Daily Checklist for the 30.00 COMMERCIAL DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER

To help maintain your 30.00 COMMERCIAL DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER for optimum performance, we

recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your Chipper.

[ ] OIL and FILTER: With the machine on a level surface, check the Engine oil level with the Dipstick

and add more if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the Dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL).

Use SAE 30 high detergent motor oil. Change the Oil Filter as recommended in the Engine

manufacturers users manual.

[ ] GAS: Fill the Fuel Tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the Engine clean of debris. Remove

leaves and other built-up materials from the Air Intake Screen before, during, and after using the

Chipper. Regularly remove debris from the Cooling Fins. A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause

damage to the internal Engine parts.

[ ] BELT: Check the Belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.

[ ] KNIFE and WEAR PLATE: Check the Knife and Wear Plate for tightness, nicks and wear.

[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.

[ ] HOPPER: Check that there is no material left in the hopper before starting the Chipper.

[ ] TIRES: Check that there the proper amount of air in the Tires.

SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP,

REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRES, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION ON THE CHIPPER.
