2

•

Do

not

allow

an

accumulation

of

processed

material

to

build

up

and

can

result

in

kickback

from

the

chipper

chute.

•

Keep

your

face

and

body

back

from

chipper

chute

to

avoid

accidental

bounce

back

of

any

material.

•

If

the

cutting

mechanism

strikes

a

foreign

object

or

if

your

machine

should

start

making

an

unusual

noise

or

vibration,

immediately

stop

the

engine,

disconnect

the

spark

plug

wire

and

move

the

wire

away

from

the

spark

plug.

cause

a

bum.

Do

not

touch.

•

Do

not

allow

leaves

or

other

debris

to

build

up

on

engine’s

muffler.

The

a

fire.

•

Do

not

operate

engine

if

air

cleaner

or

cover

over

carburetor

air

intake

is

removed,

except

for

adjustment.

Removal

of

such

parts

could

create

a

fire

hazard.

2.

CHILDREN

Tragic

accidents

can

occur

if

the

operator

is

not

alert

to

the

presence

of

small

children.

Children

are

often

attracted

to

the

chipping

and

vacuuming

activity.

Never

assume

that

children

will

remain

where

you

last

saw

them.

•

Keep

children

out

of

the

work

area

and

under

the

watchful

eye

of

a

responsible

adult

other

than

the

operator.

•

Be

alert

and

turn

the

unit

off

if

a

child

enters

the

area.

•

Never

allow

result

in

foreign

objects

being

thrown

into

the

eyes,

which

can

damage

your

eyes

severely.

Always

wear

the

safety

glasses

provided

with

this

TO

ENGAGE

DRIVE

IMPORTANT:

Always

release

the

drive

clutch

handle

before

moving

the

shift

lever.

With

the

engine

running

at

top

speed,

move

shift

lever

into

one

of

the

six

FORWARD

positions

or

two

REVERSE

positions.

Select

a

speed

appropriate

for

the

conditions

that

exist.

Use

the

slower

speeds

until

you

are

familiar

with

the

operation

of

the

chipper-

vacuum.

To

engage

the

wheel

drive,

hold

the

drive

clutch

handle

against

the

chipper-vacuum

handle.

Releasing

the

drive

clutch

handle

stops

the

wheels

from

driving.

Release

the

drive

clutch

handle

to

slow

down

when

negotiating

an

obstacle,

making

a

turn

or

stopping.

Engage

slowly

to

prevent

front

wheels

from

lifting

up.

HOW

TO

USE

THE

CHIPPER

Do

not

attempt

to

shred

or

chip

any

material

other

than

vegetation

found

in

a

normal

yard

(i.e.,

branches,

leaves,

twigs,

etc.).

Material

such

as

stalks

or

heavy

branches

up

to

3“

in

diameter

may

be

fed

into

the

chipper

chute.

See

Figure

11.

CARBURETOR

ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

Material

up

to

a

maximum

of

3"

in

diameter

may

be

fed

into

the

chipper

chute.

Do

not

attempt

to

shred

or

chip

any

material

larger

than

3"

in

diameter.

Personal

injury

or

damage

to

the

machine

could

result.

Use

the

tamper

plug

(if

so

equipped)

to

push

material

into

the

chipper

chute.

See

Figure

8.

NEVER

PLACE

HANDS

INSIDE

CHIPPER

CHUTE.

Place

tamper

plug

inside

chipper

chute

when

not

in

use

to

deaden

the

sound.

IMPORTANT:

There

is

a

flail

screen

located

inside

the

housing

in

the

discharge

area.

If

the

flail

screen

becomes

clogged,

remove

and

clean

as

instructed

in

the

Maintenance

section

on

page

11.

For

best

performance,

it

is

important

to

keep

the

chipper

blades

sharp.

Refer

to

Maintenance

section,

page

11.

If

the

composition

of

the

material

being

discharged

changes

(becomes

stringy,

etc.)

or

if

the

rate

at

which

the

material

is

discharged

slows

down

considerably,

it

is

likely

that

the

chipper

blades

are

dull

and

need

to

be

sharpened

or

replaced.

SECTION

7:

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Do

not

at

any

time

make

any

adjustment

to

the

unit

without

first

stopping

engine

and

disconnecting

spark

plug

wire.

HEIGHT

ADJUSTMENT

The

height

adjustment

knob

is

located

on

the

right

hand

side

of

the

chipper-vacuum.

See

figure

12.

Turn

the

knob

clockwise

to

raise

the

nozzle.

Turn

the

knob

counterclockwise

to

lower.

(Be

careful

not

to

turn

knob

too

far—rod

could

come

out

of

ferrule.)

The

best

height

for

the

nozzle

will

vary

according

to

the

conditions.

Adjust

the

height

of

the

nozzle

to

find

the

setting

which

gives

the

best

performance

for

the

operating

conditions.

In

general,

raise

the

nozzle

to

vacuum

a

thick

layer

of

leaves;

lower

the

nozzle

for

smooth

surfaces.

WARNING:

If

any

adjustments

are

A

made

to

the

engine

while

the

engine

is

running

(e.g.,

carburetor),

keep

clear

of

all

moving

parts.

Be

careful

of

heated

surfaces

and

muffler.

Minor

carburetor

adjustment

may

be

required

to

compensate

for

differences

in

fuel,

temperature,

altitude

or

load.

Do

not

make

unnecessary

adjustments.

Factory

settings

are

satisfactory

for

most

applications

and

conditions.

If

adjustment

is

needed,

refer

to

the

separate

engine

manual

packed

with

your

chipper-vacuum.

NOTE:

A

dirty

air

cleaner

will

cause

engine

to

run

rough.

Be

certain

air

cleaner

is

clean

and

attached

to

the

carburetor

before

adjusting

carburetor.
