6.3.2 Changing the Chipping Blade
Inspection Check:
Over time blades will lose their point and sharpness. This will lead to poor chipping
performance. Check regularly to ensure the chipping blade has a sharp leading edge.
Changing the Blade:
The chipping blade must be changed as soon as it is blunt.
Ensure that the machine is at a stop and the engine is off. To ensure the machine is
safe to work on remove the spark plug cap. Remove the in feed chute and in-feed
chute bracket.
Remove the rear belt guard.
Remove the top curved guard.
Locate an allen key through the chipping aperture of the rotor housing onto one of the
bolt heads holding the chipping blade onto the rotor disc.
Position a 13mm spanner on the nut that holds the chipping blade onto the rotor disc.
Turn the spanner to undo the nut that holds the chipping blade. Do not turn the allen
key. Use this as a locking point only.
Remove the two other nuts holding the blade onto the rotor disc.
Once the blade has been removed, it is possible to fit a new sharp chipping blade
using the reverse process. Ensure that the nut is tightened onto the bolt using the
13mm spanner to ensure the allen key head on the bolt is not damaged during the
process.

Remove the oil filler plug. Clean the dipstick with a clean cloth and put the oil filler
plug all the way back into the engine. Remove the oil filler plug and check the oil
level.
