MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following items listed in the service and maintenance
schedule are to be checked, and if necessary, corrective
action should be taken. Probably the most important main-
tenance is to keep the chipper blades sharp. This schedule
is designed for units operating under normal conditions. If
the unit is operating in adverse or severe usage conditions it
may be necessary for the items to be checked and serviced
more frequently.
See engine owners manual for further maintenance and
troubleshooting information.
