MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

 

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE 

 

 

IMPORTANT: 

The blade should be checked for sharpness and the nuts and bolts 

attaching them to the drum for tightness before each operation. 

 

IMPORTANT: 

Every time you perform maintenance or any kind of service on the 

blade be sure to check the gap between the blade and the wear plate for proper 

placement. 

 

 

 

 

 

If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual 
noise or is vibrating, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. Allow the 
engine to cool before you: 

 

Inspect and examine for obvious damage. 

 

Check for loose parts, bolts and nuts. 

1.

 

When not in use, your chipper should be stored out of reach of children. Be sure there is no 

gasoline fumes in the storage area. For long periods of storage (over winter), refer to the 

engine owner's manual. 

2.

 

After every 8 hours of operation, lubricate the chipper side and drive side bearings. To do 

this, wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean cloth, then apply no more than 3 

shots of quality general-purpose grease with a hand-pumped grease gun. Over lubrication can 

also damage bearings. Also, check the bearing collar set screws regularly to be sure they are 

tight. If they are loose, reset them with Loctite, obtainable at any hardware store. 

3.

 

You will find information included referring to operation and maintenance of the chipper 

engine. 

4.

 

When the steel chipping knife needs replacing or sharpening, refer to the section on removal, 

sharpening and re-installation.
