Problem & solutions
Problem Cause Solution
The shredder does not
perform properly: the
wood is not pulled in by
the machine itself. The
chips do not have the
same size. -the blades are worn too
much
-the diameter of the
branches inserted into the
machine is too large
-there is too big a gap
between the fixed blade
and the counter blade:
correct gap is 0.5 mm (half
a millimeter) -change or sharpen the blades and
counter-blade. Note that the blades are
sharpened on both edges so they can be
reversed.
-shut the engine off and remove the branch
that is too thick
-adjust the gap between the blade and the
counter-blade in the slots
The engine does not
start/ the engine shuts
off by itself -electrical problem whit
the engine
-no fuel
-no or not enough oil in the
engine (the oil should be
level with the threads of
the fillr hole.) Check that
-the input tube is correctly fitted and the
bolts are tight
-put the start-switch of the engine “on”
-de-activate the emergency switch (turn the
knob)
-check oil and fuel levels
-contact your dealer
Important : screw back the blade bolts.
The rotor jams
The engine will not start/
turn because the rotor is
jammed. -the diameter of the
branch is too big
-there are unacceptable
materials such as stones
or metal in the input tube
-a
length of branch
remains in the rotor
remains in the rotor after
the engine was last
stopped.
-shut off the engine, remove the spark plug
cap and turn the rotor counter-clock-wise.
Use a wooden stick to turn the rotor and to
remove the material from the rotor and
input tube.
If necessary, remove the cap of the bearing
housing and rotate the rotor axle with a
spanner.
If necessary, remove the input or output
tube to facilitate access to the rotor.
Check the sharpeness of the blades and
counter blade and replace them if
necessary.
Important: screw back the blade bolts.
