SHREDDING TIPS
The hardness of the wood depends on the type
of wood, the time between the pruning and the
shredding and the dryness of the branches. For an
optimum shredding, the branches must be shredded
just after the pruning.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
• If you accidentally press the SC System the
machine will stop.
• The exit chute must be screwed securely to the
machine at all times so as to avoid anybody
getting injured.
• Always ensure that the two screws of the bottom
part of the entry chute are well screwed. If you
want to stop the shredding, leave the machine
working a few minutes so that the shredding
material is expelled completely. Otherwise, the
rotor could get stuck next time the machine is
used
7. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Make periodic inspections of the machine to ensure
that the machine is correct. For a thorough inspection
take the machine to your dealer.
It is necessary to stop the engine and to check
that the cutting tool is stopped before cleaning or
transporting the machine.
Before performing any maintenance or repair the
machine make sure the engine is off and remove
the spark plug cap. Perform all maintenance of the
machine when is set on a flat and clear surface.
Do not adjust the carburetor. If necessary, take your
machine in for service. Carburetor adjustment is
complicated, and only the technical maintenance
service must do them. Incorrectly setting the
carburetor may cause damage to the engine and will
be cause for cancellation of the warranty.
The removal of security devices, an improper
maintenance, the substitution of elements with non
original elements can cause corporal damages.
When cleaning the machine with high pressure water,
never direct the jet at the bearings as these could be
damaged and this would invalidate the warranty.
Grease the bearings, the blades and the rotor against
corrosion before storing the machine.
Before carrying any work on the rotor, block the rotor
using a spanner on the rotor axis.
Check frequently that the emergency button works.
Check regularly the wheel pressure, minimum 1.5 bar
and maximum 1.9 bar.
