disconnecting the spark plug, detaching the rotor housing and hopper, and removing specific hardware. Users are warned about amputation and cutting hazards during these procedures.
  • Storage: Follow engine manual instructions for storage, including draining the fuel system or adding stabilizer. Do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure. Before restarting after storage, check all fluid levels and perform recommended checks.
