Storage
Follow these guidelines when storing your chipper/shredder.
Remove the spark plug wire to prevent unauthorized starting.

Place the chipper/shredder in a dry, level area. If the chipper/shredder is tipped it may
leak oil and gas.
DO NOT store the chipper/shredder near an ignition source, such as a wood stove,
gas or electric heater, or an appliance or heater with a pilot light.
Store the chipper/shredder in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT store the
chipper/shredder in an area that will allow toxic gas fumes into areas inhabited by
humans or animals.
Close the discharge chute deflector and place the covers over the hopper and the
funnel to prevent objects or critters from getting into the machine.
If the engine is not to be used or is to be stored for more than one month the following
storage procedure should be carried out. Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and the
carburetor ensure that all the fuel has been removed. Remove the spark plug and
pour approximately one tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole.
With the ignition turned OFF gently pull on the recoil starter cord several times. Re-fit
the spark plug continue to pull the recoil starter cord until the piston is on the
compression stroke (when resistance is felt) then stop pulling.
