Add Engine Oil
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
1. Place the chipper-shredder on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.45 qt. (0.5 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
NO OIL IN UNIT
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the chipper-
shredder as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.

Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the
break-in period for the engine. During the break-in
period we recommend using standard automotive
non-synthetic blended oils. After the break-in
period synthetic lubricant can be used but is not
required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down
and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Using synthetic lubricants does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.
NOTE
