MODEL 15XPC CE
LINE SHEAR
Before attempting any type of maintenance,
disengage clutch, wait for the drum to come to a
complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition
key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession,
install the drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
CHECK THE LINE SHEAR TO
KNIFE CLEARANCE
- The line shear clearance needs to be checked
every 50 hours of operation and every time the knives
are changed or sharpened.
- Make sure the shear counter knives are sharp
and have not lost their edge every 50 hours of
operation.
- File, machine sharpen, or replace as needed.
A maximum of 3.1 mm (1/8”) can be machined off
the shear counter knives. Make sure to keep the
35° angle.
- Make sure the adjustment hex bolts on the mount
bar are tight and Loctited in place.
- Make sure the counter knife bolts are tight and
Loctited in place.
Improperly adjusted or maintained line shear could
result in serious injury or death and damage to the
chipper.
1. This clearance should be checked every 50
hours of operation or as the knives are changed.
To check the line shear clearance, follow all
pre-maintenance shut down procedures. Once all
safety procedures are completed the line shear to
knife clearance can be checked.
2. Remove the padlock on the hood pin, unplug the
chipper hood engine disable plug, and pull the hood
lock pin out to open the hood door.
3. Remove the drum lock pin.
4. Use a feeler gauge or the anvil to knife gauge
supplied by Bandit to check the clearance of the first
knife to the line shear. Check the clearance at the
left and right sides of the knife.
5. Once that knife has been checked, very carefully
rotate the chipper drum so the other knives can be
checked.
6. Once all knives have been checked adjust
the line shear according to the closest knife. The
line shear to knife clearance should be 3.0 mm
(.120”).
7. To set the closet knife to this distance, see the
LINE SHEAR ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE.
