Safety Rules & Information  
Operating Safety  
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of  
lawn and garden equipment. Our products are designed and  
manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for  
safety.  
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is  
misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!  
Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of  
those around you.  
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If  
you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can  
be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a  
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.  
Read the Manual  
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware  
of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.  
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and  
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most  
out of your equipment investment.  
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the  
following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.  
Children  
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them  
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often  
attracted to the unit and usage activity. Never assume  
that children will remain where you last saw them. If there  
is a risk that children may enter the area where you are  
operating, have another responsible adult watch them.

Safety Rules and Information  
Moving Parts  
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or  
someone else. However, if you follow all the rules in this book, the  
unit is safe to operate.  
The chipper/shredder has spinning blades that can amputate  
hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is  
running! Do not place hands or feet in the hopper or chipper cone,  
or discharge chute.  
Thrown Objects  
This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear protective goggles and  
do not operate without the debris bag in place. Also, do not allow anyone in the  
area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off  
immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to starting work.  
Fuel and Maintenance  
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and  
can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not  
as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors  
can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an  
approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the fuel tank with the cap securely closed.  
Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.  
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be  
sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially  
periodically testing the safety system.

Features and Controls  
Figure 1. Controls  
Control Functions  
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Operating requires the combined use of several controls  
applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION  
section.  
engine Stop / Throttle Control  
Fuel Tank  
To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.  
The engine stop / throttle control lever controls turn the  
engine off and controls the engine speed. Move the throttle  
right to increase engine speed and left to decrease engine  
speed. Moving the lever all the way to the left stops the  
engine. Always operate at FULL throttle (lever fully right).  
Chipper Cone / Shredder Hopper  
Chipper Cone: The chipper cone is located on the front of  
the unit next to the engine. Insert branches and tree limbs  
up to approximately 3(7.6 cm) in diameter into the chipper  
cone. NEVER insert hands past the mouth of the cone.  
Recoil Starter  
The recoil starter is used to turn the engine over for starting.  
Shredder Hopper: The shredder hopper is on top of the  
unit. Leaves and other light waste can be loaded into the  
shredder hopper. NEVER insert hands into the hopper .  
Fuel Shut-Off valve  
The fuel shut-off valve is located below the air cleaner  
housing. Always close the valve when the unit is not in use.  
Debris Bag: Use the debris bag to collect the material  
discharged from the unit. Do not operate the unit without  
the debris bag in place.

general Operating Safety  
DANgeR  
Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation  
sections before attempting to operate this unit. Become  
familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.  
The exhaust from this product contains carbon  
monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,  
orderless, and tasteless gas that can cause dizziness,  
nausea, unconsciousness, or even brain damage and  
death if inhaled for prolonged periods.  
Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-  
to-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-hammers  
positioning themselves on the rotor. This is normal. If  
this sound continues after the machine has reached full  
speed, contact your dealer for an inspection of the unit.  
Overloading the equipment will shorten its life, and can  
cause mechanical failures.  
Operate the unit outdoors in a well ventilated  
location only. Keep children, pets, and bystanders  
away.  
Failure to follow these instructions may result in  
serious injury or death.  
Chipper Operation  
The chipper is designed to handle tree limbs and branches  
up to approximately 3(7,6 cm) in diameter. The chipping  
knives also permit the processing of course organic matter  
like corn stalks. Tree branches must be inserted large-end  
first into the chipper cone. Since occasional kick-backs may  
occur, always stand off to the side of the unit. Allow the self-  
feeding action of the unit to draw the sticks in.  
Adding Fuel  
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,  
gasohol containing more than 10% ETHANOL,  
gasoline additives, or white gas because  
engine/fuel system damage could result.  
Shredder Operation  
The shredder is designed to shred light brush, leaves, and  
other soft but bulky organic waste. As material is loaded  
into the shredder hopper it is pulled into the path of the  
triangular and J-hammers by air flow.  
WARNINg  
gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled  
with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still  
hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame,  
smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling  
and wipe up any spills.

In addition to the chipper cone and hopper, loose debris

To add fuel:  
1. Remove the fuel cap (see Figure 1).  
2. Fill the tank. Do not overfill. Leave room in the tank for

fuel recommendations.  
To avoid serious personal injury from rotating cutting  
blades, keep hands out of inlet while machine is

will draw them into the shredder. For hard-to-reach areas,  
the nozzle and hose assembly may be used. The strength of  
the Vacuum may be changed using the rotating sleeve on  
the nozzle. (See Vacuum Kit parts explosion on page 28.)  
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.  
Starting the engine  
1. Set the throttle to FULL.  
2. Close the choke.  
Operating location  
NOTE: A warm engine may not require choking.  
3. Place one foot on the front support leg to hold the unit  
firmly in place.  
4. Pull the starting rope out to begin turning the engine  
over. Pull slowly at first and increase speed with each  
successive pull.  
Select an area with firm, level ground, covered by dirt or  
grass. Do not operate on wet or slick surfaces, or near  
bystanders. Locate and organize the materials to be  
processed so that you don’t have to walk in front of the inlet  
or discharge openings, and so you have adequate room to  
work safely.  
5. After the engine starts, open the choke and move the  
engine throttle control to SLOW. Warm up the engine by

6. Set throttle to FULL and begin chipping/shredding.  
Stopping the engine  
NOTE: In the event of an emergency the engine can be stopped  
by setting the throttle control to STOP.  
1. Slide the throttle control fully left to the STOP position.  
NOTE: Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the metal-  
to-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-hammers  
positioning themselves on the rotor. This is normal.  
2. After the engine has stopped moving, remove the spark  
plug wire and remove any debris from the unit and  
engine.  
Processing Materials  
Most materials to be processed can be handled more  
efficiently by following these tips.  
Chipping Tips:  
• Prune branches down close to the main branch to make  
feeding them into the chipper cone easier.  
Figure 2. Chipping.  
• Large, hard, dried tree branches that resist chipping can  
be processed by rotating them as you alternately insert  
and retract them.  
• If the material to be chipped is extremely hard, kicks  
back forcefully when being fed into the chipper cone,  
or cannot be easily controlled, remove the material  
immediately and set it aside.  
• If additional force is required to insert materials into the  
chipper, the blades probably need to be sharpened.  
Consult the Troubleshooting and Repair section of this  
manual, or see your authorized dealer.  
• Maintain control of the materials you are feeding to  
prevent them from whipping around.  
• Do not insert short pieces of material into the chipper  
cone by hand. Use a larger piece of material to force  
them into the chipper cone.  
Shredding Tips  
• Don’t overload the shredder by dumping large volumes  
of material into the hopper opening.  
• Alternate loads of wet and dry material to prevent the  
discharge from becoming plugged.  
• Never use any object to force material into the shredding  
chamber. It could get caught in the shredding hammers  
and damage the unit.

Storage  
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the  
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules  
section, then perform the following steps:  
• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures  
listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes  
draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel  
(do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see  
warning).  
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:  
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.  
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures found  
in the engine owner’s manual.  
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before

Troubleshooting & Repair  
Troubleshooting Chart  
WARNINg  
While normal care and regular maintenance will extend  
the life of your equipment, prolonged or constant use may  
eventually require that service be performed to allow it to  
continue operating properly.  
To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the  
unit only when the engine is stopped.  
Always disconnect the spark plug wire and fasten  
it away from the plug before beginning the  
maintenance, to prevent accidental starting of the  
engine.  
The troubleshooting guide below lists the most common  
problems, their causes, and remedies.  
See the information on the following pages for instructions  
on how to perform most of these minor adjustments and
