OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
Before operating the machine it is important to ensure the following to use the
machine to its full capability and to keep the operator and the surrounding area safe.
Make sure that the operator has read and understood how to use the engine as
per the manufacturer’s instructions
Ensure that the oil and fuel in the engine are as per the engines manufacturers
instructions
Check that all guards and parts are in place
Make sure the throttle control is at its lowest setting. At idle the centrifugal
clutch should be disengaged
Ensure that the C70 is located on flat, even ground and that there are no people
or animals in the vicinity of its working function, including the ejection from the
discharge chute
Ensure that the operator has read and understood this manual, including how to
control the machine
Wear the prescribed safety equipment
Check that the material to go through the C70 does not contain nails, ropes or
any metal object that can damage the machine whilst it is being chipped
DURING OPERATION
Once satisfied that the above criteria have been met, turn on the engine as per the
manufactures instructions. Once running:
Gently increase the throttle until the clutch engages and the blades rotate.
Operate the C70 Chipper at near full throttle for optimal performance
For the C70 Chipper all branches go through the chipper chute. It is best if the
thickest end of the branch gets fed into the chipper chute first; generally this is
the end that you cut the branch at. Sometimes it may be required to prune the
side branches to fit the main branch into the chipper chute. Ensure this is done
before you start chipping. The C70 generally will draw the branches in and on
no occasion do you need to put your hand inside the chipper chute.
The discharge chute can be angled to disperse the chippings to where you want
them to go. Attached to the discharge chute is a nyloc nut that can be loosened
to adjust the angle of the chute. Once the desired angle is reached, re-tighten
this nut and bolt. Only adjust the machine once the flywheel has stopped
rotating and come to a complete stop and the spark plug lead has been
removed.
