complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental
starting.
DANGER
1. Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Carbon monoxide may be pres-
ent even if you do not smell or see any engine exhaust. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting or death, in addition to drowsiness, dizziness and confusion. If you experience any of these
symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
2. If your machine comes with a separate engine manual, be sure to read and follow all safety and warning
precautions outlined there, in addition to any in this manual.
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
d. Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
1. Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
2. Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
3. Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
4. Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily
taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas where hills surround your working area.)
5. Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on
one or more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
6.Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away from the operator.
7. Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be many feet away from the operation of
the engine and its attachments.
8. Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine.
9. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
1. When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate container and away from any fire hazards.
2. Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers
approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing &Materials.
3. Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples
include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never fill tank near appliances with pilot lights,
heaters, or other ignition sources. If the fuel has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. The drained fuel
should be stored in a container specifically designed for fuel storage or it should be disposed of carefully.
4. Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
5. Do not smoke while refueling or operating engine.
6. Never drain fuel from the engine in an enclosed area.
7. Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is
spilled, do not start the engine but move machine and fuel container from area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to
evaporate and dry after wiping and before starting.
8. Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before starting engine.
9. Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and using engine.
10. Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on the engine.
11. During storage, keep machine so gas cap is up.
12. Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
13. Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow children to fill the engine.
14. Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to fill engine.
15. When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or
other appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
16. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
17. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Burns and Fires
The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine become extremely hot during the operation of the engine.
These parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
Prevention of Burns and Fires
1. Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
2. Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot and will cause severe burns.
3. Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after operation.
4. Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.
Children and Bystanders
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and/or bystanders. Never assume
that others will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, especially small children and pets. Keep children under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.

GENERAL OPERATION
1. Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this unit.
Become familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.
2. Check all hardware (bolts, screws, etc) before every use for tightness to be sure machine is in safe working
condition.
3. Overloading the equipment will shorten its life, and can cause mechanical failures.
Chipper Operation
The chipper is designed to handle tree limbs and branches up to approximately 3” (7,6 cm) in diameter. The
chipping knives also permit the processing of course organic matter like corn stalks. Tree branches must be
inserted large-end first into the chipper cone. Since occasional kick-backs may occur, always stand off to the side
of the unit. Allow the self-feeding action of the unit to draw the sticks in.
Shredder Operation
The shredder is designed to shred light brush, leaves, and other soft but bulky organic waste. As material (no
larger than 1/2 inch in diameter) is loaded into the shredder hopper it is pulled into the path of the hammers by air
flow.
Vacuum Attachment (Optional)
In addition to the chipper cone and hopper, loose debris may be processed by the Vacuum hose adapter kit.
Leaves may be raked directly into the leaf tray where vacuum action will draw them into the shredder. For
hard-to-reach areas, the nozzle and hose assembly may be used. The strength of the Vacuum may be changed
using the rotating sleeve on the nozzle.
Operating Location
1. Select an area with firm, level ground, covered by dirt or grass.
2. Do not operate on wet or slick surfaces, or near bystanders.
