Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Chipper Capacity, craftsman, diameter


Question
John,
I just bought a used Craftsman chipper model # 247.796891 with a 5 hp B&S motor but don't have an owners manual. Can you tell me the maximim limb diameter this model can safely handle?

Answer
Hello Rick:

This is a Small Brush Chipper. I Suggest a Maximum of 2" Diameter. Any Larger and you will Cause Damage to the Impeller Housing. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
