7 Becoming Familiar W ith The Chipper/Shredder Each of the major components described below (see Figure 1) serve a specific function on the chipper/shred- der.
8 GENERAL All of the major assembly procedures on your new Chipper/Shredder were performed at the factory, and only the items listed in this section need to be taken care of to make your unit fully operational.
Attaching the Hopper 1. See Figure 4. Attach the hopper to the rotor hous- ing, using care to engage the metal lip of the hopper liner to the inside of the housing. 2. Secure the hopper to the rotor housing using (2) 5/16 x 1/2 hex head bolts and (2) 5/16 flat washers.
10 Attaching the Discharge Bag Your unit comes equipped with a bag for collecting debris as it exits the discharge chute. Shut off engine, wait for it to stop, pull and secure spark plug wire, See Figure 6 for installation. Assembling the Chipper/Shredder Figure 6.
CHECKS BEFORE ST ARTING 1. Inspect the chipper cone and shredder hopper for debris and other objects that may have fallen into the machine while the unit was stored, and remove them before starting the unit. Before reaching into the openings turn off the ignition and disconnect and secure the spark plug wire.
4. Electric start: Turn the ignition key to the start posi- tion. Crank the engine until it starts. Manual start: Pull recoil starter rope rope out and allow rope to return normally. Repeat until the engine starts. 5. Leave the throttle in the fast position for chipping and shredding.
GENERAL FUNCTIONS Your Chipper/Shredder is a multi-use tool for chipping tree limbs, shredding brush and leaves, and vacuuming up leaves and small organic materials. Learning how and when to use each function will increase the value of the Chipper/Shredder in your gardening tasks.
TIPS FOR BETTER CHIPPING DO’ s 1. Prune tree limbs and large branches to limit their size to the maximum diameter allowed. Pruning tree limbs and branches close to the main portion of the limb or branch will make feeding into the chipper cone easier, and will help you maintain control as the material is drawn into the chipper block.
15 PROPER TECHNIQUES FOR SHREDDING Leaves and Lightweight Organic Matter Place material to be shredded directly into the shredder hopper. Avoid large amounts of moist material that can cause shredded matter to build up in the discharge chute and prevent proper discharge.
16 TIPS FOR BETTER SHREDDING DO’ s 1. Process materials at a feeding rate that allows the rotor to keep turning at a consistently high rate of speed.
17 W aste Materials Guide Using Y our Chipper/Shredder Your chipper/shredder is designed to efficiently process a wide variety of organic yard and garden waste materi- als. To obtain consistent performance, extend the life of your unit, and help ensure safe operation, do not attempt to process non-organic materials.
18 Keeping your chipper/shredder in top running condition will prolong its life, and help you obtain optimum perfor- mance whenever you wish to chip or shred yard or gar- den waste. Regular Maintenance Please read the normal care schedule below, and observe these recommended care operating intervals to extend the life of your unit.
19 General The following information will help you make the neces- sary checks and perform the procedures required to fol- low the normal care recommendations made for your chipper/shredder unit. Your local authorized dealer can make these checks and perform the required procedures for you.
20 Regular Maintenance CHANGING THE SP ARK PLUG An annual spark plug change is an inexpensive preven- tive measure that can help keep your unit running prop- erly throughout the year. Only replace the spark plug with the same model plug or equivalent.
21 AIR FIL TER REPLACEMENT/SERVICE The engine air filter element filters and removes airborne dirt, dust, and other work site debris from the air before it can enter the carburetor and damage sensitive fuel pas- sages.
22 LUBE ST ARTER DRIVE GEAR The starter drive gear should be lubricated once a year or every 100 hours, or as needed. Lubricate the drive gear with a light weight oil.
23 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 oper- ator. The hopper guards must always be intact and properly installed to provide protection from ejected pieces.
24 CHECK SAFETY LABELS Safety warning decals are placed at strategic locations on the chipper/shredder as a constant reminder to the operator of the most important safety precautions. All Warning, Danger, Caution, and instructional messages on your chipper.
25 TROUBLESHOOTING While normal care and regular maintenance will extend the life of your chipper/shredder, prolonged or constant use may eventually require that service be performed to allow it to continue operating properly. The troubleshooting guide below lists the most common problems, their causes and remedies.
26 REP AIR SHREDDING HAMMERS The cutting edges of the shredding hammers may even- tually wear out, requiring rotation of the hammers, or complete replacement if all cutting edges have been used. Triangular hammers can be rotated five times after the first edge dulls, then flipped over once and rotated again for a total of six cutting edges.
27 4. Using leather work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges, carefully rotate the rotor counterclock- wise until the first worn hammer is at the top posi- tion. 5. Before proceeding, note the assembly sequence of the hammer, spacer, spacer tube, and hardware.
28 CHIPPING KNIVES Chipping knives should be resharpened or replaced when tree limbs and branches require extra force to feed completely into the chipper block. Chipping knives may be resharpened until the distance between the mounting holes and the top corner of the blade bevel is 1/16” apart.
29 29 4. Using a 1/4” hex wrench, loosen and remove the two socket head cap screws holding the chipper knife in place (access the screw heads from the rear of the unit), and remove the chipper knife.
30 T roubleshooting & Repair 8. Reattach the shredder hopper and chipper cone using the hardware removed during disassembly. Replace any hardware that appears to be damaged or worn excessively. 9. Check all hardware for tightness and correct assem- bly before attempting to start your unit.
31 T roubleshooting & Repair WARNING Never use a malfunctioning unit to process material, even if it appears to be chipping materi- al adequately — AN UNEXPECTED KICK-BACK COULD OCCUR, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO YOU OR BYSTANDERS.
