Removing a Clog
1. Remove any material left in the Chipper Chute and Shredder Hopper with a
wooden stick.
2. Remove the top Screen Bolt and Locknut using two 1/2" Wrenches ( Figure
10 ).
3. Rotate the Screen down to gain access to the cutting chamber ( Figure 11 ).
Note: If the Screen will not rotate down freely, the nearby bolts can be loosened
slightly.
4. Clear all clogged material from the machine.
5. Rotate the Screen back into the operating position and reinstall the
hardware.
Note: Make sure the bolt goes through the screen rather than just
behind it .
6. Start the machine and allow any remaining material to discharge.
7. If you have been shredding wet/green materials the clog may be near the
shredder housing inlet. Shred a wood stick of up to 1" diameter to clear the
clogged wet material.
8. If the clog does not clear repeat the above process.
9. Be certain the cutting chamber is clear before trying to process more
material.
