Common

(and Expensive)

Mistakes

Sure-fire ways to shorten the life of your chipper-shredder-vac while incurring costly repairs along the way:

•Neglecting the engine’s need for fresh, clean oil.

•Not cleaning the engine recoil of debris or changing the air filter from time to time. Over-heating results, burning out the engine.

•Chipping dead wood or lumber and not sharpening the knives more often.

•Forcing branches down the chipper when the knives are dull and not self-feeding.

•The occasional, if accidental, railroad spike, brick, 2 x 4, barbed wire, and/or gardening tool “down the hatch” routine.
