GASAND OIL FILL-UP
OIL
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API ser-
vice classification
SG. Select the oil's viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.

32°F
m
Warmer
NOTE: Although
multi-viscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30,
etc.) improve starting
in cold weather,
these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°F. Check your oil level more fre-
quently to avoid possible engine damage from run-
ning low on oil.
• Fill engine with oil as follows. Remove oil fill dip-
stick. See figure 7. With chipper-shredder
level,
use a funnel to fill engine with oil to FULL mark on
dipstick. Capacity is approximately
1-1/4 pints. Be
careful not to overfill. Tilt chipper-shredder
toward
the left (from behind the hopper),
then re-level.
Check oil level. Refill to FULL mark on dipstick if
necessary. Replace dipstick and tighten.

Check the fuel level periodically to avoid running out
of gasoline
while operating
the chipper-shredder.
If
the unit runs out of gas as it is shredding or chipping,
it may be necessary to unclog the unit before it can be
restarted.
Refer to "Removing
the Flail Screen"
in
Service and Adjustment section.
WARNING: EXPERIENCE
INDICATES THAT ALCO-
HOL BLENDED
FUELS (CALLED

FORMATION
OF ACIDS
DURING
STORAGE.
ACIDIC

OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.
TO AVOID
