8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
WARNING:
Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a
complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the
machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas
tank, or performing any maintenance and repairs.
8.1.1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Before and after every use of the wood chipper, it is recommended that the
following inspection process takes place. This is quick and easy, and
ensures your safety as well as the machine’s performance.
1. Check the chutes and guards for cracks, holes and loose bolts.
2. Check the frame and base of the machine for cracks or damages.
3. Check all the bolts and screws to ensure tightness.
4. Wear gloves, and check the blades are not cracked or loose.
5. Check the engine oil level using a dipstick.
8.1.2. CLEANING
It is strongly recommended to clean the machine after every use. After
finishing the job, turn off the machine, allow the engine to cool fully, and
remove the spark plug.
Brush off or vacuum excess wood chippings and wipe off the remaining dust
from the exterior of the machine with a dry cloth. Do not expose the
machine to water or attempt to clean by pouring water on/into it. Remove
any chips or debris from the hopper and the discharge chute.
It is increasingly difficult to clean this machine the longer you let it sit
unclean. The machine’s performance will naturally decrease if it is not
properly cared after.
To clean the engine from built-up resins, you may need to purchase an
engine cleaner.
