INSPECT CHIPPING KNIVES
Service Interval: Every 25 Hours, or As Necessary
The chipping knives of this unit can be rotated or sharpened
to provide a new cutting surface as required. When inspecting
the knives be careful to avoid touching the sharpened edges.
To inspect the chipping knives:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from
the spark plug.
2. Remove the nuts securing the chipper cone to the front
of the chipper. Remove the chipper cone (A) to access
the knives. SEE FIGURE 13
3. Using the recoil starter, slowly pull the starter rope to
rotate the rotor into position so the blades can be seen.
To sharpen or replace the chipper knives, see the
Troubleshooting and Repair section.
Check / Change Engine Air Cleaner
Service Interval: Every 25 Hours
The engine air cleaner assembly should be opened, inspected,
and the filter element replaced every 25 hours, or as required if
debris has built up in the assembly.
Replace the air filter and pre-cleaner assembly as follows:
1. Loosen the screw (A) and remove the filter cover (B).
SEE FIGURE 14
2. Inspect the pre-cleaner (C) and air filter element (D). If
either are soiled, then replace.
3. Insert the new pre-cleaner (C) and air filter element (D)
inside the filter cover (B). Make sure the arrows on the
filter element are pointed up, and the lip of the pre-
cleaner covers the bottom filter pleats.

5. Tilt the cover up into place and tighten the screw (A).
