2. Keep the engine's throttle lever in its SLOW position
and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
secure.
3. Inspect the general condition of the chipper shredder.
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of
moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation.
4. Remove all debris from the Wood chipper with a soft
brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a premium
quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving
parts.
The service intervals shown are the maximum
under normal operating conditions. Increase
frequencies under extremely dirty or dusty condi-
tions.
5. Replace the spark plug wire.
Maintaining your Wood chipper will ensure long life to the
machine and its components.
Never use a pressure washer to clean your
Wood chipper. Water can penetrate tight
areas of the unit and cause damage to
spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine.
Shut down the engine, wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop, remove
the spark plug wire, and then wait five
minutes before performing maintenance
on the chipper.
