2. Intended use
The GTS 1300 is designed solely for chipping
all kinds of newly cut tree branches of
diameter up to 8.5 cm.
3. Restrictions
You should not use the GTS1300 for shredding/chipping metal, stones,
plastics. If you are going to shred tree roots check that the diameter is
less than 8.5 cm and remove all earth, sand and stones.
 Beforeusingthemachineforthersttime,checkthemaximumengine

4. Description of the Machine
The GTS 1300 is a machine for chipping newly cut wood. The rotor
has 2 blades each with a 30 cm width and is powered by a 13hp
Honda engine. Transmission is through two parallel drive belts. The
shredded wood or chips are discharged through the output tube by
the centrifugal force of the rotor. Because of the angle of the blades
and the positioning of the counter blade branches are pulled inside
themachineautomaticallyandnofeederbeltisrequired.(g. 1)

 1.6. Piecesjammingtheinputtubecanonlyberemovedsafely
when the engine is stopped, the spark plug cap removed
and the rotor is stopped and blocked. If necessary, unbolt
and tip the input and output tubes to facilitate access to the
rotor.Useawoodenpoletoremovepiecesstuckintherotor.
Never use your hands. (g. 6 - 8)
1.7. Never leave the machine running unattended.
1.8. Changing the blades of the rotor or the counter blade and
checking blade bolts should only be done when the engine
and rotor are stopped, the spark plug cap is removed and the
rotor is blocked.
1.9. After one hour of use always check that all bolts and nuts are
still tightened properly. If not, tighten them again or bring the
machine back to your dealer/service-point.
 1.10. UseonlyoriginalGreenTechnologypartsformaintaining
your shredder, otherwise the warranty will be void.
1.11. The shredder can only be repaired by a skilled dealer/
service-point.
1.12. The shredder exceeds 90 dBA during operation. Therefore all
users and onlookers must wear ear-protection.
 1.13 Beforeuse,makesecurethattheboltsonthexedbladeare
rmlyxed.Useatorquewrenchtotightenthebolts;70Nm
for the blades on the rotor and 40Nm for the counter blade.
UseLoctite243.Checkafteronehourthattheboltsstillare
rmlyxed(justthersttime;alsoaftermaintenancecheck).

2. Before operating the machine
 Makesurethemachinestandsrmlyonthegroundanddoesnot
tilt in any way. The danger zone on the output of the machine must
berespected,inordertoavoidseriousinjurybychipsthrownoutof
the output tube. Chips can be thrown a distance of 12 meters, so
onlookers must remain behind the direction of throw or at least 12
meters away from the output tube.
 Beforeusingthemachineforthersttime,checkthemaximum
engine speed by screwing in/out the screw which controls the
position of the throttle lever so that it is positioned as in the
diagram.
 Afterthersthour’susecheckthattheboltsofthebladesand
counterbladearermlyxedandthatthegapbetweenbladesand
counterbladeis0.5mm(halfamillimetre).Useatorquewrenchto
tightenthebolts;70Nmforthebladesontherotorand40Nmforthe
counterblade.Adjustintheslotsifnecessaryandxtheboltswith
Loctite 243.
3. Starting and operating the machine
Start the engine at half throttle and let it warm up for about 3
minutes.(Forproperuseoftheengineoneshouldalsoreadthe
attachedmanualoftheHONDAGX390).Thenputtheengineon
full throttle. (g. 9, 10)
Put the branches in the input tube and when you feel they are
pulled in by the rotating blades, let the branch go. Do not hang on
to the branch, the branch will be pulled in by the machine by itself.
Side branches with a diameter exceeding 3 cm should be sawn or
cut off and shredded separately.
Warning!
In case of emergency or any doubt, immediately activate the safety
switch(redknob)tobefoundbytheengine.(g. 11)
Before starting the engine check that the bolts holding the input and
output tubes are fully tightened. (g. 12, 13)

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
Problem Cause Solution
The shredder does not
perform properly: the
wood is not pulled in
by the machine itself.
The chips do not have
the same size.
-The blades are worn too
much
-The diameter of the
branches inserted into
the machine is too large
-There is too big a gap
betweenthexedblade
and the counter blade:
correct gap is 0.5 mm
(halfamillimetre)
-Change or sharpen the blades
and counter-blade. Note that the
blades are sharpened on both
edges so they can be reversed.
-Shut the engine off and remove
the branch that is too thick
-Adjustthegapbetweentheblade
and the counter-blade by moving
the counter-blade in the slots
The engine does not
start/ the engine shuts
off by itself
-Electrical problem with
the engine
-No fuel
-No or not enough oil in
theengine(theoilshould
be level with the threads
ofthellerhole.)
Check that
-Theinputtubeiscorrectlytted
and the bolts are tight
-Put the start-switch of the engine
“On”
-De-activate the emergency switch
(turntheknob)
-Check oil and fuel levels
-Contact your dealer
Important : Tighten the blade bolts
usingatorquewrench;70Nmfor
the blades on the rotor and 40Nm
for the counter blade. Fix with
Loctite 243.
Therotorjams
The engine will not
start/turn because the
rotorisjammed.
-the diameter of the
branch is too big
-there are unacceptable
materials such as stones
or metal in the input tube
-a length of branch
remains in the rotor
after the engine was last
stopped.
-shut off the engine, remove the
spark plug cap and turn the
rotorcounter-clock-wise.Usea
wooden stick to turn the rotor and
to remove the material from the
rotor and input tube.
If necessary, remove the cap of
the bearing housing and rotate the
rotor axle with a spanner.
If necessary, remove the input or
output tube to facilitate access to
the rotor.
Check the sharpeness of the
blades and counter blade and
replace them if necessary.
Important: Tighten the blade bolts
usingatorquewrench;70Nmfor
the blades on the rotor and 40Nm
for the counter blade. Fix with
Loctite 243.
4. Transport
Before moving the machine, stop the engine!
MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
All technical check-ups and maintenance should be done with the
engine shut off and the spark plug cap removed from the spark
plug.
While cleaning the shredder, never spray the bearings with a high
pressure washer! It could cause water to enter the bearings which
willcausedamagetothemachine;(thisisnotcoveredbywarranty).
 Thetwogreasenipplesontherotorrequirelubricatingonceayear
or every 500 hours.
Before putting the shredder into storage grease or oil the bearings,
blades and rotor to protect against corrosion.
For engine maintenance refer to the Engine Manufacturers Engine
Manual.
 Notethattherstengineoilchangeisafter5hoursuse.
