Use and Care Manual
Remove the spark plug and drain all oil from the
cylinder before attempting to start the unit after
storage.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based
cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage plastics.
Do not store your chipper shredder with fuel in a non-
ventilated area where fuel fumes could reach ames,
sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sources.
Use only approved fuel containers.
STORAGE
If your chipper shredder will not be used for more than 30 days,
follow the steps below to prepare your unit for storage :
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stale fuel has high gum con tent
and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel ow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures
no fuel is left in the carburetor and helps prevent deposits from
forming inside, which can damage the engine.
3. Drain the oil from the engine while it is still warm. Rell with
fresh oil of the grade recommended in the engine manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 60 ml
of SAE-30 high-quality engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the chipper shredder
and to keep the air vents free from obstructions.
6. Store your chipper shredder in an upright position in a clean, dry
building with good ventilation.
