Removing/Replacing the Chipper Knife (PILOT XTSP)
The PILOT XTSP model is shipped with a sharp Chipper Knife and, depending
upon material being chipped, will remain acceptably sharp for 40 plus hours.
When you notice diminished feeding, it is time to replace the knife. You may
also choose to have the knife sharpened instead as described on the next page.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
•
1/2" Wrench
•
7/16" Wrench
•
Awl
•
4mm Allen Wrench
1.
Remove the three Bolts that secure the Chipper Chute to the Housing using
a 1/2" Wrench (
Figure 38
). Remove the Discharge Chute from the Frame
and set it aside to gain access inside the Impeller Housing.
2.
Remove the four Bolts securing the Discharge Chute to the Frame using a
1/2
″
Wrench.
3.
Clean out the Allen Screws using an Awl.
4.
Hold the Allen Screw from turning using a 4mm Allen Wrench as you remove the Locknut from the underside of the
Impeller using a 7/16
″
Wrench. Remove the second Bolt and Lock Nut to remove the Knife.
5.
Visually inspect the Knife mounting surface and be sure it is clean. Metal burrs may need filing so the Knife mounts flush
against the Flywheel.
6.
Install a new or sharpened Knife with the sharp edge toward the Slotted Opening
(Figure 39)
. Install In reverse order of
removal, inserting the Screws first.
Note:
It is important that you use the new Allen Screws and Lock Nuts provided with each new Chipper Knife.
7.
Reinstall the Outlet Tube and Chipper Chute.
Replacing the Drive Belt (PILOT XTSP)
Tools and Supplies needed:
•
1/2" Wrench
•
Pliers
•
Diagonal Cutting Pliers
1.
Locate a clean flat surface to work on.
2.
Remove the two Bolts that Secure the Belt Cover to the Frame using a
1/2" wrench
(Figure 40)
. Remove the Belt Cover.
3.
Look closely at the Belt to find a small black arrow (
Figure 41
). The black
arrow shows the direction of rotation. The arrow would be pointing left
when viewed from the left side of the machine. The new Belt will need to
be installed in the same direction for the Belt to work properly.

keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
