Starting the Engine
1.
Ensure that the Fuel Shut-Off Valve is in the “ON” position
(
Figure 10
).
2.
Move the Choke Control Lever to the “CHOKE” position if the engine is cold
(
Figure 12
). Leave it in the RUN position if the engine is already warm.
3.
Move the Throttle Control Lever to about half way between Slow and Fast
position (
Figure 13
).
4.
Slowly pull the Starter Cord until you feel resistance, then pull quickly
(
Figure 14
). The Cord will recoil back into position.
5.
As the engine warms up, slowly adjust the Choke to the “Run” position
(
Figure 12
). Wait until the engine runs smoothly before each Choke
adjustment.
6.
When the Engine is warmed up and running smoothly with the Choke in
the RUN” position, move the Throttle Control Lever to the fast position
(rabbit icon) for chipping (
Figure 13
).
Stopping the Engine
The flywheel will still rotate for A WHILE after the engine is shut off. Shut
down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop,
remove spark plug wire, then wait 5 minutes before moving or working on the
chipper.
Never stop the engine by moving the choke lever to the choke position.
This could cause an engine backfire resulting in engine damage.
Figure 14
1. Slowly move the Throttle Control Lever all the way to the
“STOP” position (Figure 14).
Note:
Close the Fuel Shut-Off Valve when transporting or storing the machine.
Moving the MACKISSIC GRAVITY SELF FEEDING
CHIPPER
The MACKISSIC GRAVITY SELF FEEDING CHIPPER can be easily moved
using the Transport Handle. The Chipper can also be moved by a tractor with
the Pin-Hitch Package
installed (see Chapter 7, “Chipper Accessories”).
Never try to pick up, move, or transport the machine while the engine is
running, or the flywheel is turning. Shut down the engine, wait for all
moving parts to come to a complete stop (the flywheel will continue
rotating for a while after the engine is shut down), disconnect spark plug
wire, keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting,
then wait 5 minutes before moving.
