Shredder Knives:
The shredder rotor is designed with 3 sets of swinging knives (12 knives on the
BXMC34BEU,
8 knives
on the
BXMC34SEU)
. Each knife has a bevelled edge that cuts, chops and mulches the material as it
moves around the rotor compartment. In addition the chop block helps to break the material into smaller
pieces and turn it into mulch.
Four holes in the divider at the top of the rotor on the
BXMC34BEU
keeps the material inside the rotor
housing, until it becomes a fine enough to move through the holes to the rotor paddles and expelled out
the discharge chute.
On the
BXMC34SEU
, the material stays in the rotor housing until it is fine enough to escape through
the holes in the screen at the bottom of the rotor frame.
1.
Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off
and the fuel valve is closed).
2.
Remove the 2 bolts that hold the upper rotor
housing, and carefully open the rotor housing.
3.
Manually rotate chipper rotor plate so that one
set of shredder knives is fully exposed
4.
Loosen the shredder bolt that holds the set of
shredder knives and spacers to the shredder
plate,
5.
Slowly remove the bolt while catching the
knives and spacers as they become free.
6.
Reverse the knife and replace, or replace with
new or re-sharpened knives.
7� Ensure that the knives and spacers are
installed in the correct sequence, improper
installation will decrease performance of
the shredder� Refer to diagram for help�
8.
Tighten down bolts as specified in the torque
chart, ensure knives rotate freely.
9.
Repeat steps for second and third sets of
shredder knives.
