NOTE: Do not allow the dipstick to rub along the inside walls of the oil fill tube when removing it. Doing somay result in a false dipstick reading.

Check oil level three times prior to starting engine to be certain you'vegotten an accurate dipstick reading.

IMPORTANT:Running the engine with too little oil can result in permanent engine damage.

Gasoline

Type of Fuel

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days.

Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Your chipper shredder's engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

NOTE: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, are gasoline blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether.

Fuel Fill-up

Remove fuel cap from the fuel tank.

Make sure the container from which you will pour the gasoline is clean and free from rust or foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of storage in itscontainer.

Gasoline that has been sitting for any period longer than four weeks is considered stale.

The fuel tank has a capacity of three (3) quarts. Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded regular, unleaded premium or reformulated automotive gasoline only.

Replace fuel cap.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run

until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE section for

additional information.

WARNING: Use extreme care when

handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

Check the fuel level periodically to avoid running out of gasoline while operating the chipper shredder. If the unit runs out of gas while operating, it may be necessary to unclog the unit before it can be restarted.

Refer to SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT section.

Starting Engine

WARNING: The muffler and surrounding area will be hot if the engine has been running. Use caution and protect your hands if working near the muffler.

If not already attached, attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the rubber boot on the end of the spark plug is snapped securely over the metal tip on the spark plug. Refer to Figure 9 for spark plug wire location.
