Cleaning The Reduction Chamber
WARNING: The impeller’s shredder blade and
chipper blades are sharp. Wear leather work gloves
to protect your hands when cleaning out the
reduction chamber.
If the reduction chamber becomes clogged with debris, the
shredder screen can be pivoted upward so that you can clean the
surrounding area. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make certain the
chipper shredder has come to a complete stop.
WARNING: The muffler and surrounding area will
be hot if the engine has been running. Use caution
and protect your hands if working near the muffler.
2. If attached, remove debris bag. Remove the two wing
knobs on either side of the chute deflector and pivot the
chute deflector upward. See Figure 6-1.
