HOW TO STOP YOUR CHIPPER VAC ⢠To stop engine, move the throttle control lever to the OFF position. ⢠Disconnect spark plug wire from plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended or is being worked on. CAUTION: The muffler and adjacent areas are holt HOW TO START YOUR CHIPPER VAC i_ WARNING: Never start or run the engine without all covers being properly attached to the blower housing and cart. ⢠Check oil and gas in Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. ⢠Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may not require choking.) ⢠Move throffle control lever on engine to FAST posi- tion. ⢠Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull stightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. ⢠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. ⢠Repeat instructions in two preceding paragraphs until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke control gradually to RUN position. HOW TO USE YOUR CHIPPER VAC & CAUTION: Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with the addition of an accessory or an attachment. Be aware of changing conditions on slopes. ⢠Inspect the Chipper Vac to make sure all covers (rear door, hard top boot, elbow, chipper chute with tamper plug, hose adapter (nozzle), hose and deck adapter are properly attached. ⢠Check tires for proper inflation (12 - 14 Ibs). ⢠Check oil and gas in Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Begin operation at low speed, adjusting forward speed to match grass height and/or moisture condi- tion to prevent clogging. ⢠Do not attempt to vacuum up any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard, such as light branches, leaves, twigs, etc. ⢠To empty cart, shut off tractor engine and set brake. ⢠Shut off Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Remove rear door from cart.

USING THE CHIPPER CHUTE ⢠Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute as shown in figure 37. ⢠Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when feeding material into the chipper chute. ⢠Use the tamper plug, not your hands, to force material down through the chipper chute. For best performance, it is important to keep the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stnngy, etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider- ably, it is likely that the chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the Service and Adjustments section, on page 21. & WARNING: Do not attempt to feed an_i material larger than 3" in diameter into the chipper chute. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result. & DANGER: Keep hands out of chipper chute. Rotating blades in impeller housing can cause serious injury. Use the tamper plug to help push material clown into the chute. FIGURE 37 19

PLUG TAMPER Fits down into the chipper chute as a guard when not in use. Pushes material down into the chute for chipping and shredding. TARP STRAP Hooks onto the side of the cart to hold the rear door securely up against the rear of the cart. CHIPPER CHUTE Used to hand feed yard vegetation, including branches up to 3" in diameter, into impeller housing for chipping and shredding. LATCH LOCK Locks the cart bed down to the tongue. Releases to allow cart to be tipped back for dumping. 17
BEFORE STARTING ⢠Your Chipper Vac engine is shipped without oil or gasoline. Service the Chipper Vac engine with oil and gas as instructed in the separate engine manual. ⢠Inspect the Chipper Vac to make sure all covers (rear door, hard top boot, elbow, hose adapter, hose and deck adapter are property attached. ⢠Check tires for proper inflation (12 - 14 Ibs). WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, or with the engine running, or while the engine is hot. Do not smoke while filling tank. HOW TO STOP YOUR CHIPPER VAC ⢠To stop engine, move the throttle control lever to the OFF position. ⢠Disconnect spark plug wire from plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended or is being worked on. CAUTION: The muffler and adjacent areas are holt HOW TO START YOUR CHIPPER VAC i_ WARNING: Never start or run the engine without all covers being properly attached to the blower housing and cart. ⢠Check oil and gas in Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. ⢠Move choke lever on engine to CHOKE position. (A warm engine may not require choking.) ⢠Move throffle control lever on engine to FAST posi- tion. ⢠Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull stightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. ⢠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. ⢠Repeat instructions in two preceding paragraphs until engine fires. When engine starts, move choke control gradually to RUN position. HOW TO USE YOUR CHIPPER VAC & CAUTION: Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with the addition of an accessory or an attachment. Be aware of changing conditions on slopes. ⢠Inspect the Chipper Vac to make sure all covers (rear door, hard top boot, elbow, chipper chute with tamper plug, hose adapter (nozzle), hose and deck adapter are properly attached. ⢠Check tires for proper inflation (12 - 14 Ibs). ⢠Check oil and gas in Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Begin operation at low speed, adjusting forward speed to match grass height and/or moisture condi- tion to prevent clogging. ⢠Do not attempt to vacuum up any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard, such as light branches, leaves, twigs, etc. ⢠To empty cart, shut off tractor engine and set brake. ⢠Shut off Chipper Vac engine. ⢠Remove rear door from cart. CAUTION: To avoid possible injury, be sure that no one is near the cart before releasing the latch. ⢠Release the latch holding cart down to the tongue by pulling up on the latch lever. See figure 36. ⢠Using a rake or suitable tool, pull the grass clippings and/or leaves out of cart. ⢠After cart is emptied, secure cart to tongue with latch and reattach the rear door and the hard top boot. 1 FIGURE 36 & WARNING: Should your Chipper Vac become clogged, shut off tractor and Chipper Vac engines. Before attempting to unclog, remove wire from spark plug to prevent accidental starting. 18
USING THE CHIPPER CHUTE ⢠Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute as shown in figure 37. ⢠Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when feeding material into the chipper chute. ⢠Use the tamper plug, not your hands, to force material down through the chipper chute. For best performance, it is important to keep the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stnngy, etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider- ably, it is likely that the chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the Service and Adjustments section, on page 21. & WARNING: Do not attempt to feed an_i material larger than 3" in diameter into the chipper chute. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result. & DANGER: Keep hands out of chipper chute. Rotating blades in impeller housing can cause serious injury. Use the tamper plug to help push material clown into the chute. FIGURE 37 19

Remove the blade using a 3/16" alien wrench on the outside ofthe blade and a 1/2" wrench on the impel- ler assembly, inside the housing. ⢠Remove the other blade in the same manner. ⢠Replace or sharpen blades. If sharpening, make certain to remove an equal amount from each blade. Reassemble in reverse order. NOTE: Make certain the blades are reassembled with the sharp edge facing upward, as viewed from the access plate opening.
