the lock washers and flat washers. 

11. Do not operate the unit without the deflector in place. 

12. Before stopping the chipper, be sure the all of the material is out of the head and out 

of the feed roll.   

13. All of the material in the chute must be gone or the unit could jam on a small piece of 

material. This can usually be cleared by turning the unit backwards by hand. 

14. To replace the blades, take the PTO shaft out of gear, then turn off the tractor. The 

blades on most models are replaced or turned by removing the inspection plate on 

the side opposite the chute. 

15. Unhook the feed roll springs, block the feed roll to maximum position, and, with an 

Allen  wrench  on  the  chute  side  and  a  socket  on  the  other,  remove  the  bolts.  (Be 

careful not to drop any part inside.) 

16. Remove the blade, clean the blade pocket and turn or sharpen the blade. Replace 

blade. 

17. Torque  the  bolts  to  50  ft.-lbs.  in  all  holes  so  the  bolts  are  straight  through  the 

flywheel. A small screwdriver or ice pick  works well to clean  pockets for the Allen 

wrench. Replace the inspection plate and reattach the springs. 

18. Turn over by hand before applying power. 

19. The cutter bar should be adjusted to 0.010 to 0.030" from the blades by loosening 

the bolts in the bottom of the chute in the slotted holes and moving the bar on slots. 

20. Bolts are to be torqued to 35 ft.-lbs. 

21. The cutter bar can be reversed and/or resharpened. 

22. Dull blades cause many problems, such as: Seeming lack of power, plugging of the 

discharge chute, rough cutting with more vibration than usual, feed roll shaft broken, 

main  bearing  housing  broken,  main  bearing  working  loose  and  the  flywheel  or 

blades hitting the case or bed knife, feed roll kicking out of gear, and not feeding.
