Section
As with any other piece of outdoor power equipment, getting
the feel for how your machine operates and getting to know the
best techniques for particular jobs are important to overall good
performance.
CHIPPING OPERATION
The chipping operation takes place on the side of the machine,
where hardened steel chipper blades are mounted on a rotating
rotor assembly. Material fed into the chipper chute is sliced into
small chips and propelled out through a discharge screen. The
chips can be diverted into a container or onto the ground.
4.1 STARTING ELECTRIC MODELS
Move the machine to a clear, level area outdoors before starting.
Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders. Make sure the cutting
chamber is empty before starting.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10 seconds
at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 second cool
down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these
guidelines can burn out, or permanently damage, the starter
motor.
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the starter
but does not keep running (a false start), the engine rotation
must be allowed to come to a complete stop before attempting
to restart the engine. If the starter is engaged while the flywheel
is rotating, damage to the starter may result.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off starter
immediately. Do not make further attempts to start the engine
until the condition is corrected. Do not jump start using another
battery. Follow the steps below to start the machine.
Check engine oil level before starting.
Place the chipper engagement lever in the START posi-
tion.
Place the throttle control midway between the SLOW and
FAST positions. Move the choke control to the CHOKE
position.
Turn the key switch clockwise to the ON position.

Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders. Make sure the cutting
chamber is empty before starting.

FAST positions. Place the choke control into the CHOKE
position.
Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts. Make sure the
starting cord retracts.
Move the choke to the RUN position.
For a Cold Engine - gradually return the choke to the OFF
position after the engine starts and warms up.
The equipment may be operated during the warm up period,
but it may be necessary to leave the choke partially on until
the engine warms up.
For a Warm Engine - Return choke to the OFF position as
soon as engine starts.
Move the throttle to the FAST position.
Slowly engage the chipper engagement lever to the CHIP-
PING position.
