Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and ground against engine before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of maintenance on your machine.

Maintenance and Storage

1.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

2.Check bolts and screws for proper tightness at frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage and repair, if needed.

3.Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

4.Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

5.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

6.Follow this manual for safe loading, unloading, transporting, and storage of this machine.

7.Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, etc.

8.Always refer to the operator’s manual for proper instructions on off-season storage.

9.If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

10.Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

If the Chipper Becomes Clogged:

If the discharge area becomes clogged:

Stop the engine. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and ground against the engine.

Remove the large funnel and the clean out the access hatch on the side of the chipper engine box (as necessary).

Reach in and clear the debris causing the blockage. Reinstall the funnel and the clean out access hatch.

Connect the spark plug wire and restart.

NOTE: If the blockage is severe, the hammer screen within the discharge chute can be removed as well, providing greater access. To accomplish this, remove the pins and slide the flail screen out of the discharge chute.
