The gap between the knives and the anvil
is tapered out slightly to allow for a small
amount of movement in the rotor as it
bites into the wood.
The anvil position can be adjusted by
loosening the anvil mounting bolts. Once
adjusted correctly, tighten the anvil
mounting nuts using a torque wrench to 22
Nm.
If there is not enough clearance, the knife
edge may touch the anvil through
deflection when cutting heavy branches
and damage the sharp edge. Too much
clearance will allow small twigs and fibrous
materials to be dragged through without
being cut.
Turn the cutting rotor by hand to check
that it turns freely.
Reassemble the housing and inlet chute by
repeating steps 1-3 in reverse.
Note
: When reassembling the housing, first
align the hooks on the curved wall with the
tabs near the outlet on the housing front.
Once these are aligned use a nylon
hammer (or other suitable alternative) to
hammer the back of the housing to locate
the remaining four tabs. Do not attempt to
do up the housing bolts until these tabs
have been aligned.
Engine servicing
For servicing of the engine, please refer to the Honda engine manual.
Engine oil
It is recommended you check the oil level every time you use your chipper. To check the oil level,
unscrew the oil filler cap/dipstick, clean the dipstick, then insert the dipstick without screwing it
into the thread. Fill as necessary, using the diagram as a reference. For optimal performance of
your chipper, the engine oil should be completely changed every 100 operating hours, or roughly
once every 12 months on average.
WARNING!
Every time the knife clamping bolts are torqued up to 22 Nm and loosened off again, the life of the bolts is
reduced. The knife clamping bolts must be replaced at most after every six sharpens. Contact Hansa for replacement
bolts (m8x25 countersunk bolts of grade 12.9 or higher). Use only genuine Hansa bolts.
