IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY DECALS This unit has been designed and manufactured to provide you with the safety and reliability. Although reading this manual and the safety instructions it contains will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge to operate this equipment safely and effectively, we have placed several safety labels on the unit to remind you of this important information while you are operating your unit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws. NEVER operate the machine without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance, repairs, or attachment of accessories while the unit is running. Always shut the unit off, allow the rotor to come to a complete stop, and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug before beginning these activities. ALWAYS make sure that the shredding chamber, shredder hopper, and chipper cone are empty before starting the unit after it has been idle.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate container and away from any fire hazards. Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing &Materials.
ASSEMBLY INSTALL KICK STAND 1. Position the kick stand (A) underneath the engine with the loop of the kick stand pointing away from the wheel axle (B). 2. Using the four M8-1.25 X 40 bolts (C), eight M8 washers (D) and four M8-1.25 nuts (E), secure the kick stand to the base plate of the engine. INSTALL THE WHEELS 1. Slide the wheel onto the axle (B). 2. Slide the 12mm washer (A) onto the axle so that it sits against the wheel. 3. Insert the cotter pin (C) into the hole in the end of the axle.
ASSEMBLY INSTALL THE HOPPER GAURD 1. Hold the hopper guard assembly (A) so that the rubber guard is directed down towards the bottom of the hopper. Align the assembly holes with the holes in the hopper. 2. Using the three M6-1.0 x 16 bolts (B), M6 springlock washers (C) and M6-1.0 nuts (D), secure the guard assembly (A) to the hopper. Insert the bolts with washers from the outside of the shredder hopper. INSTALL THE HANDLE 1.
OPERATION Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this unit. Become familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit. Check all hardware (bolts, screws, etc) before every use for tightness to be sure machine is in safe working condition. Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-to-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-hammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This is normal.
OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE 1. See engine manual for start up instructions. 2. Ensure engine is running full throttle before beginning chipping operation. On some engines, the throttle may not be adjustable. STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. See engine manual for shut down procedure. 2. Stopping the engine is the only way to stop the rotor from turning. With engines equipped with an adjustable throttle, move the throttle to the SLOW position and wait for engine to be running a slow RPM.
STORAGE AND TROUBLESHOOTING TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE 1. ALWAYS observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage. 2. NEVER store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals. 3. ALWAYS use the hopper handle and built-in wheels to move the chipper shredder.
MAITENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your unit. ENGINE MAINTENANCE Refer to the engine manual included in your parts packet for information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual provides information and a maintenance schedule for performing the following tasks: 1. Always check oil level before starting engine. Refer to engine manual for capacity and type of oil to use. 2. Change oil after first 5-8 hours of operation.
MAITENANCE INSPECT / ROTATE SHREDDING HAMMERS Service Interval: Every 25 Hours, or As Necessary. The shredding hammers of this unit can be rotated to provide a new cutting surface as required. The triangular hammers can be rotated twice, then flipped over for a total of 6 sharp cutting surfaces. The J-hammers can be flipped over once. To inspect the shredding hammers: 1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the spark plug. SEE FIGURE 12 2.
MAITENANCE INSPECT CHIPPING KNIVES Service Interval: Every 25 hours, or as necessary The chipping knives of this unit can be rotated or sharpened to provide a new cutting surface as required. When inspecting the knives be careful to avoid touching the sharpened edges. To inspect the chipping knives: 1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the spark plug. SEE FIGURE 12 2.
