PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS.
Problem
Cause
Solution
The shredder does not
perform properly: the wood
is not pulled in by the
machine itself. The chips do
not have the same size.
-the blades are worn too much
-the
diameter
of
the branches inserted
into the machine is too large
-there is too big a gap between
the fixed blade and the counter
blade: correct gap is 0.5 mm
(half a millimetre)
-change or sharpen the blades and counter-blade.
Note that the blades are sharpened on both edges so
they can be reversed.
-shut the engine off and remove the branch that is
too thick
-adjust the gap between the blade and the counter-
blade in the slots
The engine does not start/
the engine shuts
off by itself
-electrical problem whit the
engine
-no fuel
-no or not enough oil in the
engine (the oil should be level
with the threads of
The fill hole.)
Check that
-the input tube is correctly fitted and the bolts are
tight
-put the start-switch of the engine “on” -de-activate
the emergency switch (turn the knob)
-check oil and fuel levels
-contact your dealer
Important: screw back the blade bolts.
The rotor jams
The engine will not start/
turn because the rotor is
jammed.
-the
diameter
of
the
branch is too big
-there are unacceptable
materials such as stones or
metal in the input tube
-a length of branch remains in
the rotor remains in the rotor
after the engine was last
stopped.
-shut off the engine, remove the spark plug cap and
turn the rotor counter-clock-wise. Use a wooden
stick to turn the rotor and to remove the material
from the rotor and input tube.
If necessary, remove the cap of the bearing housing
and rotate the rotor axle with a spanner.
If necessary, remove the input or output tube to
facilitate access to the rotor.
Check the sharpness of the blades and counter blade
and replace them if necessary.
Important: screw back the blade bolts.
