MAINTENANCEANDSTORAGE
Clean leaves, debris and fuel off the unit to avoid the possibility of fire.
Keep the unit in good working condition. Clean the unit at regular intervals, and check each time for loose or
missing parts.
Do all items of maintenance explained in this Chipper/Shredder Owners Manual. Do not attempt disassembly
or repairs not included in instructions from BCS or the engine manufacturer. Some adjustments and internal
servicing of both engine and the BCS Chipper/Shredder should be done by BCS trained service personnel at
an authorized BCS servicing dealer or distributor.
Shut down the engine immediately if a foreign object gets into the grinding chamber, or the unit suddenly
makes loud noises or vibrates excessively.
When the Chipper/Shredder is stopped for servicing, inspection, storage or to change an accessory, make
sure the spark plug wire is disconnected from the spark plug. Allow the machine to cool before making any
inspections, adjustments, etc.
Allow the unit to cool before putting it away. Keep it out of the reach of children, and where sparks cannot
ignite the gasoline fumes.
Do not store the unit with fuel in the system. Disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor inlet and drain the fuel
into a fuel container. Then reconnect the fuel line. Start and run the engine until it
stops from lack of fuel.
Dispose of the drained gasoline safely.
Store the cleaned and drained Chipper/Shredder in a well-ventilated place, protected from dampness and
the weather.
