or impeller.
Engine
NOTE: In the state of Ca lifornia, the 110000 se ries
engines covered in this manual are certified by th e
California Air Resources Bo ard to meet emissions
standards for 250 hours. Such certification does not
grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine
any additional warranties with respec t to the
performance or operational life of this engine. This
engine is warranted solely according to the product and
emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.
Bore 2-11/16 in. (68 mm)
Stroke 2-13/64 in. (56 mm)
Displacement 12.48 cu. in.(206 cc)
IMPORTANT: For practical operation, the horsepower
loading should not ex ceed 85% of rated horsepower.
Engine power will decrease 3-1/2% for each 1,000 feet
(300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each 10° F
(5.6° C) above 77° F (25° C). Engine will operate
satisfactorily at an angle up to 15 degrees.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls the engine speed and stop
function.
Choke Control
The choke control closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting a cold engine.
Starter Handle
The starter handle is located on the engine. Pull the
starter handle to start engine.
Stopping Engine
• Move throttle control lever to ST OP position. See
Figure 7.
Figure 7
WARNING: When moving throttle c ontrol
lever, be careful of heated surfaces on muffler
guard.
CAUTION: Never stop the engine by
moving the choke lever into the CHOKE
position. Backfire, fire or engine damage
could result.
Gas And Oil Fill-up
Oil (one 20-oz. bottle included)
IMPORTANT: The chipper shredder is shipped without
oil in the engine.
Type of Oil
1. Refer to the chart below for proper grade of oil.
2. Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For
service SF, SG,SH, SJ” or higher.
3. Do not use special additives.
Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification and
API service symbo l with “SJ/CF Energy Conserving” or
higher is an ac ceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of
synthetic oil does not alter required oil change inte rvals.
• Remove oil fill dipstick.
• With the Chipper Shred der on level ground, use a
funnel to fill engine with oil to FULL mark on
dipstick. Capacity is 20 oz . (0.6 liter). Be c areful
not to overfill. Overfilling will cau se the engine to
smoke profusely and will result in poor engine
performance. The oil bottle packaged with your
Chipper Shredder contains 20 oz. of oil.
• Before operating the chipper shredd er, check the
oil level as follows:
• Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and reinsert it in
the oil fill tube.

* CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive
engines. The use of non -synthetic multi-vi scosity oils (5W-
30, 10W-30 etc .) in temperatures ab ove 40°F will result in
higher than normal oil consu mption. When using a multi-
viscosity oi l, check oil le vel more frequent ly.
** CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F, will result in
hard starting and possible engine bore dama ge due to
inadequate lu brication.
