The product, in the report: CH3 Wood chipper shredder Serial number: 13112600094
During the second use of my CH3 chipper the machine caught on fire and sustained damage to the belt and engine area.
I first used the chipper on 5/8/2015 for about 2.5 hours chipping branches on my property. During this use the machine operated flawlessly. On my second use of the chipper on 5/13/2015 I had been chipping branches for about 2 hours. The chipper had been operating normally throughout the time I was working. The machine was running while I used my chainsaw to cut some branches I was going to feed into the machine. After cutting the branches I turned my attention back to the chipper and saw flames coming from under the belt guard. I immediately went to the chipper and turned the engine off. I attempted to smother the flames with some dirt, but was unable to get any dirt under the belt guard, and having no tools to remove the belt guard I tipped the machine on it’s side in an attempt reduce the available air, hoping this would smother the flame which was steadily increasing in size. The flames became so large that the air filter/fuel shut off also caught on fire. At this point I was fearful that the chipper would explode (almost a full tank of gas). Fortunately I was able to douse the flames with a bucket of water prior to a catastrophic explosive event occurring.
