Removing Blockage from the Chipper
• Never attempt to unblock the machine whilst the chipper is running.
• If the drum stops while chipping, stop the engine IMMEDIATELY and remove the
spark plug (FM6DD) or disconnect the power cable (FM4DDE).
• Unhinge either the feed hopper or discharge chute by loosening the bolt on the
bottom of chute and lifting it upward to allow access to the drum. Remove wood
or branches that are blocking the drum and then restart the engine and chip
again.
• If the wood or branches cannot be removed by hand, then it is possible to rotate
the drum in reverse. On the drum side of the chipper, remove the plastic cap
with a flathead screwdriver and beneath there is a nut that can be turned (with
the appropriate socket) to rotate the drum in reverse.
