Safe Handling of Gasoline:

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

a. Use only an approved gasoline container.

b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

c. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.

If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

f. Never fuel machine indoors.

g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

i. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

j. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. k. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.

l. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

Operation

1. Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.

2. Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed intake, and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.

3. Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could cause personal injury or damage to the machine.

WARNING: The operation of any chipper shredder can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear the safety glasses provided with this unit or eye shields before chipping or shredding and while performing any adjustments or repairs.

Starting Engine

IMPORTANT: Because this manual covers several different model units, different starting instructions may apply to your particular engine. Some engines may have a fuel petcock, some may not.

Some engines may have On/Off switches, other may not. Some units will utilize a choke system, while others will require priming.

These factors depend on what make and model engine comes with your particular unit. For these reasons, please refer to the engine operator’s manual for the correct starting procedure.

Basic Starting Procedure:

1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over metal tip on the spark plug.

2. Open fuel shut-off valve (If equipped) and make sure the

On/Off switch is in the On position (if equipped).

3. Move choke control lever to CHOKE position, if equipped.

See Figure 5-1. If the unit has a primer, prime the motor as instructed in the engine operator’s manual.

NOTE: A warm engine may not require choking or priming.

4. Move throttle control lever to FAST position (if equipped).

See Figure 5-1.

NOTE: A “clanking” noise may be heard when pulling the starter rope. It is completely normal and does NOT indicate a malfunction of any kind.

6. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Let rope rewind slowly.

7. Repeat the previous steps until engine starts. When engine starts, move choke control gradually to RUN position until the engine is running smoothly.

WARNING: Never run the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

Stopping Engine

1. Move throttle control lever to STOP position (if equipped) or push rocker switch to OFF. See Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-1

5. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point).

Shredding

Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be placed in the hopper for shredding. After material has been processed by the shredder blade and flails, it will be forced out of the chute deflector, and, if attached, into a debris collection bag.

Observe the following guidelines when shredding yard debris:

• Never attempt to shred material other than normal yard debris (leaves, twigs, pine cones, etc.).

•

•

Avoid shredding fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Fresh vines do not shred well and tend to wrap themselves around the impeller and flails.

Place reasonable amounts of debris into the hopper at a time. Do not overload the hopper.

•

•

Allow the material in the hopper to be drawn into the blades and shredded before adding additional debris to the hopper. Failure to due so may result in a clogged hopper, clogged chute deflector or a stalled engine.

Avoid placing twigs longer than 24 inches into the hopper.

Twigs longer than 24 inches may result in a clogged hopper.

IMPORTANT: Never place branches with a diameter greater than 1/2-inch in the hopper. Doing so can result in serious damage to the unit’s shredder blade, flails or impeller.

Clearing the Hopper

Should the hopper become clogged with debris during operation, proceed as follows:

1. Grasp the handle with both hands and gently agitate the chipper shredder to help loosen debris, drawing it into the impeller.

If the clog does not clear, proceed as follows:

1. Stop engine.

2. Use your hands to remove any debris found near the top of the hopper.

3. Use a branch (or other available device, i.e. broomstick) to dislodge debris located toward the base of the hopper.

4. Restart engine.

NOTE: If you’re unable to pull the starter rope as a result of accumulated debris near the impeller, follow instructions under the heading Cleaning the Reduction Chamber in the

“Maintainenance & Adjustments” section of this manual.

Chipping

WARNING: Never operate the chipper shredder without chipper chute lowered into the operating position.

Branches up to two inches (model series CS 2310) or three inches (model series CS 3310) in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute. Observe the following guidelines when chipping branches:

• Keep both hands firmly on the branch as you feed it into the chipper chute.

•

•

Never feed more than one branch into the chipper chute at a time.

Never feed anything other than branches (or wood) into the chipper chute.

• Apply intermittent pressure (force, in short pulses) while feeding larger branches into the chipper chute, to avoid bogging or stalling the engine.

IMPORTANT: Never feed branches with a diameter greater than two (2) inches (Model Series CS 2310) or three (3) inches (model series CS 3310) 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.
