BX36S

3PH Self-feed Chipper

15.8  Rotor Blades

The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the 

chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspection is 

recommended. Keep the blades sharp to reduce the 

amount of power required during operation. Watch 

the sharpness of the blades when processing material 

with a lot of sand, soil or dirt mixed with it. Reverse or 

sharpen the blades if the cutting edge becomes dull.

The rotor is equipped with 4 blades spaced evenly to 

keep the rotor in balance. If one blade needs to be 

changed, the one opposite should also be changed.

It is recommended that the rotor blades be removed 

from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen the 

blades at a 45° angle to provide the best cutting effect 

as it meets the stationary blade. Be sure to tighten the 

blade mounting bolts to their specified torque when 

re-installing the blades to the rotor.

 CAUTION!

Avoid getting pinched or wedged between the lower 

rotor housing and rotor. The rotor is very heavy. 

Turn rotor slowly and be aware of hand positioning.

15.8.1  Changing Rotor Blades

Place machine in 

Safe Condition.

 (See 

page 9.

)

1. 

Remove the bolt that secures the upper rotor 

housing, and carefully open the rotor housing.

2. 

With care, slowly rotate chipper rotor plate until the 

rotor lock lines up with lock hole in the rotor plate.

3. 

Engage the rotor lock, and ensure it snaps into the 

lock hole. Do not allow the rotor lock to snap into 

the chipper blade slot, damage to the blade may 

result.

4. 

Remove the bolts that hold the rotor blade to the 

rotor, remove the blade.

5. 

Rotate the blade and reinstall or replace with new 

or re-sharpened blade. 

6. 

Ensure the blade is properly oriented, with the 

leading edge out. The blade is designed to fit into 

the rotor one way only. See diagram for proper 

installation.

7. 

Tighten bolts as specified in the torque chart.

8. 

Repeat steps for remaining blades.
