Use and Care Manual

If the engine is hot,
closing the choke is not
necessary.
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull
your handand arm toward the engine faster than you
can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
5. Move the throttle lever slightly
to the FAST speed.
DISENGAGING THE BELT DRIVE
For easy starting of the engine, disengage the belt drive by pushing
down the lever at the back of the housing.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Make sure the belt tension lever is disengaged.
2. Move the engine switch to the
ON position.
3. Open the fuel shut-off valve.
4. Move the choke lever to the
CLOSED position.
6. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has become
difcult to pull. Let the recoil return to the home position,
then pull quickly to start the engine. Repeat steps as needed.
Fully open the choke and set the throttle to the FAST position,
before operating the unit.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system components,
required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that
will only function properly when the fuel tank has
been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling
may cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling to the
recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while
lling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended
fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when lling the tank. Do not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view
of the tank lling process.
2. Remove the fuel ller cap and ll the tank. (See engine manual
for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and location of fuel cap.)
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.

OPERATING
After the engine warms up, pull the throttle lever to accelerate
engine speed.
As the engine is increased slowly to full speed, gradually and
slowly pull the belt tension lever as far as it will go to engage the
belt drive. This has to be done slowly to allow the cutting disk to
pick up speed, otherwise the engine will stall because there is high
inertia in the cutting disk.
The chipper shredder can process a wide variety of dry or green
organic materials such as branches, stalks, vines, leaves, roots,
and vegetable matter. The maximum capacity is 3-inch diameter
branches, this can vary depending on the type and hardness of
wood. Rotating the branch as you feed it into the machine will
improve performance.
