See Troubleshooting on page 12.
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter and
for chipping brush, limbs, corn and sunflower stalks and
palm fronds.
Debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts of sand
can be vacuumed; however, it is not this machine's primary
purpose. Vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will affect the
longevity of your machine.
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are
trained in general machine use and safety.
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for
damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose impeller
key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See parts
list for proper impeller bolt torque specifications. (See trouble
shooting section on page 12).

Several small branches can be grouped together and fed
together into the chipper (see fig 2.).
When feeding forked branches, squeeze forks together and
feed into chipper entrance (DO NOT overload). If forks are too
large, use a pair of loppers to trim forks down to size. A lopper
storage bracket is provided on every unit (loppers are not
included)

By removing the debris bag, quick disconnect and leaving the bag
support tray in place, the operator’s handle can be folded down to
save space when transporting or storing unit (see fig 4).
Page 6 of 12
OPERATION 6
(fig. 3)
Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with
more weight than you can lift.
An optional bag and dust cover is available for use where debris will
be vacuumed in dusty conditions (see Optional Accessories shown
on page 1.)
DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface,such as engine. Run
engine at 1/2 throttle for first 1/2 hour to condition new bag. Your new
bag requires a break-in period to condition the pores of the material
against premature blockage.The entire bag surface ser ves as a filter,
and must be able to breath to have good vacuum performance.
Besureenginehascome to a complete stop before removing
oremptyingbag.
This vacuum is designed for picking up trash, organic
material and other similar debris (see Safety Warnings page 2-3).
However, many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with
trash. Your unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. Dust
is the greatest cause of lost vacuum performance. However,
following these rules will help maintain your machine's ability
to vacuum in dusty conditions:
•Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.
•The debris bag must be cleaned more frequently. A vacuum
with a clean, pillow soft bag will have good pickup perfor-
mance. One with a dirty, tight bag will have poor pickup
performance. If dirty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag
free of dust.
•Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning
does not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before
use.
Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down
time while dirty bags are being cleaned.
•DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
Woodchipsmade from branches in yourownyardmake excellent
mulch. Athickblanketofwoodchips around plants and flowers
keepsweedsoutand moisture in (see fig. 3).
Vacuumed leaves,grassand other organicmaterial from yourown
yardcanbeemptied into a pile or composter to provide enrichedsoil
forlateruse as fertilizer in gardens andflowerbeds(seefig. 3).

OPERATION 7
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-
lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as
follows:
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all
gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits
from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction
of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,
away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and
engine runs out of gasoline.
store tamper in the chipper hopper.
Do not leave tamper on the ground,
Tamper Storage Position.
Usingtwopeopleto lift machine is recommended. Liftholdingthe
handleandfrontofnozzle. Secureinplaceduringtransport.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor.
Do not store with debris in bag.
Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push
remaining pieces of wood through the chipper. This can prevent
any remaining wood from jamming in the chipper when machine
is turned off.

MAINTENANCE
CHIPPER BLADE REMOVAL AND SHARPENING
Depending on the type and amount of wood being chipped, the
chipper blade will eventually get dull, losing it’s cutting ability.
Evidence of a dull blade is a noticeably reduced chipping ability or a
rough cut on end of branch.
Note: The chipper blade gap is factory set and should be checked
each time impeller is removed from engine crankshaft and reset if
required. If reassembly requires a different quantity of shim
washers, Billy Goat®shim washer must be used.
Chipper blades are normal replaceable wear items.
DANGER Chipper blade is sharp.
Replace any damaged blade.
11. Usinga3/16"Allenwrenchand1/2" open end wrench, remove
chipperbladefromimpeller.
12. Sharpenbladebylightlygrindingthecuttingedgeof the blade at
40 degrees (see fig. 5). It isnotnecessaryto remove all nicks from
thecuttingedge.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoidheatbuildupin the
