1.2 FIRE HAZARD INFORMATION
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor
power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that
burns gasoline or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). If operating
your power equipment in a󰀨ected areas, it must be
equipped with a spark arrestor in continuous e󰀨ective
working order. The spark arrestor must be attached to the
engine exhaust system in such a manner that ames or
heat from the system will not ignite ammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply
with federal, state, and local laws may subject him or her
to nes and/or other penalties. Contact your local re
marshal or forest service for specic information about
which regulations apply in your area.
The standard mu󰀪er installed on the engine is spark
arrestor capable. Spark arrestors require regular
maintenance. See the Service & Maintenance section of
this manual for more information.

Make sure cutting chamber is empty before starting.
WARNING
Before operating your machine, be sure you read
and understand all safety, controls and operating
instructions in this owner's manual and on your
machine. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
As with any other piece of outdoor power equipment,
getting the feel for how your machine operates and
getting to know the best techniques for particular jobs are
important to good overall performance.
CHIPPING
The chipping takes place in the smaller, side chute. Feed
branches with a diameter no larger than 5 inches into the
chipper chute. Material fed into the chipper chute is sliced
into small chips and propelled out through the discharge
tube.
SHREDDING
The shredding takes place in the larger, rear chute. Feed
branches and other yard materials no larger than 3/4 inch
in diameter into the shredder chute. Material fed into the
shredder chute is shredded and propelled out through the
discharge tube.
4.1 STARTING ENGINE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THIS MACHINE,
MAKE SURE THE BELT IS DISENGAGED AND THE
HANDLE IS IN THE "START" POSITION.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START MACHINE WITH THE
DRIVE BELT ENGAGED.
1. Check fuel and engine oil levels before starting.
2. Move the belt engagement lever to START position.
3. Move throttle lever to 1/3 of full throttle. To start a
cold engine, place the choke control into the CHOKE
position.
4.2 OPERATING THE CHIPPER
After the engine has been started and properly allowed
to warm to an operating temperature, you can begin
operating the chipper. To properly start and operate the
chipper, follow the steps below:
1. AFTER engine is warmed and ready for use, move
the throttle control back to approximately 25% of full
throttle.
2. When engine is running at approximately 25% of
full throttle, SLOWLY engage belt by using the belt
engagement lever.
DO NOT engage the belt with engine running at
high RPM.
Engaging belt while engine is running at high
RPM will result in signicant belt squealing and
damage.
Engaging belt while engine is running at high
RPM can also damage vital drive components of
the chipper.
3. If the chipper engine stalls while engaging the belt,
return the engagement handle back to the START
position, restart engine, SLIGHTLY increase throttle
and attempt engagement again.
4. Once the belt is engaged, SLOWLY increase throttle
to 100% or full throttle.
5. ALWAYS run the chipper at 100% or full throttle when
chipping material.
4. Turn key to the START postion. Release the key
switch as soon as the engine starts. Gradually move
the choke lever to the RUN position as the engine
warms up.
5. Slowly move belt engagement lever to the CHIPPING
position to engage the rotor.
6. Increase engine RPM to full throttle once belt is
engaged.
●For a cold engine: Gradually return the choke to the
OFF position after the engine starts and warms up.
●For a warm engine: Use of choke may not be
necessary for restart of a warm engine. If it is needed,
return choke to the OFF position once the engine
starts.

OPERATION
Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual.
Failure to operate the machine in accordance with
the safety instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY!
WARNING
4.3 CHIPPER OPERATION GUIDELINES
The machine chips a variety of materials into a more
readily decomposed or handled condition. The following
guidelines will help you get started.
1. Gradually increase engine speed until full throttle
is achieved.
2. ALWAYS run engine at full operating speed before
starting to chip material.
3. If the chipper rotor slows, stop feeding material.
Allow the rotor to process backed up material. Feed
material more evenly.
4. If the chipper jams, remove the branch and rotate it
before reinserting it into the chute. Alternately insert
and retract the limb or insert continuously at a rate
that will not kill the engine.
5. Sharpen the chipping blades periodically. Check
the sharpness of the blades every 5-15 hours. Refer to
the Service and Maintenance section for sharpening
instructions.
6. Limbs fed in to the chipper chute must be 5 inches
(12.7 cm) in diameter or less. Trim side branches
that cannot be bent enough to feed into the chipper
chute. Hold small diameter branches together in a
bundle and feed in simultaneously.
7. Material fed into the shredder chute must be
3/4 inches (2 cm) in diameter or less. Common
shredding materials include grass, leaves, garden
refuse, sticks, and small branches.
8. Alternate green or fresh cut material with dry
material to lubricate the chipping blades for
longer life and better performance. Chipping dead,
dry material will create heat and dull the chipping
blades quicker.
9. ALWAYS feed brush from the side of the chipper
chute, rather than from the front. Step aside to avoid
being hit by the brush moving into the chipper.
10. ALWAYS place limb, butt end rst, into the
chipper chute until it contacts the chipper blades.
The actual feed rate of the limb into the chipper will
depend on the type of material fed and sharpness of
the cutting blades.
11. NEVER use the belt engagement to clear a
plugged rotor. This may cause belt damage. Refer
to the instructions for clearing a plugged rotor in the
Service and Maintenance section.
12. NEVER attempt to clear a plugged rotor or discharge
with the engine running. ALWAYS shut engine OFF
and remove the spark plug wire before servicing any
part of this machine.
13. NEVER attempt to chip pieces of metal, rock, bottles,
cans or other foreign objects.
●Never lean over the chipper chute to push objects
into the cutting device. Use a push stick or brush
paddle.
●Never use shovels or forks to feed brush. They
can cause extensive damage if they contact the
blades. In addition, metal pieces can be ejected
from the chipper chute and cause serious injury
or death.
●Never feed brush into the chute with your feet.
●Never use hands or feet to clear materials that
build up in the chute.
CAUTION
●Obtain and wear safety glasses at all times when
operating the machine.
● Do not wear loose tting clothing.
●The operator should always wear heavy boots,
gloves, pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
●Use common sense and practice safety to protect
yourself from branches, sharp objects, and other
harmful objects.
CAUTION
DO NOT INSERT BRANCHES LARGER THAN 3/4
INCH INTO SHREDDER OR MACHINE DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR.
WARNING

