understanding how your machine works will help you achieve
the best results when using your chipper/shredder. The following
descriptions define the features and controls of your machine.

3.1 engagemenT handle

modelS: all modelS
during engine start-up, the engagement handle must be in the
disengaged position (Figure 3.1). With engine at full throttle,
carefully engage the rotor by slowly pushing the engagement
handle down, allowing the rotor to speed up gradually (Figure
3.2). Engaging the clutch too quickly with the engine at full or
half throttle will bog down the engine and will shorten the life of
the belt. To disengage the rotor, first idle the engine down and
then lift the engagement handle up
