MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE
IMPORTANT: The blade should be checked for sharpness and the nuts and bolts
attaching them to the flywheel for tightness before each operation.
IMPORTANT: Every time you perform maintenance or any kind of service or check
on the blade, be sure to check the gap between the blade and wear plate for proper
setting.
NOTE: A blade gauge has been provided with your machine. It is 1/16
th”
thick and should be used
to set the correct gap between the knife and wear plate.
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if your machine should start making an
unusual noise or is vibrating, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark
plugs. Allow the engine to cool before you:
• Inspect and examine for obvious damage.
• Check for loose parts, bolts and nuts.
1.
When not in use, your chipper should be stored out of reach of children. Be sure there is no
gasoline fumes in the storage area. For long periods of storage (over winter), refer to the
engine owner’s manual.
2.
After every 8 hours of operation, lubricate the chipper side and drive side bearings. To do
this, wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean cloth, then apply no more than 3
shots of quality general-purpose grease with a hand-pumped grease gun. Over lubrication
can also damage bearings. Also, check the bearing collar set screws regularly to be sure
they are tight. If they are loose, reset them with Loctite, obtainable at any hardware store.
3.
You will find information included referring to operation and maintenance of the chipper
engine.
4.
When the steel chipping knife needs replacing or sharpening, refer to the section on
removal, sharpening and re-installation.
