engine and clutch manuals.
2. Grease all main bearings once a day. DO NOT OVER GREASE. Wipe extra grease off bearings.
Bearing under guards for feed rolls need to be greased at least once a week. When removing guards, check
chain tension.
3. Be sure to clean entire machine, especially around engine after using. Should it become necessary to
remove the exhaust chute, REMOVE KEY FROM ENGINE. NEVER TURN ENGINE OVER WHILE
EXHAUST CHUTE IS REMOVED.
4. Sharpen/change chipper blades: Remove key from engine and remove spark plug wires (gas engines
only). Be sure throttle is in off position and clutch is disengaged. Be sure to put a red lock out tag on this
machine to warn others of pending danger. Remove top pin from chipper housing access door and pivot
housing open. This will allow access to impeller. Rotate impeller to a comfortable working position and
tighten pusher screw against the impeller. This will lock the impeller while you service the blades.
Sharpen the blades as evenly as possible and be sure you Locktite and tighten all bolts. A loose bolt
coming out of this machine would be a large bullet. Should you drop a nut, bolt or blade in the housing
you must retrieve it before you start up the machine. HINT: Salsco recommends replacement of nuts when
replacing or sharpening chipper blades. The locking ability of these nuts may have been violated.
5. Bed knife adjustment is .070. To adjust the bed knife, remove access door on side of chip chamber and
rotate impeller until blades pass in front of bed knife. Check with feeler gauge and set to .070. Repeat
procedure for horizontal knife.
6. Adjust infeed roll housing: Remove both guards and pry housing front or rear and shim behind nylon.
Tighten up and remove play.
7. Check belt for wear and or adjustment: Belt needs adjustment when belt is loose. Adjust belt as
follows: Loosen four bolts holding engine and adjust engine to tighten bolts. You must remove the belt
guard for proper access to belts.
8. Remove infeed hopper : Infeed hopper is removable for maintenance or storage but unit must NEVER be
run without the hopper in place. Connect chain hoist or lifting device of some sort and remove bolts. Now
hopper can be stored.
9. Remove feed roll box: Periodically the feed roll assembly will require disassembly. Remove the two
hoses going to the drive motor (be sure to mark them for reassembly). Also, you must check the rotation of
the feed roll upon reinstallation. Cap open hydraulic hoses.
Dirt is any hydraulic systems enemy.
Connect chain hoist or lifting device to feed roll box assembly and remove from machine. The feed roll
can now be worked on to make necessary repairs. When replacing the feed roll box, be sure to shim behind
the nylon wear strips to remove endplay.
