4.   Move the throttle le

ver slightly to the 
FAST speed.

5.   Pull the recoil starter until engine compress

ion has become difficult to pull. Let the rec
oil return to the home position, then pull qu
ickly to start the engine. Repeat steps as ne
eded. Fully open the choke and set the thr

the unit.

1.    The engine must be off and allowed to cool 

at least two minutes before adding fuel.

2.    Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. 

(See engine manual for fuel capacity, fuel 
recommendation, and location of fuel cap.)

3.     Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always

Operating

After starting the engine and letting it idle for 
one minute, slowly move the Throttle Control 
Lever to the fast setting until the engine has 
accelerated to the highest RPM.

This chipper can process tree limbs, branches, 
and organic matter (such as corn stalks). Tree 
branches must be inserted with the large, cut 
end first into the Chipper Cone Opening. As the 
unit chips the load, there will be some occasional 
debris kickback. Always stand away from the 
unit and allow the self-feeding action pull the 
load to the cutting disc.

The chipper shredder is designed to break down 
and shred light brush, leaves, and soft but bulky 
organic waste. Load this type of material (no 
larger than 1cm in diameter) into the top of the 
Feed Hopper. The material is then pulled into the 
cutting chamber by air flow.

Starting Engine

1.    Move the engine 

switch to the ON 
position.

2.   Open the fuel shut-

off valve. 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!

This equipment and/or its engine 
may include evaporative emissions 
c o n t r o l   s y s t e m   c o m p o n e n t s , 
required to meet EPA and/or CARB 
regulations, that will only function 
properly when the fuel tank has been 
filled to the recommended level. 
Overfilling may cause permanent 
damage to evaporative emissions 
control system components. Filling 
to the recommended level ensures 
a vapor gap required to allow for 
fuel expansion. Pay close attention 
while filling the fuel tank to ensure 
that the recommended fuel level 
inside the tank is not exceeded. Use 
a portable gasoline container with an 
appropriately sized dispensing spout 
when filling the tank. Do not use a 
funnel or other device that obstructs 
the view of the tank filling process.

Rapid retraction of the starter cord 
(kickback) will pull your handand arm 
toward the engine faster than you 
can let go. Broken bones, fractures, 
bruises, or sprains could result.

3.   Move the choke 

lever to the CLOSED 
position.
