5W30 * SAE 30

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30,
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32'^F. Check your oil level more fre
quently to avoid possible engine damage from run
ning low on oil
® Fill engine with oil as follows. Remove oil fill dip

stick. See figure 12. With chipper-shredder level,
use a funnel to fill engine with oil to FULL mark on
dipstick. Capacity is approximately 1-1/4 pints. Be
careful not to overfill. Tilt chipper-shredder toward

charged slows down considerably, it is likely that the
shredding blade and/or chipper blades are dull and
need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to Service
and Adjustments section

GAS

® Remove fuel cap and fill fuel tank with about 3

quarts of clean, fresh, lead-free grade automotive
gasoline. DO NOT use Ethyi or high octane gaso

line. Be certain container is clean and free from
rust or foreign particles, Never use gasoline that
may be stale from long periods of storage in the

container. Replace fuel cap.

The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset

to .030" at least once a season or every 50 hours of
operation. See figure 17. Spark plug replacement is
recommended at the start of each season. Refer to
engine parts list for correct spark plug type,

NOTE:

Do not sandblast spark plug. Spark plug
should be cleaned by scraping or wire brushing and
washing with a commercial solvent.

FIGURE 15.

CLEAN ENGINE

Clean engine periodically. Remove dirt and debris
with a cloth or brush. Cleaning with a forceful spray of
water is not recommended as water could contami
nate the fuel system

Yearly or every 25 hours, whichever occurs first,

remove the blower housing and clean the areas
shown in figure 16 to avoid overspeeding, overheating
and engine damage. Ciean more often if necessary.

MUFFLER

Do not operate the chipper-shredder without a muffler
or tamper with the exhaust system . Damaged mufflers
or spark arresters could create a fire hazard. Inspect
periodically, and replace if necessary. If your engine
is equipped with a spark arrester screen assembly,

remove every 50 hours for cleaning and inspection.
Replace if damaged.

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor
age container. Always follow the mix ratio found on
stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach
the carburetor Do not drain the gas tank and carbure
tor if using fuel stabilizer.

® Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be

done after the engine has been operated and is still
warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil

® If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the inside

of the engine as follows. Remove spark plug, pour
approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one table

spoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly

to distribute oil. Replace spark plug,

OTHER

® Do not store gasoline from one season to another,
® Replace your gasoline can If your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

® Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to

Then open 1-1/2 turns counterclockwise },

®

Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes.

® With throttle in FAST position, close needle valve

clockwise ) until engine starts to lose speed

(lean mixture). Then slowly open needle valve
counterclockwise (*^ ) until engine JUST BEGINS
to run unevenly. This mixture should be rich

enough for best performance under load,

® Place throttle control in IDLE position.

If engine idles, no further adjustment is necessary,.

If engine idles too fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw counterclockwise ) until slower speed is

obtained.

If engine dies, turn idle speed adjusting screw 1/4

turn clockwise ). Place throttle control in FAST

position and restart engine.

Move throttle control to IDLE position, if engine

does not idle, repeat third step.

® Test the engine by using the chipper-shredder. If

engine tends to stall or die out, it usually indicates

that the mixture is slightly lean and it may be nec

essary to open (p^ ) the needle valve slightly to

provide a richer mixture. This richer mixture may

cause a slight unevenness in idling.
