• Apply intermittent pressure (force, in short pulses)
while feeding larger (2- 3-inch diameter) branches
into the chipper chute, to avoid bogging or stalling
the engine.
IMPORTANT: Never feed branches with a diameter
greater than three (3) inches into the chipper chute.
Doing so can result in serious damage to your unit’s
chipper blades, flails or impeller.
NOTE: For best performance, always operate the unit
with sharp chipper blades. If a noticeable loss in
performance is encountered while chipping branches,
the chipper blades should be replaced.

• Squeeze the locking buckle release the bag’s
