technician.  Do not attempt any chipper maintenance or servicing if you are not competent to do 

so, or if you do not have the correct tools available.

Engine starts but does not idle

Possible Fault 

 

Action

Lack of Fuel  

 

Check that there is fuel in the tank and the fuel system is  

 

 

 

 

 

 

primed.  To further check if fuel is reaching the carburettor,    

 

 

 

 

 

remove the carburettor drain plug, and check if fuel drains.

Engine “OFF” 

 

Ensure engine ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.  Ensure that the

 

 

 

 

emergency engine stop button is not engaged.

Not enough or too   

Check oil level, to ensure that the level is at or just below the 

much engine oil 

 

recommend maximum level.

to a part of the engine crankcase, away from the spark plug hole, and  

 

 

 

 

attempt to start the engine – a spark should be visible across the 

 

 

 

 

electrodes as the engine is rotated. If no spark is visible, replace the  

    spark 

plug.

Engine flooded 

 

Place the choke in “HOT” or “RUN” position. Leave the ON/OFF switch

adjustment   

 

reasonable speed when idling

Excessive vibration

Possible Fault 

 

Action

Material too large or  

Remove overly large branches from chipper.  Reduce size of material

incorrect type 

 

being chipped.  Reduce feed rate of material.  Ensure all chutes are  

 

 

 

 

free of obstacles and non-chippable materials (stones/metal etc)  

 

Blades dull or  

 

Sharpen or replace cutting blades

Blade clearance  

 

Check that cutting blade clearance is between 0.6-0.8mm 

 

incorrect
