• 
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT 
FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND COOL.  
DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRES, KEEPING THEM AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUGS.
 
• 
NEVER STORE THE DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER WITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK INSIDE A BUILDING 
WHERE IGNITION SOURCES ARE PRESENT, SUCH AS HOT WATER AND SPACE HEATERS, CLOTHES 
DRYERS AND THE LIKE.  IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRAIN THE FUEL TANK, DO THIS OUTDOORS.  ALLOW 
THE ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE.
 
• 
WHEN NOT IN USE, YOUR DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER SHOULD BE STORED OUT OF THE REACH OF 
CHILDREN.
 
 
 
NOTE:  Please refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for engine-specific procedures. 
• 
Change the oil (and oil filter, if applicable). 
• 
Remove the spark plugs and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into each cylinder hole.  Reinstall the 
plugs and engage the electric starter for a few seconds.  This will coat the pistons and seat the 
valves to prevent moisture buildup. 
• 
Clean or replace the air filter(s). 
• 
Lubricate all grease fittings. See page 32. 
• 
Clean any dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, blower housing, debris screen and 
muffler area of the engine. 
• 
If your engine has a fuel filter, replace it. 
• 
If your DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a 
gas stabilizer.  This will prevent sediment from gumming up the carburetor.  If there is dirt or 
moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the tank.  Completely fill the tank with fresh, 
unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive.  Run the engine for 
a short time to allow the additive to circulate.  Close the fuel Shut-Off Valve to prevent carburetor 
overflow and leakage. 
• 
Check the Drive Belts for wear.
 
• 
Check the Chipper Knife and Wear Plate for nicks and wear.
 
• 
Remove the battery or store your DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER in a dry environment where the 
temperature is between –10° F (–23° C) and +85° F (+23° C).  Make sure the storage temperatures 
will never be outside these limits.
