SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE, DISENGAGE THE
HYDRAULICS, OPEN SHIELD AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
The chipping blades should clear the chipper block located directly under the chipper chute by 1/16" to 1/8". To adjust
the blade clearance, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two 3/8" bolts securing the access cover to the main frame. Open access cover to allow access to anvil.
See Figure 5.4 for anvil location.
2. Loosen the three 1/2" bolts that hold the chipper anvil to the frame.
3.
Measure the amount of clearance between chipping blades and chipping anvil from inside of housing. Adjust both
rods of the anvil spacer to achieve a uniform gap.
4. Check clearance on all the blades.
5. Tighten bolts on chipping anvil to 75 ft-lbs. and resume operation.
6. If chipping anvil edge is damaged or worn unevenly, remove the three bolts holding the anvil and use one of the
other three edges. Adjust for correct measurement. When all four edges have been used, replace anvil.
