SuperHandy Wood Chipper, Shredder, Mulcher

Assembly was easy. Some have complained that the oil dipstick is inaccessible under the Shute, they failed to notice there is a dipstick on both sides of the engine.It took me a day to realize the machine utilizes a vacuum to help feed the machine. So when using the top shut the cove must be on the side shut, conversely when using the side shut the sliding door on top must be closed. There is a learning curve to feeding the chipper, ideally, creating a continuous column of mixed (leaves, sticks some bottom first some top first all overlapping. That way there is always something pushing from behind. Sticks with forks or sharp bends won’t feed.I’m not sure what the large top shut is for, perhaps dry leavesChanging the chipper blades is a bit challenging. The machine is all metric, and a metric Allen wrench is required. The back and Shute must be removed. The bolts are partially cover by the machine and it’s very easy drop them into the enclosure.It’s loud, ear protection well advisedUpdateI used the chipper about 6 days over a 2 month period. It was sometimes hard to start, but ran well. Yesterday I tried to start it and was unable, tried everything. I finally did a compression check, result 60lb dry, 80lb wet. ie the engine is shot, the return period has closed, no warranty support. Buy at your own risk.Third updateThe problem turned out to be a bad ignition coil, it failed after just 6 daysFourth updateUpdate to engine problems, eventually the engine would not start at all. I’m a don’t your seller, I methodically checked everything to find the cause, in the end it was a faulty spark plug.
