blades.
6. Use Loctite on the bolt threads when replacing bolts.

operation.
CAUTION: Before removing the last bolt be sure to support the blade from sliding down
into the drum. A shop towel or more paper towels will suce.

OPERATION
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
BEFORE TURNING THE KEY AND PULL STARTING THE ENGINE
IF YOUR UNIT WILL NOT START
1. Check all wire connections.
2. Check E-Stop is turned and popped out.
CAUTION: Clear the area of all people and property that could be damaged. Think
safety. Chips are flying projectiles that can cause injury. Check both chutes and make
sure they are closed and locked. Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves.
WARNING: NEVER run the chipper with the chutes open. Running a machine with the
chutes open can cause injury or death. Please read and obey all warning labels on this
machine.
CAUTION
• Do not wear loose fitting clothes that could get stuck in the chipper.
• Only chip wood. NO METAL OR PLASTIC.
• Children should not run this equipment.
• Stay alert of your surroundings and persons that could appear in the chip path while
you are working.
• Feed large diameter trees slowly into the cutting drum allowing the drum to regain
RPM and cutting speed between cuts.
Run all contents in the hopper through the machine before shutting the engine o to prevent loose
wood from lodging between blades and jamming the drum before you next running operation.
Remove small side cover with the two nuts and turn the drum counter-clockwise to free up wood
stuck in the blade.
Tow the machine at 25 MPH 40 KM/H MAX.
