Daily Checklist for the DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER
To help maintain your DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this
checklist each time you use your DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER.
[ ] Check the Engine oil and Fuel Tank levels
[ ] Check that the Engine is clean and free of debris.
[ ] Inspect the Hopper(s) for accumulated debris.
[ ] Check the general condition of the DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER, e.g.; Nuts, Bolts, welds, etc.
[ ] Check the Belt for wear and/or stretching.
[ ] Check Tire Pressures and wear.
[ ] Check the Chipper Knife for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] Check the Wear Plate for tightness and nicks; the edge should be square.
[ ] Check the Debris Guard for wear and damage.
[ ] Remove any debris wrapped around the Hammer(s) and Rotor.
End of Season and Storage
NOTE: Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for Engine-specific procedures.
• Change the Engine oil.
• Clean or replace the Air Filter and Fuel Filter (if equipped).
• Check the Chipper Knife, Hammers, and Wear Plate for nicks and wear.
• Remove any debris wrapped around the Hammers or Rotor.
• If your DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This
will prevent sediment from gumming up the Carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or Tank, remove it by
draining the Tank. Completely fill the Tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or
gasoline additive. Run the Engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate. Close the Fuel Shut-Off Valve to
prevent Carburetor overflow and leakage.
• Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted
surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.
• Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
• Inspect moving parts and the Drive Belts for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
• Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Reinstall the Plug and engage the
Electric Starter for a few seconds. This will coat the pistons and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.
• If possible, store the DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the machine
outside, after the DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which
will cause your machine to rust.
• Remove the Battery or store your DR PRO XL520 CHIPPER-SHREDDER in a dry environment where the temperature is
between –10° F (–23° C) and +85° F (+23° C). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits.
