Daily Checklist for the 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER

To help maintain your 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER for optimum performance, we recommend
you follow this checklist each time you use your Chipper.
SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP,
REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION ON THE CHIPPER.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the Engine oil level with the Dipstick and add more
if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the Dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use SAE 30
high detergent motor oil.
[ ] GAS: Fill the Fuel Tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the Engine clean of debris. Remove
leaves and other built-up materials from the Air Intake Screen before, during, and after using the
Chipper. Regularly remove debris from the Cooling Fins. A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause
damage to the internal Engine parts.
[ ] BELT: Check the Belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.
[ ] KNIFE and WEAR PLATE: Check the Knife and Wear Plate for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] HOPPER: Check that there is no material left in the hopper before starting the Chipper.
