Engine oil replacement
Place the machine on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes. Then
stop the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap (Pic.5) (5.1).
Place an oil pan under the engine. Remove the oil drain plug (Pic.5) (5.2) so that the oil
can be completely drained. You will need to use a tube or other similar device to prevent
the oil leaking onto the frame of the chipper/shredder.
Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap and O-ring and if damaged replace.
Reinstall the oil drain plug.
Add engine oil up to the upper level of the dipstick (Pic.6) (6.1).
Air Filter
After every 100 hours of running or every month, the air filter (Pic.19) (19.1) should be
removed, examined for deterioration and cleaned. Clean the air filter thoroughly using
environmentally friendly water based degreasing agent. Allow to dry fully then replace the
air filter. Warning! Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
Fuel tank filter
After every 150 hours of running or every three months the fuel tank filter (Pic.20) (20.1)
should be removed and cleaned. Remove the fuel tank filler cap and the filter, clean the
filter thoroughly using environmentally friendly water based degreasing agent and re-fit.
Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins to deteriorate,
or if you notice dings, chips, or cracks.
To perform this procedure:
1.
TURN OFF THE MACHINE, ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP, AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE!
2.
Remove the side cover plate to expose the blades. (See Pic.21)
3.
Remove one blade, rotate the impeller, and remove the second blade.
4.
Have the original blades professionally sharpened, or order a replacement set, then
re-install the blades.
5.
Replace the side cover plate and re-attach the spark plug wire.
