Assembly 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder ASSEMBLY Your chipper-shredder requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation. If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your chippershredder, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. Unpacking 1. Set the shipping crate on a solid, flat surface. 2.
Assembly 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder Add Engine Oil 3. Thread the M6 lock nut onto the threaded stud to secure the chute deflector to the discharge chute. CAUTION 4. From both sides, insert a knob bolt through the slotted hole on the chute deflector and into the threaded hole on the discharge chute. Select your desired position for the chute deflector and then hand tighten the knob bolts to secure the chute deflector in place.
Assembly 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder CAUTION The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level. NOTICE We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the breakin period for the engine. During the break in period we recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used but is not required.
Operation 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder NOTICE WARNING Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting: During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied, or if the chipper-shredder is blocked or contained, temperatures can become extremely heated and may lead to fire.
Operation 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder Before Each Use Inspect the ChipperShredder 3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position. 1. Always make sure the spark plug wire has been disconnected and engine has been grounded. 2. Always visually inspect all attachments and chutes for loose fittings, cracks, fraying or other damage. 3. DO NOT operate the chipper-shredder if there is any indication of damage to parts or the unit. 4.
Operation 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder 6. Make sure the materials that are going to be chipped or shredded are free of any rocks, trash, metals and other foreign objects. NOTICE Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke lever to the “RUN” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
Operation 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder Chipping and Shredding Tips NOTICE Chipping After all material has been processed it is recommended that the unit run for short period of time to clear out any left over material that may still be in the chutes or flail housing. 1. Make sure wood is less than 3 in. (7.6 cm) in diameter. 2. Make sure wood is dry. 3. Make sure all smaller branches have been pruned for the wood. Clearing the Shredder Hopper 4.
Maintenance 200946 - 3 in. (7.6 cm) Chipper Shredder Operation at High Altitude Under Normal Operation 1. Move the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and chipper-shredder output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine.
