C. Bag
The two-bushel bag is standard equipment and attaches
in seconds for direct, one-step bagging.
D. The Support Leg And Wheels
The sturdy support leg and wide-track wheels give your
chipper/shredder a stable, 3-point stance, allowing solid
positioning on virtually all surfaces. The large wheel
diameter and durable rubber tread design make trans-
porting the unit easy, and the low center of gravity helps
prevent tipping while moving over bumpy or uneven ter-
rain.
E. Fan/Rotor Housing
This housing assembly contains the chipper knives and
shredding hammers that process the materials you’ll be
chipping and shredding.
F. Engine
The rugged, four-cycle air-cooled engine provides all the
power necessary to readily chip or shred a wide variety
of materials. Read the engine manufacturer’s manual,
which has been provided with your unit, for additional
important information.
G. Chipper Cone
The rugged chipper cone helps guide tree limbs and
branches directly into the chipper knives, and it’s unique
angled mounting helps pull the material in quickly for
aggressive chipping action.
Shredding Hammers (Not shown)
The unique design of the patented free-swinging, trian-
gular shredding hammers and “J” hammers helps pull
material into the shredding chamber, and increases vol-
ume-reduction efficiency more than most other brands.
The revolutionary design of these triangular hammers
also provides 300% more shredding power than conven-
tional fixed rectangular hammers, and since they can be
rotated, their 6 different useable cutting edges help
extend service life dramatically.
Chipper Knives (Not shown)
Our chipper/shredder line also features high quality, pre-
cision-tempered, solid steel chipper knives, which can be
sharpened again and again to extend their useful life for
many seasons to come.
OPERATING CONTROLS
Your new chipper/shredder has been designed for both
ease of use and lasting reliability, and features a simplified
control system that requires just two operating controls.
These two operating controls, the Choke and the
Throttle, are conveniently located on the chipper/
shredder engine where they can be easily adjusted to
start and run the unit under a variety of operating condi-
tions.
Choke
The choke controls the fuel to air ratio, and helps make
cold starts easier by providing a rich, easily ignited fuel
mixture.
Throttle
The throttle controls engine speed, and allows you to
conserve fuel when idling, or to run the unit at maximum
speed for optimal chipping and shredding performance.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The major components of your chipper/shredder are:
• Shredder Hopper • Engine
• Discharge Chute • Chipper Cone
• Bag • Shredding Hammers
• The Support Leg & Wheels • Chipper Knives
• Fan/Rotor Housing
Each of these major components serves a specific func-
tion on the chipper/shredder. Please take a moment and
familiarize yourself with the name, location, and function
of these components so that you will better understand
the safety and operating instructions provided in this
manual. See figure 6.
A. Shredder Hopper
The durable, low-profile design of the shredder hopper
makes shredding convenient, yet holds a full size load of
material for maximum processing capability.
B. Discharge Chute
The discharge chute ejects the material out of the chip-
per/shredder, delivering processed materials to a specific
area. The pivoting deflector shield directs debris down,
while allowing soft materials to be ejected freely from the
machine.
