12”CHIPPER SERVICE
FEED WHEEL MOTOR

WARNING:
RELEASE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE
TO HYDRAULIC LINES OR OTHER COMPONENTS.
FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND CAUSE
SEVERE INJURY. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SKIN IS
PENETRATED. CHECK HOSES AND FITTINGS USING A BOARD OR
CARDBOARD; DO NOT USE HAND OR FINGER. ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION.
Before changing feed wheel motor, release
the hydraulic pressure. Mark the location of
each hose, possibly with an R and L for right
and left hoses. Then disconnect the
hydraulic hoses and cap the ends of hoses
and the connections on the motor.
Remove the rubber guard that covers the
feed wheel coupling and bushing by
removing the two 3/8” bolts. Be sure to
keep all parts and hardware together to make
reassembly easier.
Remove the three bolts (3/8”) from the
bushing and screw these bolts back into the
three threaded holes in the bushing to push
the motor assembly off the bushing. Screw
these bolts in a little at a time to take the
assembly off without applying more
pressure to one side than the other.
