Avoid these areas.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the pivot points on the release rod bracket,
hopper assembly, and chute deflector once a
season using a light oil. 

CLEANING

• Clean engine periodically. Remove dirt and

debris with a cloth or brush.  

• Frequently remove leaves, dirt and debris

from cooling fins, air intake screen and levers
and linkage. This will help ensure adequate
cooling and correct engine speed.

• Clean the chipper shredder by running water

from a hose through the hopper assembly and
chipper chute with the engine running. Allow
the chipper-shredder to dry thoroughly.

NOTE: 

Cleaning with a forceful  spray of water is

not recommended as water could contaminate the
fuel system.

• Wash the bag periodically with water. Allow to

dry thoroughly in the shade. Do not use heat. 

ENGINE OIL 

The engine oil is the most important “insurance
policy” your new chipper shredder has.  It protects it
from excess wear and tear and helps the cooling
process.  It is important that you maintain the engine
oil at the proper level and that it is changed on a
regular basis.

• Service the engine oil according to the

separate engine owner’s guide supplied with
your chipper shredder.

To Drain Oil
Drain oil while engine is warm. Follow the
instructions given below.

• Remove oil drain plug or cap. The plug or cap

is located in front of the engine or under the
frame. Catch oil in a suitable container.

• When engine is drained of all oil, replace drain

plug or cap securely.

• Refill with fresh oil.

• Replace dipstick. 

AIR CLEANER 

The air cleaner prevents damaging dirt, dust, etc.,
from entering the carburetor and being forced into
the engine and is important to engine life and
performance.  Never run the engine without air
cleaner completely assembled. 

• Service the air cleaner according to the

separate engine owner’s guide supplied with
your chipper shredder.

CARBURETOR 

WARNING: 

If any adjustments are made

to the engine while the engine is running (e.g.
carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts.
Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler. 

• Service the carburetor according to the

separate engine owner’s guide supplied with
your chipper shredder.

ENGINE SPEED 

• The engine speed on your chipper-shredder

has been set at the factory.  Do not attempt to
increase engine speed or it may result in
personal injury. If you believe the engine is
running too fast or too slow, take your chipper-
shredder to the nearest service center for
repair and adjustment.

SPARK PLUG 

• Service the spark plug according to the

separate engine owner’s guide supplied with
your chipper shredder.

REMOVING THE FLAIL SCREEN 

If the discharge area becomes clogged, remove the
flail screen and clean area as follows: See Figure 9.

1.

Stop engine, make certain the chipper-shredder
has come to a complete stop and disconnect
spark plug wire from the spark plug before
unclogging the chute. 

2.

Remove the two hand knobs on each side of the
discharge chute (also called the chute deflector). 

3.

Lift the discharge chute up, and keep it out of
the way. 

4.

Remove two hairpin clips from the clevis pins
which extend through the housing. Remove the
clevis pins.

5.

Pull the flail screen from inside the housing. 

6.

Clean the screen by scraping or washing with
water.
