Maintenance and Repair

 

 

17 

 

 

 

WARNING 

ALWAYS shut off the tractor, make sure flywheel comes to a complete stop, and disconnect the 
drive shaft before cleaning, adjusting, or servicing the chipper.  Make sure all guards and shields 
are replaced before using. 

 

 

Maintenance safety 
rules 

Read and follow these safety rules whenever you will be servicing the 
chipper:

 

 

Turn off chipper.

  Always turn off chipper, wait for all parts to come to 

a complete stop, and disconnect PTO shaft from tractor before opening.

 

 

Replace guards/shields. 

 Make sure all guards and shields are replaced 

after servicing the chipper.

 

 

Repair.

  Major service, including the installation or replacement of 

parts, should be performed only by a qualified service technician.  
Obtain factory approved parts from NORTRAC at 1-800-521-0438. 

 

 

Replacement parts.

  If a part needs replacement, only use factory 

approved repair parts.  Replacement parts that do not meet specifications 
may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the chipper and will 
void the warranty.

 

 

After servicing.

  Make sure all tools and wrenches have been removed.  

Start tractor and run chipper at low RPM. Listen for any metal against 
metal noise or squealing noises from belts. If you should hear any 
foreign noise stop engine and solve problems. Re-start and slowly bring 
PTO to 540 RPM and run for 10 minutes to assure that repair was 
successful.

 

 
 

Checking and 
adjusting belt 
tension 

Drive Belts:  Check and adjust according to pages 22-24. 
 

Lubrication 

Your chipper was greased at the factory.  The operator needs to lubricate the 
chipper main bearings periodically. 

Bearings should be greased weekly or 

every 10 hours of use.   

 

There are two chipper main bearings (in the front and rear) and two drive 
shaft bearings (on the front and underneath).
