7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
Maintaining your wood chipper will ensure long life to the machine and its
components.
7.2.
Preventive maintenance.
7.2.1.
Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
7.2.2.
Keep the engine’s throttle lever in its SLOW position, and remove spark plug
wire from spark plug and secure.
7.2.3.
Inspect the general condition of the wood chipper. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any
other condition that may affect its safe operation.
7.2.4.
Remove all debris from the wood chipper with a soft brush, vacuum, or
compressed air. Then use a premium quality light weight machine oil to
lubricate all moving parts.
7.2.5.
Replace spark plug wire.
NEVER use a “pressure washer” to clean your wood chipper. Water
can penetrate tight areas of the unit and cause damage to spindles,
pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will
result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop, remove plug wire, and then wait for 5 minutes before
performing maintenance on the chipper.
7.3.
Regular maintenance check list.
Consider that the service intervals shown are the maximum under
normal operating conditions. Increase frequencies under extremely
dirty or dusty conditions.
