Connecting the Battery Cable (Electric Start)
We ship the electric-start 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED
CHIPPER with the negative terminal battery cable
disconnected. This prevents the battery from discharging
during shipment. Before using your electric start 16.50
PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER, you must connect the
battery cable.
1. Slide the Terminal of the Negative Battery Cable onto
the Negative Terminal Lug of the Battery (Figure 10).
