These factors depend on what make and model engine comes with your particular unit. For these reasons, please refer to the engine operator’s manual for the correct starting procedure. 1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug. 2. Engines with choke lever: Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may not require choking). Engines with primer: Prime engine as instructed in separate engine manual. 3. The throttle control lever is located on the engine. Move engine throttle control lever to FAST or START position. See Figure 4-2. 4. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the flails and fingers, which are part of the shredding mechanism, and it should be expected until the impeller reaches full speed. 5. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Let rope rewind slowly. 6. Repeat the previous steps until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke control (if equipped) gradually to RUN position. Stopping Engine 1. Move throttle control lever to STOP or OFF position. 2. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and ground against the engine. NOTE: See your engine manual packed with your unit for more detailed instructions. Using The Chipper Shredder Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up through the hopper assembly for shredding. After material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into catcher bag. Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up to 3” (2” for Model Series 450) in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute. Lowering The Hopper Assembly 1. With one hand grasp the handle at the top of the hopper assembly and lift slightly. 2. With the other hand pull out on the release rod and lower the hopper assembly to the ground. See Figure 4-1. To Empty Bag 1. Un-clip drawstring and loosen bag from chute deflector opening. 2. Empty bag and reattach to the discharge chute opening. Pull on the drawstring until the bag is tight around the chute opening and clip the drawstring tight against the chute deflector. IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in SECTION 5: MAINTAINING YOUR CHIPPER SHREDDER. For best performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp. Operating Your Chipper Shredder NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle. This noise is caused by the flails and fingers, which are part of the shredding mechanism, and it should be expected until the impeller reaches full speed.