135 INCH CHIPPER/SHREDDER/BLOWER

OPERATION
NEVER disengage the belt as part of the stopping or
shut down process. The belt should remain engaged
during the entire shutdown process.
Leaving the belt engaged is a vital part of proper
shutdown and ensures the rotor stops spinning in
conjunction with the engine shutting o󰀨.
TO PROPERLY SLOW DOWN AND STOP
THE ROTOR AND ENGINE
1. With the belt still engaged, slowly move the throttle to
the SLOW position with the belt still engaged.
2. Allow the engine to run at slow idle for 30-60 seconds.
3. Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the STOP
position or turning o󰀨 the ignition switch.
4. Allow rotor to come to a complete stop.
5. Once the engine is o󰀨 and the rotor has completely
stopped, the belt can be disengaged by moving the
belt engagement handle back to the START position.
The rotor will continue to turn for some time after the
engine has been shut o󰀨. Make sure rotor has stopped
completely before inspecting or servicing machine.
NOTE
4.4 SHREDDER ADJUSTER
The size of shredded materials produced by the machine
can be regulated with the shredder adjuster lever. Move
the lever up for a smaller shredded product. Move it down

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE,
AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making
chipping di󰀩cult and adding extra strain on the machine.
CHECK THE SHARPNESS OF THE BLADES EVERY
5-15 HOURS OF OPERATION AND SHARPEN AS
NEEDED.
Your blades need to be sharpened if:
●Machine vibrates severely when material is fed into
the chipper.
●Chips discharge unevenly or have stringy tails,
especially when chipping green branches.
Before you sharpen the chipping blades, check for
permanent damage. Replace the blade if:
●There are cracks, broken corners or nicks greater
than 1/8" (see below).
●The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been
re-sharpened so that it no longer extends past the
chipping slot (see below).
5.2 ROTOR LOCK
Follow the steps below to install the rotor lock:
1. There is a hole in the shaft cap, the rotor shaft and
a matching hole in the bracket mounted to the rotor
bearing.

WARNING
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE,
AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
The blades can be ground on a bench grinder or by a
professional.
1. Never sharpen or grind the mounting surfaces of
the blades. This will cause the edge to roll and the
blade will be damaged, resulting in poor chipping
performance.
2. Regrind the angled edge of the chipping blades to 45
degrees (Figure 5.2). Make sure some type of xture
is used to correctly hold the blade at the proper angle.
3. Be careful when grinding so that the blade does
not become overheated and change color. This will
remove the heat-treated properties.
4. Use short grinding times and cool with water or some
type of liquid coolant.
5. Remove an equal amount o󰀨 each blade to maintain
rotor balance.
1. Install the rotor lock (Section 5.2). The rotor is now
restrained for installing the blades.
2. Place a blade on the rotor and attach using original
hardware. Torque the bolts to 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm).
Repeat for the remaining blade.

remaining blades, remove pin and reposition rotor.
Return pin to the rotor lock hole.
5. Remove the two 5/16" hex head bolts holding the
blade itself. Repeat for the second blade. Torque
5/16" bolts to 25 ft-lbs. The hardware can be reused.
Repeat for the remaining blade.
6. The blades have two edges and can be reversed one
time before sharpening.
Chipping blades are sharp! Use caution when working
on machine to avoid injury.
WARNING
6. Small imperfections such as nicks and burrs on
the at side of the blade will not a󰀨ect the chipping
performance of the machine.
7. For blades that have been repeatedly sharpened,
ensure that the sharpened surface extends past
the chipping slot opening. If it does not extend past
the opening, the blades should be replaced (see
