Daily Checklist for the SHREDDER-CHIPPER
To help maintain your shredder-chipper for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use
your shredder-chipper.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five (5) minutes to allow all parts to cool.
Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
[ ] Check the Engine oil and Fuel Tank level.
[ ] Check that Engine is clean of debris.
[ ] Inspect the Chipper/Hopper(s) for accumulated debris.
[ ] Check the general condition of the Chipper/Shredder, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check Belt for wear and/or stretching.
[ ] Check the Chipper Knife for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] Check the Debris Guard for wear and damage.
[ ] Remove any debris wrapped around the Hammer(s) Rotor.
End of Season and Storage
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five (5) minutes to allow all parts to cool.
Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
•
Change the Engine oil.
•
Clean or replace the Air Filter.
•
Check the Chipper Knife and Hammers for nicks and wear.
•
Remove any debris wrapped around the Hammer Rotor.
•
If your shredder-chipper will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will prevent sediment from
gumming up the Carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the tank. Completely fill the tank
with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the Engine for a short time to
allow the additive to circulate. Close the Fuel Shut-Off Valve to prevent carburetor overflow and leakage.
•
Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted
surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.
•
Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
•
Inspect moving parts and the Drive Belt for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
•
Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the Cylinder hole. Replace the Plug and crank the Engine over a
couple of times using the Pull Cord. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.
•
If possible, store the shredder-chipper in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the machine outside, after the
shredder-chipper has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use
plastic as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which will cause your machine to rust.
