6.10 Plugged Chipper, Clearing
The chipper is designed to handle a wide range of materials
without any problem. However, in the event material gets lodged
in the chipper, follow this procedure to clear the blockage:
WARNING!
Never reach into the feed hopper. Doing so risks
hands getting caught. Use a stick or branch to
push in any material that does not move on its
own.
If jammed, stop the engine, wait for the rotor to
stop, then clear the jam.

1. Stop the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Pull any material out of the chipper hopper and shredder
hopper. Check that nothing is jammed or wedged between
the input opening and the rotor.
3. Pull any material out of the discharge hood. Use a stick to
poke any jammed material loose. Make sure the discharge
chute is clear.
4. Try restarting to see if the jam is cleared.
If the chipper is still plugged, the jammed material must be
removed by hand.
5. Place the machine in a safe condition. See page 7.
6. Remove the upper rotor housing anchor bolt and open the
rotor housing.
