6.3. FUEL AND OIL
IMPORTANT: The fuel used for this machine is highly flammable. I the fuel or the
machine ignites, put out the fire with a dry power extinguisher.
Petrol and oil are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do
not smoke and keep flames, sparks or heat away from the machine.
Use unleaded gasoline 95 octane.
Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than 2 months. A fuel stored for too
long will cause the starting of the machine to be more difficult and result in
unsatisfactory engine performance. If the fuel has been in the machine’s tank for
longer than two months, empty the tank and replace it with fuel in perfect condition.
6.3.1.FILLING THE FUEL TANK
1. Choose a suitable area to perform this operation.
2. Remove the fuel thank cap and fill with fuel.
9

10
3. Tightly close the fuel tank’s cap and remove all the fuel that spilled with a dry
cloth.
WARNING: Stop the engine before refueling.
Do not start the machine in an enclosed room or space. The exhaust gases and
fumes from the fuel and oil contain carbon monoxide and harmful chemicals.
In case of a concentration of gases produced by poor ventilation, remove area all
that impedes the flow of clean air from the work area to improve ventilation. Do not
return to work in the area unless you have properly ventilated area and are certain
that ventilation is sufficient so that does not happen in this concentration again.
Do not refuel fuel in locations where there is the presence of open flames, sparks or
heat sources. Fill the tank always in well-ventilated areas and with the motor
stopped. Not overflow the fuel to overfill the fuel tank. In the event of a fuel leak be
sure to remove these leaks completely before starting, move the machine away from
the area of spillage and avoid any source of ignition until all vapors are gone.
Separate yourself at least 3 meters from the refueling area before starting the
machine.
Add fuel before starting the machine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank while
the engine is running or when the machine is hot.
Do not use fuels such as ethanol or methanol. These fuels will damage the engine
of the machine.
6.3.2. ENGINE OIL
For transport reason, your machine’s engine comes from the factory without any oil
in it. Before starting the engine for the first time you must put oil the engine.
This engine uses quality oil for 4-stroke, 10w-30 viscosity.
Filling the oil sump:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
10

11
- Insert the filled 0.6L of oil tube for 6.5HP engine, 1.1L of oil tube for 15HP engine.
- Wait 1 minute for the oil to completely go down to the crankcase.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left by oil on the dipstick. The mark left
by the oil must be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have to remove oil from the crankcase.
To do this, tilt the machine and let out a little oil (put a container at the end of the
tube to prevent oil spilling on the machine or the ground).
6.4. START-UP
6.4.1. CHECKPOINTS BEFORE COMMISSIONING
The machine must be used as conformed under the following instructions:
Maintain hands, other extremities and clothes clear of the entry hopper, clear of the
exit shoot and clear of all rotating elements.
Maintain a good balance on both feet. Do not lean on the machine.
Maintain yourself well clear of the exit area whilst the machine is working.
If the blades hit a strange object (any other object different to wood) or if the
machine starts to make strange noises and/or it vibrates in an abnormal way, stop
the engine so that the blades stop turning. Take the machine to your nearest service
agent for repair.
If the machine gets stuck, you must stop it and wait for the blades to stop turning.
The use of working gloves, ear protection and working
glasses is mandatory.
The machine is designed only for outdoor use. Avoid using
the machine in outdoor areas with a high probability of
exhaust fumes.
11

12
The machine must be used by only one person at a time.
Never insert your hands in the entry chute until the machine has been stopped and
the blades have stopped rotating.
The pieces of wood that might have got stuck transversally must only be removed
when the machine has been stopped and the blades have stopped rotating.
Transport of the machine should be carried out by two persons to avoid possible
injuries.
6.4.2. STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting engine make sure check the engine oil and fuel tank.
1. Turn the fuel lever to the ON position (Pic. 11) (11.1).
2. Set the choke lever to the ON position (Pic. 12) (12.1).
3. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position (Pic.13) (13.1).
4. Hold down the engine firmly with one hand on the frame. With the other hand grip
the recoil starter cord handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt indicating that the
recoil starter is engaged. When resistance is felt pull the cord sharply (Pic.14).
Continue this procedure until the engine starts.
5. When the engine has been successfully started and is running smoothly return
the choke lever to the OFF position (Pic. 15) (15.1).
12

13
6. When the engine is running, the speed can be adjusted by moving the throttle
control lever (Pic.16) (16.1) to the high ( indicated by a hare), medium or low
position (indicated by a tortoise).
6.4.3. STOP THE ENGINE
Note: If the machine should start to make an unusual noise, stop the machine
immediately, allow the engine to cool and inspect thoroughly.
1. To stop the engine, turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, as in Pic.
17 (17.1).
2. When the engine has stopped fully, turn the Fuel lever to the OFF position also,
as shown in Pic.18 (18.1).
7. MACHINE USAGE
7.1.1.CHIPPING BRANCHES
1. Stand to the side of the Hopper, ensuring you have a stable stance and firm
footing.
2. When placing long branches into the chipper funnel, remove twigs and smaller
branches so that you are feeding a thin, straight piece into the machine.
3. Put the big end of branch to the chipper funnel . The branch will be pulled by the
rotating blade automatically. You will be free to push the branch into the chipper
funnel (see Pic.20).
13

