REMOVAL, SHARPENING AND RE-INSTALLATION OF CHIPPER KNIFE
How to remove the knife
• Stop the engine.
• Open the upper disk housing.
• Rotate the chipper disk until the four countersunk screws and lock nuts attaching the knife to the flywheel
are visible through the access doors.
• Remove all four screws and nuts.
Knife sharpening
• You should never attempt to sharpen the chipper knife (or knives) freehand.
• It is extremely important that the 45 degree angle be maintained consistently for proper performance.
• The chipper knife should be taken to a machine shop for proper sharpening.
• Excessive heat generated during the sharpening process will damage knives and weaken the metal. Be sure
the knife is not overheated.
Knife information
• The chipper knife should be checked routinely for sharpness.
• Using a dull knife will decrease performance and cause excessive vibration that will cause damage to the
chipper.
• How many times a knife can be sharpened is determined by how much material needs to be taken off to
sharpen or to compensate for dents or gouges.
• A new chipper knife has 18mm measurem ent between the short side bevel edge and the knife mounting
holes.
• The knife should never be sharpened to the extent that more than 2.5mm is taken off this measurement.
• Once this measurement is below 16.5mm the knife should be replaced.
• If you are unable to remove dents or gouges with these guidelines, replace the knife.
Knife installation
• Clean chipper disk where knife is going to be attached.
• Visually inspect the chipper disk slot and knife mounting area and be sure they are clean and that the knife
will be able to mount flush against the chipper disk.
• Visually inspect and clean the knife.
• Hand tighten the knife to the chipper disk with bolts and nylock locking nuts. If you are installing a new
knife, use the new hardware that comes with the knife when attaching it to the chipper disk.
• Tighten the center nut and bolt.
• Tighten the outer nut and bolt.
• Tighten the inner nut and bolt.
• Double check all four for tightness one more time.
