the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
WARNING
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE
Always disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
ground against the engine to prevent inadvertent starting of the
machine. This step should be taken as a precaution whenever you
are performing service on this machine.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions
can cause serious injuries or death. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.
Safety Precautions:
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will eliminate several potential hazards:
 Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the
engine.
 Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

Operating Instructions
Starting the Engine
Step 3: Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on
the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark
plug.
Step 4: Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may
not require choking).
Step 5: Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
Step 6: Recoil start: Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until en-
gine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this
point). Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on
starter handle. Let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat the previous steps until
engine fires. Do not pull for more than 4 times between intervals.
Step 7: Electric start: Follow Step 3 to Step 5, then plug any 120V outdoor
extension cord into the 120V Extension Cord Connection (See Figure 6), and
then push the Red Starter Button to start the engine. Do not run starter more
than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds On / 5 seconds Off.
Step 8: When engine starts, move choke control gradually to the RUN posi-
tion. (See Figure 7)
NOTE: A noise will be heard when finding the start of the compression cycle.
This noise is caused by the flails and fingers, which are part of the shredding
mechanism, and it should be expected until the impeller reaches full speed.
To Empty the Chip Bag
 Stop the engine.
 Release the drawstring and remove the bag from the discharge chute.
 Empty bag and reattach to the discharge chute opening.
Using the Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up and placed in the funnel
assembly for shredding. DO NOT PUT BRANCHES INTO THE TOP FUN-
NEL. BRANCHES SHOULD BE FED INTO THE SIDE CHIPPER CHUTE.
If using the side chipper chute to chip branches, it is important to let
the chipper feed the branches through automatically. DO NOT at-
tempt to force the branches through. If the branches do not automati-
cally feed through, gently push the branch and then allow the chipper
to automatically feed the branch through. Forcing branches into the
side chute may wear the belt prematurely.
After the material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller
assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into chip catcher bag.
Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a
normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as
tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up
to 4” in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing in the discharge
area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed. For
best performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors with engine running or until
the engine has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes after
running.
WARNING
WARNING: The operation of any chipper shredder can result in for-
eign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes
severely. Always wear the safety glasses provided with this unit or
eye shields before chipping or shredding and while performing any
adjustments or repairs.
Always use the proper personal safety equipment before starting this
machine:
1. Ear protection
2. Gloves
3. Eye protection
Add Gasoline and Oil
Step 1: Add gasoline
Step 2: Add approximately 1.1 quarts of 10W-30 oil (5W-30 is recommended
for cold weather climate) until the oil is about to overflow from the oil fill
spout. A low oil sensor will prevent the engine from running unless the oil is
COMPLETELY FULL.
Ensure both oil fill plugs on the engine are secure after
filling.

purchaser / owner during the applicable warranty time period. NO WARRANTY REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN WARRANTY ON STANLEY PRODUCTS.
SAVE YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE RECEIPT. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF THE INITIAL PURCHASE DATE AT THE TIME WARRANTY SERVICE IS RE-
QUESTED, THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
WHAT STANLEY POWER EQUIPMENT WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY:
STANLEY will repair or replace, at its option, any part that is proven to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use during the applicable
warranty time period subject to the exclusions stated herein. This warranty is void if the owner fails to follow the prescribed maintenance and operating proce-
dures described in this manual. This specifically refers to ensuring routine oil changes are made, that fuel stabilizer is used for long-term storage, that the gen-
erator is not overloaded, and that the generator loads are distributed evenly between the A and B outlets.
STANLEY has the right to recover warranty administration costs from the owner if the root cause of the malfunction was found to be other than defective mate-
rial or workmanship. In particular, this warranty does not cover: contaminants in the fuel or oil; damage caused by not following the prescribed warnings and
operating practices; failure to follow proper maintenance and storage procedures; and physical damage due to shipping or handling or storage. Damage to the
generator that occurs as a result of connecting a STANLEY generator to household wiring without the use of a UL approved transfer switch device that is con-
nected to the home or business and grounded as per applicable local electrical codes, is not covered by this warranty.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for parts and labor for the first year. After the first year, this limited warranty covers the costs of replacement
parts only. Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of STANLEY. Parts replaced under warranty will be considered as part of the original prod-
uct and any warranty on those parts will expire coincident with the original product warranty.
TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take the STANLEY Power Equipment product, accessory, replacement part, apparel or the power equipment on which the accessory or replacement part
is installed, and proof of purchase, at your expense, to any STANLEY Power Equipment service location in the United States, who is authorized to service that
product, during the service location’s normal business hours. If you are unable to obtain warranty service, or are dissatisfied with the warranty service you receive,
take the following steps: First, contact the manager of the service center involved; normally this will resolve the problem. However, if you should require further
assistance, write or call the STANLEY Customer Service.
EXCLUSIONS:
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO PARTS AFFECTED OR DAMAGED BY ACCIDENT AND/OR COLLISION, NORMAL WEAR, FUEL CONTAMINATION, USE IN
AN APPLICATION FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS NOT DESIGNED OR ANY OTHER MISUSE, NEGLECT, INCORPORATION OR USE OF UNSUITABLE ATTACH-
MENTS OR PARTS, UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION, OR ANY CAUSES OTHER THAN DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE PRODUCT.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE AND LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:

TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTY.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your STANLEY engine within the emission standards. Mainte-
nance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are
‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
The emission control systems on your STANLEY engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA regulations. We recommend the use of genuine
STANLEY parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so
you can be confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emis-
sion control system. A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufac-
turer or re-builder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
Emission controls are covered by this warranty for all uses for a period of 3 years from original retail purchase date, this coverage extends to subsequent owners
of the product with proof of original purchase.
