Product Manual

Your YARDMAX chipper is equipped with two large wheels for easy movement by hand. To move the unit, grip the handles and tilt the
chipper slightly after making sure the oil tank cover is tightened.
Never use a pressure washer to clean your chipper.
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.
