SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE, DISENGAGE THE 

HYDRAULICS, OPEN SHIELD AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

The blades can be ground on a bench grinder or by a 

professional. 
1.  Never sharpen or grind the mounting surfaces of 

the blades. This will cause the edge to roll and the 

blade will be damaged, resulting in poor chipping 

performance.

2.  Regrind the angled edge of the chipping blades to 45 

degrees (Figure 5.2). Make sure some type of fixture 

is used to correctly hold the blade at the proper angle.

3.  Be careful when grinding so that the blade does 

not become overheated and change color. This will 

remove the heat-treated properties.

4.  Use short grinding times and cool with water or some 

type of liquid coolant. 

1. 

Install  the  rotor  lock  (Section  5.2). The  rotor  is  now 

restrained for installing the blades. 

2.  Place a blade on the rotor and attach using original 

hardware.  Torque  the  bolts  to  120  ft-lbs  (162  Nm). 

Repeat for the remaining blade.

3.  Remove rotor lock.
4.  Lower the access cover and secure to the chipper 

housing using two 3/8" retaining bolts.

The chipping blades should clear the chipper block located 

directly under the chipper chute by 1/16 to 1/8". To adjust 

the blade clearance, proceed as follows: 
1.  Remove the two 3/8" retaining bolts securing the 

access cover to the main frame. Open access cover to 

allow access to anvil. See Figure 5.3 for anvil location.

1.  Remove the two 3/8" retaining bolts securing the 

access cover to the main frame assembly. 

2.  Open access cover to allow access to rotor. Rotate 

the rotor so that the bolts holding the chipper blades 

are accessible.

3. 

Install  the  rotor  lock  (Section  5.2). The  rotor  is  now 

restrained for removing the blades. To access the 

remaining blades, remove pin and reposition rotor. 

Return pin to the rotor lock hole.

4.  Remove the two bolts that hold the blade to the 

rotor. The hardware can be reused. Repeat for the 

remaining blade.

5.  The blades have two edges and can be reversed one 

time before sharpening.

Chipping blades are sharp! Use caution when working 

on machine to avoid injury.

WARNING

5. 

Remove an equal amount off each blade to maintain 

rotor balance.

6.  Small imperfections such as nicks and burrs on 

the flat side of the blade will not affect the chipping 

performance of the machine.

7.  For blades that have been repeatedly sharpened, 

ensure that the sharpened surface extends past 

the chipping slot opening. If it does not extend past 

the  opening,  the  blades  should  be  replaced  (see 

Section 5.4).
