& Information
WARNING
You must read, understand and comply with all
safety and operating instructions in this manual
before attempting to set-up and operate your
chipper/shredder.
Failure to comply with all safety and operating
instructions can result in loss of machine control,
serious personal injury to you and /or
bystanders, and risk equipment and property
damage. The triangle in the text signifies impor-
tant cautions or warnings which must be fol-
lowed.
GENERAL
The Safety Alert symbol shown here is used to alert you
to important safety information that must be read, fully
understood, and followed at all times when handling,
transporting, operating, servicing, or storing your chip-
per/shredder unit.
Each safety alert symbol is followed by a “signal word”
that advises you of the relative intensity, or level, of the
hazard the safety alert instructions pertain to.
The following list of signal words is being provided to
help you understand the intensity levels associated with
each signal word used in this manual.
Safe operation of the chipper/shredder unit requires that
all operating and safety instructions be obeyed by every-
one who uses, services, or otherwise handles the unit.
Although the instructions and warnings appearing in this
manual cover most normal operating conditions, every-
one using the chipper/shredder unit must also always
follow safe work practices while operating, servicing, or
handling the chipper/shredder unit under any conditions
not specifically covered in this manual.
WARNING
Engine exhaust from this product contains chem-
icals known, in certain quantities, to cause can-
cer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
SETTING UP
1. Although most assembly has been done at the facto-
ry, your chipper/shredder unit requires minor assem-
bly and the addition of engine oil before it can be
used. Never attempt to start or operate the unit
unless the chipper cone and shredder hopper have
been properly installed and engine oil has been
added.
2. Perform the required assembly in an area where the
chipper/shredder can be handled comfortably.
Never attempt to assemble the unit unless the
engine/base assembly can be held or securely posi-
tioned for assembly needs.
3. Use proper hand tools for assembling the
chipper/shredder. Never use tools such as
adjustable open-end wrenches that can slip off hard-
ware as it’s being fastened. Never use toothed grip-
ping pliers which may damage hardware and make
removal difficult.
4. Always use only the hardware provided with this unit
for assembly. Never substitute parts, or mix the
proper position of parts during assembly. If a part is
missing, contact your local dealer for an exact
replacement.
5. Assemble the unit in the sequence indicated in the
assembly instructions. Make sure all hardware is
properly tightened after assembly is completed and
before starting the unit.
6. Make sure all required hardware has been installed.
Never attempt to start or operate the unit unless you
are sure that all required hardware has been used.
7. Inspect the shredder hopper and chipper cone for
any debris, loose hardware, or other material that
may have fallen in during unpacking and assembly.
Always disconnect the spark plug wire from the
spark plug, before removing any objects.
