IMPORTANT: There is a flail screen located inside the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in the Service and Adjustments section. For best per- formance, it is important to keep the shredding blade and the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate at which the material is dis- charged slows down considerably, it is likely that the shredding blade and/or chipper blades are dull and

need to be replaced. Refer to Service and

Adjustments section.

SAE 30

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your oil level more fre- quently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

•Fill engine with oil as follows. Remove oil fill dip- stick. See figure 12. With chipper-shredder level, use a funnel to fill engine with oil to FULL mark on dipstick. Capacity is approximately 1-1/4 pints (20 oz.). Be careful not to overfill. Tilt chipper-shreddertoward the left (from behind the hopper), then re- level. Check oil level. Refill to FULL mark on dip- stick if necessary. Replace dipstick and tighten.
