manual abstract
Lubricate Wheel Axles The low profile and excellent balance of the unit makes transporting it easy, but constant exposure to dirt, debris, and chipper/shredder materials requires routine lubrication of the wheels. To lubricate, squirt 3-5 drops of SAE 30 oil on each wheel axle. Wipe up any run-off and spin wheels briefly to work oil around entire axle. Check Safety Labels The safety labels located in various positions on the chipper/ shredder have been placed to help remind you of important safety rules while you are running the chipper/ shredder unit. While these labels are extremely durable, constant abrasion from tree limbs and branches can eventually affect their readability. Check each label to make sure it is still properly affixed to the chipper/shredder, and is still completely legible. Not for If any label can’t be read or is missing, contact your local dealer for an immediate replacement. If you must use the unit without the label, review the label information in the “Safety Labels” section of this manual. Inspect Starter Rope/Handle The recoil starter rope and handle should be inspected for signs of abrasion or wear that could result in breakage. Don’t use worn out parts, since they could break while tension is applied to the rope, throwing you off balance. Contact your local authorized dealer for replacement if these parts need to be replaced. Inspect Chipper Cone & Shredder Hopper The chipper cone and shredder hopper are made of a highly durable polyethylene material that can withstand repeated abrasion and impact from normal chipper/shredder waste material processing. Check these parts to make sure that they haven’t been damaged or worn excessively by constant use, and replace them if they are cracked, worn out, or no longer fit securely on the chipper/shredder unit. Cracks, worn areas, and loose attachment points can cause material to jam or clog when feeding it into the machine, and may result in kick-back or other hazard to the operator. Contact your local dealer for replacement parts if your unit shows any evidence of these problems, and discontinue use of the unit until the appropriate repairs can be made. Never try to make temporary repairs yourself, as the repairs could give way during chipper/shredder operation, and expose you and bystanders in the area to risk of injury. Never attempt to install non-factory parts on your chipper/ shredder unit. These parts could appear to fit, but could cause operating and safety problems that might lead to equipment damage and/or injury. Inspect Hopper Guards The hopper guards are made of a tough, flexible material that permits easy loading of the hopper, while preventing shredded pieces from being ejected out toward the operator. The hopper guards must always be intact and properly installed to provide protection from ejected pieces. If a hopper guard becomes damaged in use, do not operate the chipper/shredder until the hopper guard can be replaced. Contact your local authorized dealer for replacement parts. 20 TEMPORARY STORAGE (30 Days Or Less) Remember, the chipper/shredder fuel tank probably will still contain some gasoline, so never store the chipper/ shredder indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the chipper/shredder in any structure used for human or animal habitation. Here’s a quick checklist of things to do when storing your chipper/shredder temporarily, or between uses: • Store the unit in a location where there’s no danger of overhead objects falling into the chipper cone or shredder hopper. • Keep the unit in an area away from where children may come into contact with it. If there’s any chance of unauthorized use, remove the spark plug, and put it in a safe place. Be sure to protect the spark plug opening from foreign objects with a suitable cover. • Never put the unit away while the engine is still hot from running. Let the engine cool down first to prevent the chance of fire. • Never try to lift or position the unit in the storage area by holding the fuel tank. Always let the engine and muffler cool completely before allowing yourself to contact these parts. • If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonably level surface, use a block of wood to chock the wheels. Never store the Chipper/Shredder where it will not be in a stable position. • Never tip the unit more than 75° from vertical, and never lay the unit down on its side, as this could cause fuel leakage, and/or undesirable oil transfer into the cylinder head and spark plug area. Excessive oil in the cylinder head will prevent unit from starting properly. • Overhead objects that fall into shredder hopper may cause damage to the unit or serious injury to user and others if not detected before unit is started. LONG TERM STORAGE (Longer Than 30 Days) Your chipper/shredder can be safely stored during off- seasons by following these simple storage instructions: • Drain fuel system completely fol...
