5.2 ROTOR LOCK
WARNING
The rotor assembly has a lock mechanism. When
working on the rotor assembly, use the lock mechanism
at all times.
There are holes on the rotor that are utilized to lock the
rotor in place before performing any kind of service and/
or maintenance.
Follow the steps below to lock the rotor:
1. Insert bolt into hole on the chute side housing panel
and through holes on rotor to prevent the rotor from
turning.
2. Remove bolt when service and/or maintenance is
completed.

5.3 CHIPPER BLADES MAINTENANCE
The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making
chipping difficult and adding extra strain on the machine.
CHECK THE SHARPNESS OF THE BLADES EVERY
5-15 HOURS OF OPERATION AND SHARPEN AS
NEEDED.
Your blades need to be sharpened if:
●
Machine vibrates severely when material is fed into
the chipper.
●
Chips discharge unevenly or have stringy tails,
especially when chipping green branches.
AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
3 INCH CHIPPER/SHREDDER
WARNING
Before you sharpen the chipping blades, check for
permanent damage. Replace the blade if:
●
There are cracks, broken corners or nicks greater
than 1/8" (see below).
●
The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been
re-sharpened so that it no longer extends past the
chipping slot (see below).
5.4 REMOVING THE BLADES
Chipping blades are sharp! Use caution when working
on machine to avoid injury.
1. Install the rotor lock (see Section 5.2).
2. Flip the discharge door/shield (1) up.
3. Remove the 5/16" × 7/8" carriage bolt (2) and flange
nut (3)holding the shredder screen (4) to the bottom of
the frame. Pull discharge screen out from the bottom
and rotate the top downward to remove.
4. Remove the two bolts that hold the blade to the
rotor. The hardware can be reused. Repeat for the
remaining blade.
5. The blades have two edges and can be reversed one
time before sharpening.
