SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE

Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and dis- connect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.

Visual Inspection

Before and after using the chipper/shredder, closely inspect the machine for loose parts and damage.

•Check the hopper, hopper guard, and funnel for cracks, holes, and loose bolts.

•Check the box frame for cracks or damage.

•Check the entire machine for loose bolts or screws.

•Check the blades and hammers for cracks and dings.

•Check the engine oil level. See the Briggs & Stratton motor manual for specifications.

Cleaning

Clean the Model G0594 after each use. Allow the motor to cool and remove the spark plug wire. Brush off or vacuum wood chips and wipe off the remaining dust from the exterior of the machine with a dry cloth. DO NOT rinse off the chipper/ shredder with water. Remove any chips or debris from the hopper and the discharge chute.

It is much harder to clean the machine if you allow it to sit for a while after use. You may need to use an engine cleaner to remove the built up resins from the motor. Engine cleaners are available at most auto parts stores.

Storage

Follow these guidelines when storing your chip- per/shredder.

•Remove the spark plug wire to prevent unau- thorized starting.

•Empty the bag before storing to keep the mulch from rotting in the bag.

•DO NOT store the chipper/shredder near an ignition source, such as a wood stove, gas or electric heater, or an appliance or heater with a pilot light.

•Store the chipper/shredder in a well ventilat- ed area. DO NOT store the chipper/shredder in an area that will allow toxic gas fumes into areas inhabited by humans or animals.

•Close the discharge chute deflector and place the covers over the hopper and the funnel to prevent objects or critters from get- ting into the machine.

•When storing for more than 30 days, fol- low the instructions in the Briggs & Stratton motor manual for long term storage.
