Engine Oil Replacement
1. Place the machine on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes. Stop the
engine.
2. Remove the oil filler cap (Pic.5, 5.1).
3. Place an oil pan under the engine. Remove the oil drain plug (Pic.5, 5.2) so that the oil can be
completely drained. You will need to use a tube or other similar device to prevent the oil leaking
onto the frame of the Chipper Shredder.
4. Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap, and O-ring. If any of these are damaged, replace
the part.
5. Reinstall the oil drain plug.
6. Add engine oil to the upper level of the dipstick (Pic.6, 6.1).
Air Filter
After every 100 hours of running, or every month, the air filter (Pic.19, 19.1) should be removed,
examined for deterioration, and cleaned. Clean it thoroughly using an environmentally friendly, water-
based, degreasing agent. Allow it to dry fully, then replace it.
⚠WARNING
Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
Fuel Tank Filter
After every 150 hours of running or every three months the fuel tank filter (Pic.20, 20.1) should be
removed and cleaned. Remove the fuel tank filler cap and the filter, clean the filter thoroughly using
environmentally friendly water based degreasing agent and re-fit.
Replacing Blades
Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins to deteriorate, or if you
notice dings, chips, or cracks.
1. TURN OFF THE MACHINE, ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP,
AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE!
2. Remove the side cover plate to expose the blades (Pic.21).
3. Remove one blade, rotate the impeller, and remove the second blade.
4. Have the original blades professionally sharpened, or order a replacement set, then re-install the
blades.
5. Replace the side cover plate and re-attach the spark plug wire.
