Add Engine Oil
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
1. Place the chipper-shredder on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 1.2 qt. (1.1 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the chipper-
shredder as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.

Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the
break-in period for the engine. During the break-in
period we recommend using standard automotive
non-synthetic blended oils. After the break-in
period synthetic lubricant can be used but is not
required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down
and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Using synthetic lubricants does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.
NOTE

ASSEMBLY
Add Engine Fuel Cont’d.
Add Engine Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol
content of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank
as a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the product.
When filling the tank, it is recommended to leave
enough space for the fuel to expand.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled
fuel.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the
top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the engine at the
gas station. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the engine.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel
tank.
CAUTION
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while
filling.
WARNING
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.

100137 ENGLISH
Clearing the Shredding Chute
If the shredding chute gets slightly clogged, then firmly
grasp the handle and gently rock the unit back and
forth to try and dislodge or shift the material that may
be causing the clog. This may help to loosen and draw
the material better into the flail housing and impeller. If
slightly rocking the unit fails then:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
4. Using your hands, remove the material that is still
atop the shredding chute. DO NOT stick your hands
in the chute, only remove the material on top.
5. Using a branch, or other piece of wood less than
1/2 in. (1.3 cm) in diameter try and dislodge the
material.
6. Once cleared, remove the branch, reconnect the
spark plug wire, turn the fuel valve “ON,” and
restart the engine.
If the clog appears to be serious, then shut the
engine off, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
allow the unit to cool before draining the fuel and
opening the flail housing to remove the clogged
material.
NOTE
After all material has been processed it is
recommended that the unit run for short period to
clear out any left over material that may still be in
the chutes or flail housing.
NOTE
Chipping and Shredding Tips
Chipping
1. Make sure wood is less than 3 in. (7.6 cm) in
diameter.
2. Make sure wood is dry.
3. Make sure all smaller branches have been pruned for
the wood.
4. Make sure pieces are long enough to be fed through
the chute.
5. Large pieces can be rotated and alternately inserted
and retracted as they are fed.
6. Always maintain control with two hands of what is
being fed, to prevent “whipping” around.
7. Standing in the safe zone will prevent any damage or
injury if a piece is kicked back out of the chute.
Shredding
1. Inserting smaller loads at a time will prevent
overloading of the chute.
2. Make sure material is dry.
3. Make sure material is free of trash, metal, rocks, and
foreign objects.
4. Air flow will draw loads into the chute, pushing or
shoving the loads is not necessary.
5. Branches larger than 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) in diameter are
not recommended, as they can damage the blades.
6. Vines are not recommended as they can clog or
damage the blades.
OPERATION
Never insert pieces larger than 3 in. (7.6 cm) in
diameter as this may cause damage or injury.
Small pieces may be fed carefully using a larger
piece. Never insert smaller pieces using your hands.
If larger pieces will not chip, get pushed backed
by the chipper, or can not be controlled, remove at
once.
Never feed more than one branch or piece of wood
into the chute at a time.
WARNING
Never insert any item into the chute to “assist” in
the feeding of any load.
Never insert completely wet material into the chute.
If material is “damp” then alternate with dry loads to
prevent clogging.

weeks or longer, please see the Storage section for
proper engine and fuel storage.
NOTE
Do not let the collection bag fill to capacity before
emptying. It is recommended to empty the bag
before it fills completely to minimize damage to the
bag.
NOTE
As the engine shuts off and the blades wind down,
some noises in the flail housing can be made, these
are normal, but any weird noises may be damage
and if these occur the unit should be inspected.
NOTE
OPERATION
Emptying the Collection Bag
1. Turn the throt tle down to the “SLOW” position.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
5. Using your hands, release the draw string on the

6. Remove the collection bag from the deflector chute
and empty bag.
7. Once emptied, reconnect the collection bag by
pulling the draw string tight, then reconnect the
spark plug wire, turn the fuel valve “ON”, and
restart the engine.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and
air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and output will
be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of
elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and
cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.
Operation using the alternative main jet at
elevations lower than the recommended minimum
altitude can damage the engine. For operation at
lower elevations, the standard main jet must be
used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.

Emission Control System Warranty
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2017 small
off-road engine and engine powered equipment. New engines and equipment must be designed, built and
equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. CPE warrants the emission
control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the period of time listed below, provided there has
been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system,
catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the
warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be
repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your Owner’s Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-
road engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if
your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate
service outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as a problem exists.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year small off-road engines. The ECS
Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use
purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent
purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is:
a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited
engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical
in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period
of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it
shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under
the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the
effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or
replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE
according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty,
shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
such emissions-related part.
d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be
performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered
by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized
Service Outlet.
f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the
following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S.
Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile
limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications
proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of
any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not
reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids
this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable
hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or
modified part.