14
4. When finished chipping, turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to
a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine,
emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing
maintenance and repairs.
Chipping Tips:
DO NOT feed material in excess of the diameter indicated on the funnel cover
into the funnel. Large branches will cause the motor to stall.
Chipping wood when it is green is easier on the machine. The blades will stay
sharper longer.
The chipper/shredder will work best if the blades are sharp. Rotate, sharpen, or
replace the blades as soon as chipper/shredder performance begins to
deteriorate.
7.1.2. SHREDDING BRANCHES, TWIGS & LEAVES
A. Gather the brush, twigs or leaves and slowly place them into the Hopper. DO
NOT try to stuff too much material in at one time or the machine will jam.
B. Do not attempt to force the materials in. The machine is designed to quickly and
safely take the branches from you.
C. If necessary, use a thick branch to push materials into the Hopper, as seen in Pic.
19. Do not place your hands in the Hopper/Chute.
14

15
D. Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to completely stop, and
disconnected the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag,
unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and
repairs.
Shredding Tips:
Feed material into the chipper/shredder slowly, if the motor begins to bog down,
you are feeding too fast.
Roots and dirty material will dull or damage the blades.
Remove the chips often. Allowing the chips to pile up to the outlet will cause the
outlet to clog.
Avoid shredding wet leaves or brush to reduce clogging. If you must shred wet
material, alternate wet and dry material.
NOTE: When you are not actively shredding or chipping, move the Throttle lever to
the lowest possible setting. If you are moving away from the machine, and the
machine is to became unsupervised, the machine must be switched off.
8. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete
stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the
bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance
and repairs.
Warning - danger of rotating cutting means!
8.1.1. VISUAL INSPECTION
15

16
Before and after every use of the wood chipper, it is recommended that the following
inspection process take place. This is quick and easy, and ensures your safety as
well as the machine’s performance.
1. Check the Hopper, Chute, Funnel and guards for cracks, holes and loose bolts.
2. Check the frame and base of the machine for cracks or damage.
3. Check all the bolts and screws to ensure tightness.
4. Wear gloves, check the blades are not cracked or loose.
5. Check the engine oil level using a dipstick.
8.1.2. CLEANING
It is strongly recommended to clean the machine after every use. After use, turn off
the machine, allow the engine to cool fully, and remove the spark plug.
Brush off or vacuum excess wood chippings and wipe off the remaining dust from
the exterior of the machine with a dry cloth. Do not expose the machine to water or
attempt to clean by pouring water on/into it. Remove any chips or debris from the
hopper and the discharge chute.
It is increasingly difficult to clean this machine the longer you let it sit unclean. The
machine’s performance will naturally decrease if it is not properly cared for.
To clean the engine from built-up resins, you may need to purchase an engine
cleaner. These are available at most auto-parts stores or online.
8.1.3. MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE
8.1.3.1. SPARK PLUG
After every 50 hours of running the spark plug should be removed. Check the color
of the deposits on the end of the spark plug and remove all deposits with a stiff
brush, a brass wire brush is ideal. Check the spark plug gap (Pic.21) and adjust if
required. The correct gap should be 0.7 to 0.8mm.
16

17
8.1.3.2. ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
The oil should be replaced after approximately 68 hours of use. It is recommended
you maintain an estimate of this by tracking your usage of the machine.
1. As per normal start-up, ensure the machine is on a flat, dry surface and follow the
previous instructions to start-up. Allow the engine to warm for several minutes
before turning off the engine.
2. Remove the Oil Filler Cap as seen in Pic.8.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to catch the oil. Remove the Oil Drain Plug
(also displayed in Pic. 8) in order to drain the oil fully. A tube or similar device is
recommended to avoid spilling the oil.
4. Check the Oil Drain Plug, Gasket, and Oil Filler Cap to ensure each item is not
damaged.
5. Add fresh engine oil up to the upper level of the dipstick, as seen in Pic. 9.
8.1.3.3. AIR FILTER
After approximately 100 hours of use, or every month
(whichever is sooner), the Air Filter should be removed and
cleaned thoroughly. The Air Filter is displayed in Pic.22.
During this cleaning process, the Air Filter should also be
thoroughly inspected for damage and deterioration. We
recommend a water-based degreasing agent. Allow to dry
fully before replacing the Air Filter.
NOTE: Never attempt to run the machine without an Air Filter inserted.
8.1.3.4. FUEL TANK FILTER
After approximately 150 hours of use, or every 3 months
(whichever is sooner), the Fuel Tank Filter should be removed
and cleaned thoroughly. The Fuel Tank Filter is displayed in
Pic.23. As with cleaning the Air Filter, we recommend cleaning
the Fuel Tank Filter with a water-based degreasing agent.
17

18
8.2. REPLACE THE BLADES
Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins to
deteriorate, or if you notice the blade with chips or cracks.
To perform this procedure:
1. Turn off the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and
disconnect the spark plug wire!
2. Remove the side cover plate to expose the blades. (the side cover plate is
inserted to upper, so just pull down.)
3. Remove one blade, rotate the impeller, and remove the second blade.
4. Have the original blades professionally sharpened, or order a replacement set,
then re-install the blades.
5. Replace the side cover plate and re-attached the spark plug wire.
8.3. REPLACE THE V-BELT
