Do not use strong detergents or
petroleum based cleaners when
cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage plastics.
Do not store wood chipper with
fuel in a non-ventilated area where
fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks,
pilot lights or any ignition sources.
Use only approved fuel containers.
5.Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of
the wood chipper and to keep the air vents
free of obstructions.
6.Store your wood chipper in upright position
in a clean, dry building that has good
ventilation.
STORAGE
If the wood chipper will not be used for a
period longer than 30 days, following the
steps below to prepare your unit for storage.
1.Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel
containing ethanol or MTBE can start to
go stalein 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum
content and can clog the carburetor and
restrict fuel flow.
2.Start the engine and allow it to run until
it stops.This ensures no fuel is left in the
carburetor. Run the engine until it stops. This
helps prevent deposits from forming inside
the carburetor and possible engine damage.
3.While the engine is still warm, drain the oil
from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the
grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
4.Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark
plug and put 60 ml of SAE-30 of high quality
engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the
spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and drain all
of the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the unit after
storage.
