Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be
vacuumed up through the nozzle for shredding. After
material has been shredded by the flail blades on the
impeller assembly, it will be discharged into catcher bag
or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or chip
any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard
(i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants
such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out.
Materials such as stalks or heavy branches up to 1-1/2” in
diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.
WARNING: Do not attempt to shred,
chip, or vacuum any material larger
than specified on the machine or in this
manual. Personal injury or damage to
the machine could result.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes
clogged, remove and clean as instructed in the Mainte-
nance section on page 16. For best performance, it is
also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
WARNING: Do not at any time make
any adjustments without first stopping
engine and disconnecting spark plug
wire.
