Storage
Follow these guidelines when storing your Chipper Shredder.
 Remove the spark plug wire to prevent unauthorized starting.
 Empty the bag before storing to keep the mulch from rotting in the bag.
 Place the Chipper Shredder in a dry, level area. If the Chipper Shredder is tipped it may leak oil
and gas.
 DO NOT store the Chipper Shredder near an ignition source, such as a wood stove, gas or
electric heater, or an appliance or heater with a pilot light.
 Store the Chipper Shredder in a well ventilated area. DO NOT store the Chipper Shredder in an
area that will allow toxic gas fumes into areas inhabited by humans or animals.
 Close the discharge chute deflector and place the covers over the hopper and the funnel to
prevent objects or critters from getting into the machine.
