Connecting The Battery Cable; Adding Engine Oil And Gasoline - DR 30.00 COMMERCIAL RAPID-FEED CHIPPER Safety & Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting the Battery Cable

We ship the 30.00 COMMERCIAL DR RAPID-FEED
CHIPPER with the negative terminal battery cable
disconnected. This prevents the battery from discharging
during shipment. Before using your 30.00 COMMERCIAL
DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER, you must connect the battery
cable.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
•
Two 5/16" Wrenches
1. Remove the hardware from the negative terminal of
the Battery with two 5/16" wrenches (Figure 10).
2. Position the negative Battery Cable and secure with
the negative terminal hardware using two 5/16"
wrenches.

Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline

•
YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS MACHINE IS SHIPPED WITHOUT
OIL. TRACES OF OIL MAY BE IN THE RESERVOIR FROM FACTORY TESTING, BUT YOU MUST ADD
OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. FILL THE RESERVOIR SLOWLY CHECKING THE DIPSTICK
FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVERFILLING.
•
TO GET AN ACCURATE READING WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL:
- THE MACHINE SHOULD BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.
- THE DIPSTICK SHOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN TO ENSURE AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL
READING.
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the gas and oil fills until you are ready to
pour either gasoline or oil into the correct fill.
NOTE: Use SAE 30 high detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher. Do not use special
additives. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your
Engine Owner's Manual for detailed oil information.
