MAINTENANCE
•
Before operating make sure the tyres have the
RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURE OF 20 PSI (Do
not exceed)
. We recommend the use of
FOOT or HAND
inflation devices only. Do not use
electric or mechanical inflation devices. This is a garden/domestic product, therefore extended
use over abrasive surfaces (e.g. concrete, tarmac etc.) could cause premature wear on the tyres.
•
After the first hour
’
s use check that the bolts of the blades and counter blade are firmly fixed
and that the gap between blades and counter blade is 0.5mm (half a millimetre). Adjust in the
slots if necessary and fix the bolts. Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt any
maintenance or repair work not described in the instruction manual. Have all other work
performed by an approved service dealer.
•
We recommend that servicing & repair work is carried out by an approved service dealer.
•
Before proceeding to adjust or repair the machine, be sure to stop the engine and detach the
spark plug.
•
All technical check-ups and maintenance should be done with the engine shut off and the spark
plug cap removed from the spark plug.
•
We recommend the machine is cleaned with a brush after each use.
•
While cleaning the machine, never spray the bearing with a high-pressure washer. It could cause
water to enter the bearings which will cause damage to the machine; (this is not covered by
warranty). The two grease nipples on the rotating blade require lubricating once a year or every
500 hours.
•
Before putting the shredder into storage grease or oil the bearings, blades and rotating
mechanism to protect against corrosion.
IMPORTANT:
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufac
turer’s specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation.
Engine repairs must be made by an approved service dealer for the engine manufacturer. The
engine has a separate warranty to the machine. Refer to the engine manual supplied with the
machine for full information and details.
STORAGE
•
Never allow material to remain in or on the machine for extended periods of time.
•
Before storing make sure the spreader is clean and dry for years of trouble free service.
•
Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months.
