Remove the spark plug and drain all oil from the
cylinder before attempting to start the unit after
storage.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based
cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage plastics.
Do not store your chipper with fuel in a non-ventilated
area where fuel fumes could reach flames, sparks, pilot
lights or any ignition sources.
Use only approved fuel containers.
STORAGE
If your chipper will not be used for more than 30 days, follow the
steps below to prepare your unit for storage :
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stale fuel has high gum con tent
and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures
no fuel is left in the carburetor and helps prevent deposits from
forming inside, which can damage the engine.
3. Drain the oil from the engine while it is still warm. Refill with
fresh oil of the grade recommended in the engine manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 60 ml
of SAE-30 high-quality engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the chipper and to
keep the air vents free from obstructions.
6. Store your chipper in an upright position in a clean, dry building
with good ventilation.

unit for information on how to check or add oil/fuel and for
recommendations.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE

detailed information and a maintenance schedule.
KNIFE RESHARPENING
After removal, the knives should be sharpened on a surface
grinder. be careful and wear gloves to protect your hands. It is
extremely important to consistently maintain the 38-degree
cutting angle for proper performance.
Make sure there is plenty of coolant used during the grinding
process, since excessive heat damages the knives and weakens
the metal. If you are unable to resharpen the knives your self, take
them to a professional machine shop for proper resharpening.
normally only as light touch-up is needed.
