Daily Checklist for the DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER
To help maintain your DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER for optimum performance, we recommend you
follow this checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the engine oil level with the dipstick and add more
if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use
SAE 30 high detergent motor oil.
[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the engine clean of debris. Remove
grass and other built-up materials from the air intake screen
before, during and after you chip. Regularly remove debris from
the blower housing and cooling fins. A dirty engine retains heat
and can cause damage to the internal engine parts.
[ ] CHIPPER HOPPER: Inspect the Chipper Hopper for accumulated debris.
[ ] KNIFE: Inspect the Chipper Knife for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] BELT: Check the condition of the Drive Belts for nicks and cuts.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds etc.
