OPERATION 5

Under normal circumstances, allow time for machine

to clear all wood from chipper hopper before stopping

engine. Otherwise, remaining pieces of wood will jam inside

of chipper when engine stops.SeeTamper on page 7.

Disconnect spark plug wire.

Remove debris bag quick disconnect from debris outlet on

machine.

Wearing durable gloves, access impeller through

debris outlet on fan housing and rotate impeller counter

clock wise to dislodge and remove jam and remove debris

from hopper with tongs or equivalent.

Reconnect debris bag quick disconnect to machine.

Reconnect spark plug wire.

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).

Wearing Eye Protection and Durable

Gloves is recommended while operating

chipper.

Use caution when using chipper

Your

TERMITE

®chipper is designed to process tree branches

and limbs up to 2" (50.8mm) diameter.

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.

VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: is

raised and lowered by lifting slightly upward on handle and up

on height adjustment rod located at left rear of machine.

FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to debris,

but without blocking airflow into the nozzle.

NOTE

: Never bury

nozzle into debris.

CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE

& EXHAUST: Turn engine off and wait for impeller to

stop completely and disconnect spark plug wire.

Wearing urable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog

may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug

wire.

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions

for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.

Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and

gasoline.

ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.

Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to

accomplish your current cleaning task.

FUELVALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when

provided on engine).

CHOKE: See Primer.

PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.

THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.

Pull starting rope to start engine.

IFYOUR UNIT FAILSTO START:

See Troubleshooting on page 12.

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).

Part No. 890207 Form No. F021795E

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 f or first 1/2 hour to condition ne w 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

perf ormance.

Be sure engine has come to a complete stop before removing

or emptying bag.

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 performance.

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.

Wood chips made from branches in your own yard make excel-

lent mulch. A thick blanket of wood chips around plants and

flowers keeps weeds out and moisture in (see fig.3).

Vacuumed leaves, grass and other organic material from your own

yard can be emptied into a pile or composter to provide enriched

soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds (see fig. 3).

Note: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living

plants.

OPERATION 7

Bail Down

Disengages

Drive

Handle

Bail

GROUND SPEED can be varied by applying slight downward

pressure to handle during operation (to allow drive wheels

partial slippage) or by changing the engine rpm.

For improved control in confined areas, this machine can be

freewheel pushed forward or backward by releasing the

operator's bail and pushing machine.

This vacuum is self-propelled.To engage the drive, lift operator's

bail against operator's handle.The drive is disengaged by

releasing the operator's bail.

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated

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.

Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the

handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.

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 theTamper 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.

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. Using a 3/16" Allen wrench and 1/2" open end wrench, remove

chipper blade from impeller.

12. Sharpen blade by lightly grinding the cutting edge of the blade

at 40 degrees (see fig. 5).It is not necessary to remove all nicks

from the cutting edge.

CAUTION:

Be careful to avoid heat buildup

in the blade during sharpening.This will reduce it’s heat- treated

hardness properties and will reduce blade life. Evidence of too

much heat build-up is a change of color along sharpened edge.

13.The same chipper blade can be sharpened several times.

However, blade replacement is required when blade no longer

overhangs the chip relief hole in impeller back plate or if increased

vibration occurs (see fig. 5).

14. Chipper blade installation is in reverse order of removal.

INCORRECTCORRECT

15.To reinstall impeller, use a new impeller bolt and lockwasher and

use exactly the same crankshaft impeller shim washers as were

removed during disassembly (unless they were damaged).

However, your unit may or may not have required the use of shim

washers

16. Tighten impeller bolt.Torque impeller bolt to 50 Ft. Lbs.(68 N.m)

(see item 51 on page 11).

17. Slowly rotate impeller to insure proper chipper blade clearance.

Check to see that gap between chipper blade and anvil surface (on

lower side of housing top plate) measures between

0.040"(1.02mm) and 0.080"(2.03mm).

