– Ensure that the oil level is higher than at least 600ml. The chipper should be filled with 600ml to 650ml of oil. Any less than 600ml of oil and the machine will not start. An oil alert will prevent the engine from starting.
– If the pull-start is tight, remove the black cover from the motor and rotate the big outer nut on the end of the shaft using finger and thumb. Check that the drum is rotating freely in both directions and ensure that they aren’t any blockages.
– If the drum is not moving freely using finger and thumb, remove the hopper and clear any blockages from the drum, spinning it back and forth using the nut on the motor to ensure the whole drum is clean of any possible blockage.
– Reposition the hopper back in to place and tightly secure the bolt (this is important as the bolt acts as a safety mechanism for the chipper). Ensure that the correct bolt is used when reassembling.
