Your four-cycle engine will normally consume someoil--therefore, check engine oil level regularly approx-imately every five hours of operation and before eachusage. Stop engine and wait several minutes beforechecking oil level. With engine level, the oil must be toFULL mark on dipstick (refer to figure 12). Changeengine oil after the first five hours of operation, andevery twenty-five hours thereafter.

To Drain Oil:

• Drain oil while engine is warm.

a. Remove oil drain plug. Refer to figure 11. Catchoil in a suitable container.

b. When engine is drained of all oil, replace drainplug securely.

• Refill with fresh oil. Refer to GAS AND OIL FILL-UP section.

• Replace dipstick.

STORAGE

Prepare your chipper-shredder for storage at the endof the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 daysor more.

WARNING: NEVER STORE MACHINEWITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK INSIDEOF BUILDING WHERE FUMES MAYREACH AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK, ORWHERE IGNITION SOURCES AREPRESENT SUCH AS HOT WATER ANDSPACE HEATERS, FURNACES, CLOTHESDRYERS, STOVES, ELECTRIC MOTORS,ETC.

NOTE: A yearly check-up by your local Sears ServiceCenter is a good way to make certain your chipper-shredder will provide maximum performance for thenext season.

CHIPPER-SHREDDER• Clean the chipper-shredder thoroughly.

• Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust (use alight oil or silicone).

ENGINEIMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENTGUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIALFUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR,FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURINGSTORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THATALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOLOR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CANATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARA-TION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STOR-AGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYS-TEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines andcarburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative inminimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits duringstorage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor-age container. Always follow the mix ratio found onstabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutesafter adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reachthe carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure-tor if using fuel stabilizer.• Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be

done after the engine has been operated and is stillwarm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

• If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the insideof the engine as follows. Remove spark plug, pourapproximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one table-spoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowlyto distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

OTHER• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.Rust and/or dirt inyour gasoline will cause problems.

• Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next tocorrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storageshed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coatingwith a light oil or silicone.
