Cleaning the Impeller Housing (Fig. 6)
The impeller's shredder blade and
chipper blades are sharp. Wear leather
work gloves to protect your hands when
cleaning out the impeller housing.
If the impeller housing becomes clogged with
debris, the shredder grate can be pivoted
upward to clean the surrounding area.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1.
Stop engine, disconnect spark plug
and wait for chipper shredder to come
to a complete stop.
2.
Remove debris bag. Refer to
Emptying Debris Bag paragraph
under Operation for correct
procedure.
3.
Loosen the two wing knobs (9) on
either side of the chute deflector (10)
and pivot the chute deflector upward.
4.
Remove the hairpin (22) from the
clevis pin (23) which extends through
the housing and shredder grate.
Remove the clevis pin.
