• Place one flat washer 1/4" I.D., then one spacer 1/4"

I.D. on hex bolt 4" long.

• Place chute deflector in position on the discharge

opening, on the left side of the chipper-shredder.

• Insert hex bolt through hinge on chute deflector and

----- housing (spacer fits inside of hinge). See figure 2.

• Place the second spacer 1/4" I.D. over the hex bolt,

inside the other part of the hinge. Secure with 1/4"

• Secure both sides of chute deflector to housing us­

ing hand knobs and cupped washers 5/16" I.D.
(cupped side of washers go against chute deflector).

ATTACHING THE UPPER GUIDE ASSEMBLY

Insert hex bolt 8-3/8" long thru upper guide assembly

and frame. Secure with flat washer 5/16" I.D. and hex

lock nut. Make certain edges of the upper guide assem-

-bly are underneath stop washers. See figure 3. Plastic

insert in hex nut should face away from upper guide

assembly. Tighten hex nut until parts are snug, but so

upper guide assembly can still be rotated on the frame.

ATTACHING THE HOPPER ASSEMBLY

Your chipper-shredder has been shipped with the upper
guide extension attached to the hopper assembly. See
figure 4. Attach the hopper assembly to the upper guide
assembly as follows:

NOTE:

If desired, lift up on the release bar (see figure

6, inset) to raise the upper guide assembly so you can
attach the hopper assembly while standing instead of
kneeling.

• Remove one truss machine screw and nut from each

—side of hopper assembly. See figure 4. Push hop­

per pivot door down inside lower part of hopper. The
hopper assembly fits inside upper guide assembly.

Secure hopper assembly using truss machine

screws and nuts just removed, and six additional
screws and nuts found in hardware pack. The heads
of truss machine screws should be to inside of hop­
per guide assembly. Tighten all nuts finger tight. Lift
hopper assembly and snap into raised position.
Tighten all nuts securely.

ATTACHING THE CATCHER BAG

Your chipper-shredder is equipped with a catcher bag
to catch the shredded material.

-•To attach the bag, place the opening of the bag over

the chute deflector so it completely covers the chute
opening. Depress the plunger on the drawstring, pull
on the drawstring until the bag is tight around the
chute opening. Release plunger to lock it into posi­
tion. See figure 5.
