Resumen del manual
STARTING ENGINE WARNING: Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the chipper- shredder while starting or operating. Do not operate this chipper-shredder unless the chute deflector has been properly installed and is secured with the hand knobs. NOTE: To prevent the unit from sliding, place your foot firmly against the wheel. 1. Attach spark plug wire and rubber boot to spark plug. 2. Move starter switch to ON position. 3. Move choke lever to CHOKE position. 4. If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, move choke lever to No Choke position. 5. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. 6. Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return to starter slowly. 7. When engine starts, move choke lever to half choke position until engine runs smoothly and then to No Choke position. 8. If engine fails to start after three pulls, move choke lever to No Choke position and pull starter rope again. 9. If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to Full Choke position and pull rope again. 8 10. Move choke lever to OFF position as engine warms up. 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. USING YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER WARNING: Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e., branches, leaves, twigs, etc.). • Leaves and small branches up to 1/2" diameter (maximum) can be fed into the hopper assembly when it is in the raised or lowered position. • For model 462B (5 H.P.), bulky material, such as stalks or heavy branches, up to 2” in diameter should be fed into the chipper chute. • For model 465A (8 H.P.), bulky material, such as stalks or heavy branches, up to 3” in diameter should be fed into the chipper chute. WARNING: Do not put material larger than is specified into the hopper, and/or into the chipper chute. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result. • If it becomes necessary to push material into the chipper-shredder, use a small diameter stick -- NOT YOUR HANDS. The stick should be small enough that it will be ground up if it gets into the impeller assembly. LOWERING THE HOPPER ASSEMBLY 1. To lower the hopper assembly, use one hand to grasp the hand-hold at the top of the hopper assembly and lift slightly. 2. Pull out on the release knob, and lower the hopper assembly to the ground. NOTE: For best performance, it is important to keep the shredding blade and the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate at which the material is discharged slows down considerably, it is likely that the shredding blade and/ or chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to Maintenance section. IMPORTANT: There is a flail screen located inside the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in the Maintenance section. WARNING: The chipper-shredder discharges materials with considerable velocity. Keep away from the area around the discharge chute. Always stop the engine and disconnect spark plug wire when removing or attaching the bag, changing containers, or removing the shredded material. Wear safety glasses and gloves whenever using your chipper- shredder. SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS • Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance. • The warranty on this chipper shredder does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain the chipper shredder as instructed in this manual. • Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are tight. WARNING: Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or adjustments. Never remove discharge chute till the engine has completely stopped. WARNING: Temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150o F(65oC). Avoid these areas. LUBRICATION Lubricate the pivot points on the release knob bracket, hopper assembly, chute deflector and once a season using a light oil. CLEANING • Clean engine periodically. Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. • Frequently remove leaves, dirt and debris from cooling fins, air intake screen and levers and linkage. This will help ensure adequate cooling and correct engine speed. 9 • Clean the chipper shredder by running water from a hose through the hopper assembly and chipper chute with the engine running. Allow the chipper-shredder to dry thoroughly. NOTE: Cleaning with a forceful spray of water is not recommended as water could ...
