COMPOST
Vacuumed leaves, grass and other organic material from your own yard can be emptied into a pile or composter to
provide enriched soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds
NOTE: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living plants.
CHIPPER OPERATION (TKV only)
Your TKV chipper is designed to process tree branches and limbs up to 2"
(50.8mm) diameter.
Several small branches can be grouped together and fed together into the
chipper (see figure right).
When feeding forked branches, squeeze forks together and feed into chipper
entrance (DO NOT overload). If forks are too large, use a pair of loppers to trim
forks down to size. A lopper storage bracket is provided on every unit (loppers
are not included)
Clearing a clogged chipper (TKV only)
Under normal circumstances, allow time for machine to clear all wood
from chipper hopper before stopping engine. Otherwise, remaining
pieces of wood will jam inside of chipper when engine stops. (See
Tamper below).

and rotate impeller counter clock wise to dislodge and remove jam and remove
debris from hopper with tongs or equivalent. Reconnect debris bag quick

MULCH
Wood chips made from branches in your own yard make excellent mulch. A thick blanket of wood chips around
plants and flowers to keeps weeds out and moisture in.
TAMPER (TKV only)
Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push remaining pieces of
wood through the chipper. This can prevent any remaining wood from jamming
in the chipper when machine is turned off.
