TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or
storage.
2. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an
ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to
humans and animals.
3. Always use the hopper handle and built-in wheels to move the chipper shredder. Never lift the unit using
the fuel tank for support. If the unit must be lifted , always use at least two people, and always grip the
unit securely using the front leg and hopper handle.
4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the unit for both
short and long term periods.
5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to
service.
6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water
heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.
Storage
Perform engine maintenance and storage measures listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes draining the
fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel.
NOTE: Do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed structure. (SEE
