Remove the spark plug and drain all oil
from the cylinder before attempting to
start the unit after storage.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum
based cleaners when cleaning plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
Do not store your chipper shredder with
fuel in a non-ventilated area where fuel
fumes could reach flames, sparks, pilot
lights or any ignition sources.
If your Wood chipper will not be used for more than 30
days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for
storage:
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stale fuel has high
gum con tent and can clog the carburetor and restrict
fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This
ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor and helps prevent
deposits from forming inside, which can damage the
engine.
3. Drain the oil from the engine while it is still warm.
Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the
engine manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put 60 ml of SAE-30 high-quality engine oil into the cylin-
der. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil.
Replace the spark plug.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the Wood
chipper and to keep the air vents free from obstructions.
6. Store your chipper shredder in an upright position in a
clean, dry building with good ventilation.
