MAX
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended
oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used
but is not required. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down
and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour
break-in period, change the oil.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will
aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C).

Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change
the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit
the engine needs.
Add fuel
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO
NOT pump gasoline directly into the chipper shredder. Use an
approved container to transfer the fuel to the chipper shredder.
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 91 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. y b c
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the
chipper shredder
3. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
