Add engine oil to the gearbox (Fig. 17/Arrow B)
Never attempt to start the machine unless it has an adequate
amount of SAE 15 W 40 oil in the engine block. It is possible that
when the machine is supplied it contains no engine oil. If the
machine is operated without (adequate) engine oil, the engine will
be damaged. Place the machine on a flat surface and remove the
oil tank cover. Add engine oil up to the last thread on the filler neck.
Move the petrol cock (Fig. 16 Arrow B) to the "ON" position.
Move the engine switch (Fig. 17/Arrow A) to the "ON" position.
Slide the throttle to position
See arrow
If the engine is cold, move the choke lever (Fig. 16 Arrow A) into
the "ON" position until it has warmed up (around 1-2 minutes).
When the engine has been started and is running smoothly, move
the choke lever to OFF (disable it).
The speed of the engine can be controlled using the throttle.
Pushing the lever towards the operator reduces the speed of the
engine, pushing it away from the operator increases its speed.
Pull the starter cord as follows:
Please note
Hold the engine securely by the frame with one hand. Take hold of
the starter cord in your other hand and pull it slowly until you feel
resistance and the starter element is in the required position. When
you can feel resistance, pull the cord powerfully in a single tug.
Repeat this process until the engine starts. Do not simply release
the starter cord, you should always return it to its position loosely in
one hand. If the engine does not start after several attempts, check
whether the fuel tank has been filled correctly. There may be too
much fuel in the cylinder, thus making the spark plug damp
Remove the spark plug, clean it, dry it and reinstall it.
Switch off the engine
Slide the throttle to position
See arrow
Move the engine switch (Fig. 17/Arrow) to the "OFF" position.
Shredding
Place the material for shredding slowly into the hopper.
Always use the pushing tool to push material into the hopper. Do
not add the material too quickly as the shredding unit requires
a certain time to shred the material.
Blockages
If the shredding process does not work due to parts being blocked
in the machine:
•
Switch off the engine and wait until all moving parts have
reached a standstill.
•
Disconnect the spark plug connector.
•
Remove the filler tube (Fig. 1; Item F)
•
Remove the shaft (Fig. 1; Item W)
•
Remove the suction tube (Fig. 4)
•
Put on a pair of safety gloves
•
Remove all the blocking parts in the turbine housing and on
the screen (Fig. 10)
Knife replacement
If the shredded material is no longer cut cleanly, if the shredding
noise is very loud or if the shredded material is no longer caught
correctly by the hopper, this could be due to the knives being blunt.
•
Switch off the engine and wait until all moving parts have
reached a standstill.
•
Disconnect the spark plug connector.
•
Remove the maintenance flap on the rear part of the turbine
housing (Fig. 11)
•
Put on a pair of safety gloves
•
Turn the knife shaft until the knives are accessible through the
maintenance flap. (Fig. 12)
•
Unscrew the knives through the maintenance flap (remember
the position of the knives as the new ones must be installed in
–
the same position
with the blades at the top).
Tip: The knives can be turned once since they have blades at both
sites.
Operation
In the event of dangerous situations or accidents, move the
engine switch as quickly as possible to the "OFF" position to
stop the engine.
During operation ensure that cooling and combustion air can
be drawn in freely by the engine (leaves can block the intake
ducts). Also ensure that the exhaust gases can escape freely.
Operation and vacuuming
The machine has two forward speeds and two reverse speeds.
First select the required speed (Fig. 1; Item 3).
Press the clutch lever (Fig. 1; Item 2).
The machine will start to move.
Vacuuming with the extended nozzle
If you need to use the leaf vacuum in areas with difficult access, we
recommend you fit the extended nozzle. To do so, unscrew the
nozzle and fit the vacuum hose (Fig. 14 and 15).
Ending work or breaks
After completing the last vacuuming cycle, allow the machine to
continue at idling speed without a load for 1 to 2 minutes. (Cooling
phase for the engine)
What to do in an emergency
Administer the appropriate first aid for the injury and request
medical assistance as quickly as possible. Protect the injured
person from further harm and keep him or her calm.
A first aid kit which complies with DIN 13164 should be to
hand at the workplace at all times to provide treatment in the
event of an accident. Material removed from the first aid kit
should be replaced without delay.
When requesting assistance, provide the following
information:
1. Location of accident
2. Type of accident
3. Number of injured people
4. Type of injuries
Inspection and maintenance
It is essential that you have any repair work carried out exclusively
by trained personnel.
Disconnect the spark plug connector before carrying out any
modifications, settings or maintenance work on the machine.
Safety information for inspection and maintenance work
- Ensure that no fuel escapes
The leaf vacuum and shredder must be cleaned after use,
particularly the nozzle.

General information
Pay particular attention to the safety information
Regular maintenance work is essential to ensure that your leaf
vacuum and shredder functions perfectly.
