Caution:
Before starting to shred, always run through the checklist below.
Checklist
• Check the oil level of the machine. (See § 11.4.1.1)
• Ensure there is enough fuel in the tank. If necessary, fi ll up the tank with fuel. (Tank capacity: 20 L)
For your information:
The engine runs on petrol. Always select the better type of petrol that
will ensure a better combustion in the engine. (Lead-free 98 octane.)
• Verify that the air fi lter has not been contaminated too much (see § 11.4.3).
• Satisfy yourself that the shredding knives are fi rmly in place and in good condition. If they
need to be sharpened, this must be done fi rst (see § 11.5.2). If you detect cracks or fractures in a
blade, this blade must be immediately replaced (see § 11.5.3.2).
• Verify that all of the machine’s safety items are operating correctly (see §7.2).
Once these items have been checked and approved, you can prepare the area of operation
(see § 9.3)
and move the machine to the work site.
