Use and Care Manual
Your YARDMAX chipper shredder is equipped with two large pneumatic wheels for easy movement by hand. To move the unit, grip the handles and
tilt the chipper shredder slightly after making sure the oil tank cover is tightened.
Never use a pressure washer to clean your chipper
shredder. Water can penetrate tight areas of the unit
and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or
the engine .
Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop, remove the spark plug
wire, and then wait five minutes before performing
maintenance on the chipper.
