Make certain that the chipper-shredder is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean,
dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme
conditions, excessive dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
Inspect all engine air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they
are clean and unobstructed.

and debris.

clean exterior surfaces of the engine and chipper-shredder.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove excess dirt and oil. Use an air