18. If gap is less than 0.040"(0.51mm), add shim washer 890130

(0.060"{1.52mm} thick) and/or 890131 (0.020"{1.02mm} thick),

whichever is required. If gap is more than 0.080"(2.03mm), remove

one or more shim washers as needed to obtain correct gap (see fig.

6 & fig. 7). The chipper will function at up to a maximum of

0.125"(3.18mm) gap.

DISCONNECT SPARK PLUGWIRE

BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS

TURN MACHINE OFF, MAKE SURE ALL MOVING

PARTS COMETO A COMPLETE STOP.

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.

3. Remove bag, bag tray, quick release, upper handle and clutch

cable from upper handle. Do not kink, stretch, or break control

cables, control housings, or end fittings while removing handles.

4. Remove chain guard, chains and jackshaft assembly (see page 9,

Drive Chain).

5. Remove housing top plate by removing bolts around outside of

housing.

6. Leaving engine fastened to top plate, remove impeller bolt and

lock washer and slide impeller off crankshaft ( A puller may be

required).

7. Retain shim washers used at end of crankshaft for use at impeller

reinstallation (see fig. 7). However, your unit may or may not have

required the use of shim washers.

8. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 11 or step 15).

(Do not drop impeller).

9. If impeller does not slide off crankshaft, place two crowbars

between impeller and housing on opposite sides.Pry impeller away

from engine until it loosens.

Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a

stuck impeller.

10. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 1”(25.4mm) longer

bolt of the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt. Invert

engine and impeller and support engine above ground to prevent

recoil damage. Thread longer bolt by hand into the crankshaft until

bolt bottoms. Using a suitable gear or wheel puller against the bolt

head and the impeller back-plate (near the blades), remove impeller

from shaft.

19. If chipper blade properly clears anvil surface, proceed to step

20. If not, return to (step 14) and add or subtract shim washers as

needed to obtain a correct gap.

20. Reinstall engine, impeller and jackshaft assembly compo-

nents onto housing in reverse order of removal (see drive section

on page 9).

21. Before connecting spark plug wire, slowly pull engine

starting rope to insure that impeller rotates freely.

22. Reinstall spark plug wire.

IMPELLER REMOVAL and CHIPPER

Rod

Control

Bracket Clutch 121

Triangular

Plate

The clutch control cable is pre-adjusted at the factory, so when

the bail is released, rod (item 115), engages clutch assembly

(item 121), to stop forward drive motion and allow forward and

backward free-wheeling. When the bail is held against handle,

the clutch rod moves away from clutch assembly to allow drive

engagement.

If drive will not disengage, adjust and align control bracket so that

rod (item 115) fully contacts triangular plate on clutch assembly

when bail is released (see fig. 8).

See lubrication intervals on Maintenance Schedule.

1. Remove chainguard (item 118) and 3 screws (item 81 & 71).

2. Inspect chains (items 87 & 88), for wear, (see chain replace-

ment), lubrication and correct adjustment.

3. If adjustments are required, loosen 4 carriage bolts (item 90),

that hold bearing brackets for jackshaft assembly.

4. Adjusting all (3) chains at same time is necessary and can be

done by pulling jackshaft (item 93), up and forward.

5. Tension chains - similar to bicycle chain tightness with

about 1/8”(3.2mm) deflection with light hand pressure mid-

way between sprockets. A slightly loose chain is better than an

over tightened chain.DO NOT over tighten.

6. With chains aligned and tensioned, and jackshaft (item 93),

square and level, tighten carriage bolts (item 90).

7. Completely rotate drive wheels around several times to

insure there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.

8. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 if chains need readjustment.

9. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).

1. With chain guard removed, loosen carriage bolts (item 90),

that hold jackshaft (item 93), and bearing plates (item 101).

2. To replace inner chain (item 88), remove jackshaft

assembly and install replacement chain.

3. To replace wheel chains (item 87), slide bearing plates

(item 101), toward engine to loosen chains. Remove front wheels.

Reinstall replacement chains with wheels and onto

jackshaft sprockets.

4. See steps 4 thru 7 for chain alignment and adjustment.

5. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).
