CLEANING
Clean the chipper-shredder-vacuum thoroughly after
each use. Wash the bag periodically with water. Allow

Refer to the separate engine manual for engine
maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil level as instructed in the separate
engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow

once a season. Spark plug replacement is
recommended at the start of each season; check

performance.

from muffler area.
