Note:
Before adjusting the knives, ensure
the gap between the holding block and the
anvil is 4 - 5 mm. If not, then the anvil can
be adjusted through the mounting slots.
Once the position has been set, tighten the
three M10 countersunk anvil bolts and
torque to 50 Nm, then make further
adjustments with the knives as described
above.
Turn the cutting rotor slowly by hand to
check that it turns freely.
Close and secure the outlet chute.
Anvil adjustment/replacement
When cutting edge of the anvil is dull, the anvil may be reversed can be reversed. Each edge of the anvil will typically last for several
hundred hours of operation. When both edges are worn, the anvil will need to be replaced.
To access the anvil the inlet chute needs to be removed (use the reverse procedure to fit the inlet on page 3). A 5 mm Allen key,
17 mm socket and an extension are required to remove the anvil.
With the knives removed or set right back, the gap between the knife holding block and anvil should be 4 - 5 mm. The position of
the anvil can be adjusted through the mounting slots. When this has been set, tighten the three M10 countersunk anvil bolts using
a torque wrench to 50 Nm and then make further adjustments with the knives as described above.
Turn the cutting rotor slowly by hand to check that it turns freely.
Engine servicing
For servicing of the engine, please refer to the Honda engine manual (C13c) or the Briggs and Stratton engine manual (C16c).
Checking engine oil
It is recommended you check the oil level every time you use your chipper. Use a good quality oil such as SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40.
For optimal performance of your chipper, the engine oil should be completely changed every 100 operating hours, or roughly once
every 12 months on average.
C16c
: To check the oil level on the Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine, unscrew the oil filler cap/dipstick, clean the dipstick, then
insert the dipstick into the oil filler cap. Screw the dipstick all the way in for an accurate reading. Refill the oil to the FULL mark on
the dipstick, if required.
WARNING!
Every time the knife clamping bolts are torqued up to 22 Nm and loosened off again, the life of the bolts is
reduced. The knife clamping bolts must be replaced at most after every six sharpens. Contact Hansa for replacement
bolts (m8x35 bolts of grade 10.9 or higher). Use only genuine Hansa bolts.
