ENSURE THE DISCHARGE GRILLE IS IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
Increase engine to FULL throttle and allow the machine to build up to FULL speed.
Be very careful what you put into the hopper.
The shredder cannot handle the following:
•
Cloth
• String
•
Plastics
•
Glass
• Rubber
• Stones
• Bricks
• Large wood chunks
•
Metal
• Thick branches
• Long vines
NEVER be tempted to drop short end pieces into the hopper as the HAMMER BLADES will jam
causing damage to the drive system.
Wet green garden waste and wet grass clippings may require mixing in with some dry wood to
avoid clogging the shredder. If necessary move discharge grille lever to half open position when
shredding wet material.
Adding too much material at a time can clog the shredder - allow the machine to clear itself each
time.
DO NOT throw thin branches into the hopper with a spearing force as this will overfeed the
hammer blades and jam the machine.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH AND DRIVE
BELTS.
