Additional Long Term Storage Procedures
If you have been using your chipper/shredder regularly, this is a good time to perform your regular
maintenance before storing your unit.
Perform
pre-storage
maintenance

Change the oil.

Change the fuel filter.

Clean or replace the air filter. (see Engine manual)

Lubricate all grease fittings (see ―Maintenance & Repair: Lubrication‖).

Check drive belt for wear and chipping knife, shredding knife, shredding
hammer for nicks and wear (see ―Maintenance & Repair‖).
Start
chipper/shredder
every 4 weeks
The chipper/shredder should be started regularly. At least every four weeks,
start the engine and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes.
Monthly exercising of the chipper/shredder will dry out any moisture that
has accumulated, lubricate cylinders, and clean out old gas in the carburetor.
Moisture, old gas and dry mechanical parts cause deterioration and hard
starting of stored engines.
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 potential leakage.
Prepare engine for
long-term
(seasonal) storage if
needed If you will not be able to start the chipper/shredder regularly, you must
prepare the engine for long-term storage to prevent gum deposits from
forming and causing malfunction of the engine.
Prepare engine for long-term storage by:
Removing all gasoline from the tank and carburetor
OR
Adding fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer’s instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:

Ensure gas tank is full.

Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.

Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it
to enter the fuel system.

Shut off engine

Disconnect spark plug wires and remove spark plugs.

Add one teaspoon oil through spark plug holes.

Place rag over spark plug holes and turn starter a few times to
lubricate the combustion chamber.

Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire.
