SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE, AND
MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
2. Measure the amount of clearance between the
chipping blade and chipper anvil from inside of the
chipper housing. The minimum distance between the
chipping blade and the chipping anvil should be 1/16"
(Figure 5.6).
3.
Adjust the anvil by loosening the 5/16 × 5/8" bolts
holding the anvil to the rotor cover and sliding the anvil
inward or outward until the desired measurement is
achieved.
4. Torque the bolts to 17 ft-lbs.
5. Rotate the rotor to ensure the remaining blade clears
the anvil by 1/16 to 1/8" (not to exceed 1/8").
6. If the chipper chute was removed, reinstall it.

5.9 PTO DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
1.
Every 8 hours, lubricate PTO cross journals. Make
sure grease purges through all four bearings.
2. Every 8 hours, lubricate PTO inner tubes. Telescoping
members must have lubrication to operate
successfully. Telescoping members without fittings
should be pulled apart and grease should be added
manually with a brush.
3. Every 8 hours, lubricate the PTO shield retaining
bearing. Molded nipples on the guard near each
guard bearing are intended as grease fittings and
should be lubricated every 8 hours of operation.
