1. Key: The control panel houses the key on both the die-
sel and gas engines. Turn the key to the right to acti-
vate the electric start. On diesel models turning the key
to the left activates the glow plug. DO NOT START THE
MACHINE WITH THE CHIPPER ENGAGED.
2. Throttle: This controls the speed of the engine. On die-
sel models adjust the throttle by twisting, or by pushing
the button and pushing or pulling.
3. Choke: Use this to start the gasoline engine when cold.
Move cable to original position as engine warms.

handle toward the ground. To disengage the machine
move the handle back up to the original position (See

ture. To start the engine, hold the switch until the oil
pressure appears on the gauge.
