Daily Checklist for the DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder
To help maintain your DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time
you use your Chipper Shredder.
[ ] Check the Engine oil and Fuel Tank level.
[ ] Check that Engine is clean of debris.
[ ] Remove any unprocessed material from the Chipper Chute and Shredder Hopper.
[ ] Check the general condition of the Chipper Shredder, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check Tire Pressure and wear.
[ ] Check the Chipper Knife for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] Check the Blowback Guards and Discharge Guard for wear and damage.
End of Season and Storage
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 Hammers/Spacers.
If your DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder 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.
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 Chipper Shredder in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the machine outside, after the
DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder 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.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool.
Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
