Frequently Asked Questions - OPC506 DK2 Power

How do I assemble the chipper?

Unpack all items and leave crate sides down as workspace. Install wheels with washers, nuts, and cotter pins. Mount axle assembly, then install tow bar hitch and chute. Use rubber mallet for hinge pins. Refer to manual for detailed steps.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use mid-grade or higher gasoline. The engine has a gas on/off switch: left is off, right is on. Also use 10W30 oil; fill to mark. Engine will not start if oil is low due to low oil shutoff protection.

How do I reverse or replace the blades?

Turn engine off, remove key, and unplug spark plug. Open feed chute, place paper towels between drum and housing to catch bolts. Remove 4 bolts, support blade, reverse to new sharp edge, reinstall with Loctite on threads. Use OEM blades only.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Clear area of people and property. Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves. Close and lock both chutes before operation. Do not wear loose clothing. Only chip wood, no metal or plastic. Never run with chutes open.

Can I tow the chipper on the road?

Yes, the tires are DOT approved. Safely tow at max 25 mph. The extended axle adds stability on hills and corners.

What should I do if the chipper jams?

Turn engine off, remove key, unplug spark plug. Remove small side cover with 2 nuts and turn drum counterclockwise to free stuck wood. Run all contents through before shutting down to prevent jams.

How do I start the engine?

Turn key lock to ON, set choke left (ON) for cold start, throttle to rabbit (fast). Turn gas switch to ON (right). Pull starter firmly. Once warm, move choke right (OFF/RUN).

What is covered under warranty?
