End of Season and Storage

•BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.

•NEVER STORE THE DR 10 HP CHIPPER WITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK INSIDE A BUILDING WHERE IGNITION SOURCES ARE PRESENT, SUCH AS HOT WATER AND SPACE HEATERS, CLOTHES DRYERS AND THE LIKE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRAIN THE FUEL TANK, DO THIS OUTDOORS. ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE.

•WHEN NOT IN USE, YOUR DR 10 HP CHIPPER SHOULD BE STORED OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND IN A DRY LOCATION.

NOTE: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for engine-specific procedures.

•Check the Chipper Knife and Wear Plate for nicks and wear.

•Check the Drive Belt for wear.

•Change the oil (and oil filter, if applicable).

•Lubricate all grease fittings. See page 26.

•Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Reinstall the plug and pull the recoil starter rope until you feel strong resistance. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.

•Clean or replace the air filter.

•Clean any dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, blower housing, debris screen and muffler area of the engine.

•If your engine has a fuel filter, replace it.

•If your DR 10 HP CHIPPER will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will prevent sediment from gumming up the carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the tank. Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate. Close the Fuel Shut-Off Valve to prevent carburetor overflow and leakage.
