ATTACHING MULCH BAG Place a heavy duty trash bag
using the mulch bag strap. (Fig. 6)
TOP HOPPER-FRONT CHUT The large sloping front
chute of the Top Hopper is designed to accept leaves
and small garden clippings. Shredding and mulching is
achieved by natural suction of the debris through the
blade chamber.
Do not overfeed and do not feed wet, soggy material into
the Shredder as this may clog the blade chamber and the
discharge chute. (Fig. 7)
TOPHOPPER-BLACK CHUTE The smaller back chute of
the top Hopper accepts medium to larger size garden
clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same
action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required
than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again
until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 8).
Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper
chutes.
SIDE CHUTE The elongated chute located at the rear of
the machine is specially designed to accept solid garden
clippings and branches up to 1-1/2" (38mm) in diameter.
IMPORTANT: When feeding long, large diameter materi-
al, control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material
so as not to stall or overload the motor. (Fig. 9)
WARNING:
hands inside the geeding chutes while the
machine is operation. Force feeding of debris is
not necessary due to the natural suction action
of the shredder.
