6 TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

CHECK

SOLUTION

Rotor does not spin.

Rotor jammed.

Remove material from rotor.

Verify PTO drive line is connected 

properly.
Slip clutch is slipping.

Connect drive line to tractor.
Remove material from rotor.

Rotor rotates slow or sluggish.

Drive belt loose.
Slip clutch is slipping.

Tighten drive belt.
1.  Check to determine if 

the slip clutch is hot. 

Use Caution: Clutch can 

be very hot! A hot clutch 

does NOT grip.

2.  Slippage on the clutch 

occurs if there is more 

power than the unit is 

rated for:  Model MP348 

is rated for 25 - 45 hp 

input.   Model MP360 is 

rated for 30-50 hp input.  

A bigger tractor can be 

used if it is idled down.  

This will decrease the 

output power of the 

engine.

3.  Travel slower to de-

crease the strain on the 

clutch.

4. 

Turn the flow control 

knob to a lower number 

(1) to reduce the strain 

on the slip clutch.

Be careful when tightening 

the tension setting on the 

slip clutch as this could put 

excess strain on the gear 

box.

Tractor is not able to lift mulcher.

Tractor is too small.

Use proper size tractor.

Excessive vibration.

Cutting teeth worn or missing.
Debris lodged in rotor.

Replace worn, broken or 

missing teeth.
Remove debris.
