Engine Operation:
Stopping
1.
Move throttle to SLOW position.
2.
Depress foot clutch pedal.
3.
Move throttle to STOP position (or shut off key switch) and remove spark
plug wire from spark plug.
4.
Allow machine to come to a complete stop. You may release the foot
clutch pedal to help slow the rotor once the engine has stopped running.
Note: The heavy rotor will continue to turn for some time after the engine has
been shut off. You can tell that the rotor has stopped when no noise or
machine vibration is present. Inserting a branch into the chipper chute to
contact the blades will slow the rotor and shorten stopping time.
CAUTION: Obtain and wear safety glasses at all times when operating
the machine. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing. Always wear heavy
boots, gloves, pants, and shirt. Use common sense and practice
safety to protect yourself from branches, sharp objects, and other
harmful objects.
CAUTION: Move machine to a clear, level area outdoors before
starting. Do not operate machine on a paved, concrete, or gravel
surface. Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders. Make sure cutting
chamber is empty.
