-
wise direction until
it comes to a stop.
Starting the engine:
1.
Turn the fuel valve onto the ON position
2.

the air temperature is high)
3.
Move the throttle lever to the half way position
4.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position
5.
Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly
6.

Shutdown Procedure
1.
Push the throttle control lever to the idle position
2.
Turn the switch to STOP
3.

Operation
Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of the
machine when feeding material into it.
Feed only clean material into the machine. Foreign matter like soil, sand, grit, stones, pieces of metal, etc. will
damage the sharp edge of the cutting knives. Root balls and dead wood will also blunt the blades quickly.
Operating the machine with blunt blades causes excessive vibration which may result in damage to the machine.
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or
vibration, immediately shut off the engine and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the
