• 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 down and turned a quarter turn clockwise for the 16.5 Model (long Dipstick) to
ensure an accurate oil level reading.
- The dipstick should not be screwed in for the 21.0 Model (short Dipstick) to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
Positioning the Support Leg from Towing to Operating Position
1. Pull the Hitch Clip from the Pin and pull the Pin from the Support Leg and
Tow Bar (Figure 18).
2. Rotate the Support Leg to the down (operating) position, align the holes in
the Tow Bar and Leg, reinstall the Pin and secure with the Hitch Clip

Connecting the Battery Cable (Electric Start)
We ship the electric-start DR SELF-FEEDING WOOD CHIPPER with the
negative terminal battery cable disconnected. This prevents the battery from
discharging during shipment. Before using your electric start DR SELF-
FEEDING WOOD CHIPPER, you must connect the battery cable.
Tools Needed:
• 5/16" Wrench
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
1. Connect the Negative Battery Cable onto the Negative Terminal Lug of the
Battery with the existing Bolt, Washer and Nut using a 5/16" Wrench and a
Phillips Head Screwdriver (Figure 20).
Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline
Unleaded gasoline, 4 US quarts (3.79 L)
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.
