Regular Maintenance
LUBE STARTER DRIVE GEAR
The starter drive gear should be lubricated once a year
or every 100 hours, or as needed. Lubricate the drive
gear with a light weight oil.
LUBRICATE WHEEL AXLES
To lubricate, squirt 3-5 drops of engine oil on each wheel
axle. Wipe up any run-off and spin wheels briefly to work
oil around entire axle.
INSPECT CHIPPER CONE &
SHREDDER HOPPER
The chipper cone and shredder hopper are made of a
highly durable polyethylene material that can withstand
repeated abrasion and impact from normal
chipper/shredder waste material processing.
Check these parts to make sure that they haven't been
damaged or worn excessively by constant use, and
replace them if they are cracked, worn out, or no longer
fit securely on the chipper/shredder unit.
Contact your local authorized dealer for replacement
parts.
Cracks, worn areas, and loose attachment points can
cause material to jam or clog when feeding it into the
machine, and may result in kick-back or other hazard to
the operator.
Contact your local dealer for replacement parts if your
unit shows any evidence of these problems, and discon-
tinue use of the unit until the appropriate repairs can be
made.
Never try to make temporary repairs yourself, as the
repairs could give way during chipper/shredder opera-
tion, and expose you and bystanders in the area to risk
of injury.
Never attempt to install non-factory parts on your chip-
per/shredder unit. These parts could appear to fit, but
could cause operating and safety problems that might
lead to equipment damage and/or injury.
