Insert the tamper plug into the chipper chute. NOTE: Tamper plug should remain in the chipper chute whenever the chipper chute is not in use. Figure 8 SECTION 6: OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR CHIPPER-VACUUM, REFER TO THE “SAFETY RULES” AS SHOWN ON PAGES 2 AND 3 OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL. A The operation of any chipper-vacuum can result in foreign 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 while performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles or standard glasses. CONTROLS (See Figure 9) SHIFT LEVER—The shift lever determines ground speed of your unit. It may be placed in one of eight positions. Of these eight, six positions are to go forward, and two positions are to go in reverse. Forward—one of six speeds. Position number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6) is the fastest. Reverse—two reverse (R) speeds. “R” (all the way to the right) is the faster of the two. DRIVE CLUTCH HANDLE Squeezing the drive clutch handle against the upper handle engages the wheel drive. Release the drive clutch handle to stop the wheel drive. 8 GAS AND OIL FILL-UP Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your chipper-vacuum. Read instructions carefully. NOTE: Your chipper-vacuum is shipped without oil; however, a small amount of oil may be present from the factory. Do not overfill. A WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running or while engine is hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank. TO START ENGINE IMPORTANT: If unit shows any sign of motion with the clutch handle disengaged, shut engine off immediately. Readjust as instructed in the “Clutch Cable Adjustment” section of the Assembly Instructions. WARNING: Be sure no one other than A the operator is standing near the chipper-vacuum while starting or operating. Do not operate this chipper-vacuum unless the nozzle, discharge chute and bag have been properly installed. NOTE: Your chipper-vacuum unit has a safety switch at the front of the housing. The nozzle or optional hose attachment must be in place on the chipper-vacuum before the engine can be started. 1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. 2. Make certain drive clutch handle is in the disengaged (released) position. 3. Engines with choke lever: Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may not require choking.) Engines with primer: Prime engine as instructed in separate engine manual. 4. Move throttle control lever on engine to FAST position. 5. Place one foot on the left rear wheel to prevent the unit from skidding while starting. 6. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will puli slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. 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 falling into place, and should be expected. In addition, the flails and fingers will be noisy after the engine is started, until the impeller reaches full speed. 7. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Let rope rewind slowly. Do not let starter handle snap back against starter. 8. Repeat instructions 6 and 7 until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke control (if so equipped) gradually to RUN position. TO STOP ENGINE 1. To stop engine, move throttle control lever to OFF position. 2. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended. TO EMPTY BAG Open the large zipper on the bag to empty the bag. See Figure 10. Be certain the zipper is closed when operating the unit. Figure 10 TO ENGAGE DRIVE IMPORTANT: Always release the drive clutch handle before moving the shift lever. With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever into one of the six FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate for the conditions that exist. Use the slower speeds until you are familiar with the operation of the chipper-vacuum. To engage the wheel drive, hold the drive clutch handle against the chipper-vacuum handle. Releasing the drive clutch handle stops the wheels from driving. Release the drive clutch handle to slow down when negotiating an obstacle, making a turn or stopping. Engage slowly to prevent front wheels from lifting up. HOW TO USE THE CHIPPER Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e., branches, leaves, twigs, etc.). Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute. See Figure 11. 9 WARNING: Material up to a A maximum of 3" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute. Do not attempt to shred or chip any material larger ...
