fumesmayreachan open flame or spark, or where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.

A yearly check-up by your local Sears service center is a good way to make certain your chipper-shredder will provide maximum performance for the next season.

1.CHIPPER-SHREDDER

Clean the chipper-shredder thoroughly.

Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust (use a light oil or silicone).

2. ENGINE

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Drain the fuel tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain which is located below the carburetor.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur.

Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.

Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the

carburetor.

Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be done after the engine has been operated and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the inside of the engine as follows.

Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

3. OTHER

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light off or sificone.
