WC1503 Wood Chipper 328-085M

Helpful Operating Hints

The following hints will help protect against a plugged

discharge chute, plugged rotor housing, sheared

driveline bolt, and help keep the chipper running.

•

Be careful not to feed too much product at once, feed

oversize product, feed wet product, or feed product too

fast. Doing so can plug the Wood Chipper.

•

Alternate leafy material with a non leafy hardwood

piece. Hard wood pieces help clean out leafy material.

Keep alternating leafy material with hardwood pieces

until leafy material is processed.

•

Let leafy branches dry for a couple weeks before

chipping them. Dry leaves will process better.

•

Maintaining 1/32" gap between ledger bar and knives

will keep knives wiped off, prevent plugging, allow

product to feed better, and keep wood chipping.

Plugged Chutes & Rotor

Refer to Figure 4-6:

Clear plugged chutes and rotor as follows:
1. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”

on page 17.

2. Disconnect driveline from the tractor.
3. Unplug feed chute, discharge chute and rotor as

follows:

Unplug Feed Chute (#1)

a. Be sure to complete steps 1 & 2 above.
b. Pull all material out of feed chute. Make sure

nothing is jammed between inlet opening and

rotor at bottom of feed chute.

c. Loosen product jammed at the bottom with a stick

or board by prying it up and to the right.

d. If prying on product does not free it, then access

inlet opening by removing hex flange screws (#7),

flat washers (#8), and feed chute (#1).

e. Do not reattach feed chute (#1) until after

checking rotor for a plugged situation.

Unplug Rotor (#3)

a. Be sure to complete steps 1 & 2 on this page.
b. Remove hex flange screw (#6).
c. Rotate upper rotor housing (#4) up until locking

strap (#5) supports the housing.

d. Clean rotor housing of debris.
e. Manually rotate rotor to make sure all debris is

removed and rotor is not jammed.

f. Rotate rotor housing (#4) down and secure with

existing 3/8"-16 hex flange serrated screw (#6).

Tighten serrated screw to the correct torque.

Unplug Discharge Chute (#2)

a. Be sure to complete steps 1 & 2 on this page.
b. Make certain discharge chute (#2) is clean. Pull

material out of the discharge chute. If necessary,

use a stick to unplug a jam.

4. Reattach feed chute (#1) with existing 5/16"-18 x 3/4"

GR5 hex flange screws (#7) and flat washers (#8).

Tighten hex flange screws to the correct torque. See

“Feed Chute”

on page 16 for detailed installation

instructions of feed chute.
