  If your Yard-Man Chippers/Shredders unit isn't discharging, consider these possibilities: 1. The discharge chute may be clogged. Stop the engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clean the flail screen and inside of the discharge opening. 2. A foreign object may be lodged in the impeller. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object. 3. The engine RPM may be too low. Always run the engine at full throttle. 4. The vacuum bag might be full. Empty the bag.
