(1) PERFORM MORE FREQUENTLY UNDER EXTREMELY DUSTY CONDITIONS.
(2) PERFORM MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN CHIPPING DRY OR DIRTY WOOD.
As the Limited Warranty states, failure by the Owner to perform normal maintenance will void the machine’s warranty.
The aggressive, high-speed nature of chipping REQUIRES THE OWNER TO PERFORM THE ABOVE LISTED NORMAL
MAINTENANCE. Special consideration to maintain and re-torque the CHIPPER ANVIL, CHIPPER BLADES, AND ALL
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NUTS AND BOLTS is the sole responsibility of the Owner. Failure by the Owner to do so shall
be cause for denial of warranty.
The items listed in this service and maintenance schedule
are to be checked, and if necessary, corrective action taken.
This schedule is designed for units operating under normal
conditions. If the unit is operating in adverse or severe
conditions, it may be necessary for the items to be checked
and serviced more frequently.
SEE ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER
ENGINE MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
INFORMATION.
To prevent personal injury or property damage: shut off
engine and make sure that all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before, servicing, adjusting or repairing.
Disconnect the battery and remove ignition key where
applicable.
