12 Owner’s Manual for Chipper/Shredder
General Information and Setup
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit is shipped without oil in
engine. Traces of oil may be in reservoir from factory
testing. Oil must be added prior to initial operation.
Use only the recommended high detergent engine
oil. See Engine Fluid Requirements.
1. Place unit on a firm, level surface. Verify engine is
cooled.
2. See Figure 2-9. Remove oil dipstick/fill cap (A).
Figure 2-9. Oil Dipstick and Fuel Fill
3. Add one-half of the recommended oil. Wait one
minute for oil to settle.
4. Install oil dipstick and screw in.
5. Remove oil dipstick and check oil level. Clean oil
dipstick after checking.
6. Add a few ounces of oil at a time until level reaches
FULL mark. Check oil dipstick frequently to prevent
overfill. Do not overfill.
7. Install oil dipstick and securely finger tighten when
full.
Adding Fuel
NOTE: The unit is shipped without fuel. Fuel must be
added prior to first starting attempt.
1. Place unit on a firm, level surface. Verify engine is
cooled.
2. See Figure 2-10. Remove fuel fill cap (A).
Figure 2-10. Fuel Fill Cap
3. Fill tank with fresh, unleaded fuel (with a minimum
85 octane rating) to 0.25–1.25 in (6.4–31.8 mm)
below top of the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion.
4. Install fuel fill cap. Secure tightly.
Connect Battery Cables
NOTE: The negative terminal battery cable is discon-
nected prior to shipment to prevent discharge.

General Information and Setup
1. See Figure 2-12. Remove valve stem protective
cap (A) and check tire pressure using a tire pres-
sure gauge.
Figure 2-12. Valve Stem Protective Cap
2. Verify tire pressure is in accordance with recom-
mended pressure stamped on side of tire. Add or
remove air as needed.
3. Replace valve stem protective cap.
High Altitude Replacement Kit
The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture is too rich at high
altitudes for this unit. Performance decreases and fuel
consumption increases. A rich mixture also fouls the
spark plug and causes hard starting. Operation for
extended periods of time at an altitude that differs from
what the engine was certified for may increase emis-
sions.
Install an altitude kit, when required, when operating at
higher altitudes. Follow the guide below to determine
when an altitude kit is required:
Kits can be obtained by contacting Generac Customer
Service at 1-888-436-3722 (1-888-GENERAC), or visit-
ing www.generac.com. Kits must be installed by a quali-
fied individual.
NOTE: If a carburetor is replaced, the correct high alti-
tude kit jet will need to be installed into the replacement
carburetor.
The warranty may be void if necessary installation of a
high altitude kit is not made for high altitude use.
