MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
SETTING BED PLATE GAP CONTINUED…
3) With the flywheel now exposed, rotate it so that the first blade lines up with the bed
plate. The use of a flash light will aid in better viewing. Note the gap. Rotate the
flywheel so the second, third and finally the forth blades line up, noting the blade that
is the closest. This is the blade that will be used to set the bed plate gap.
4) Loosen the three M10 bolts that secure the bed plate to the slotted base plate so that
the bed plate is free to slide in and out of slot in the flywheel housing. This movement
will increase or decrease the gap between it and the cutting edge of the chipper
blade. Position the bed plate so that it is within
1/16”-1/8” (1.5mm-3.0mm)
of the
cutting edge of the blade. Ensure the gap is consistent along the entire edge of the
blade.
5) Tighten the three (3) M10 bed plate bolts back up to
40 ft-lbs (54 N-m)
when the
position is set correctly.
6) Rotate the flywheel by hand and note the gap at each chipper blade. Again, the gap
should be no more or less than
1/16”-1/8”
(1.5mm-3.0mm)
at each blade.
7) Close the upper flywheel housing and tighten the bolt to secure it to the lower
flywheel housing.
