Common
(and Expensive)
Mistakes
Sur e-fire ways to shorten the life of
your chipper-shredder-vac while
incurring costly repairs along the
way:
• Neglecting the engine’s need
for fresh, clean oil.
• Not cleaning the engine recoil
of debris or changing the air
filter from time to time.
Over-heating results, burning
out the engine.
• Chipping dead wood or
lumber and not sharpening
the knives more often.
• Forcing branches down the
chipper when the knives are
dull and not self-feeding.
• The occasional, if accidental,
railroad spike, brick, 2 x 4,
barbed wire, and/or gardening
tool “down the hatch” routine.
