SAFETY PROCEDURES

DANGER

The words Danger, Warning, Caution, and

Notice are used on the safety decals and throughout

this manu al, to make you aware of the safety procedures. These procedures are very important,

read and obey them.

YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US!

This machine is equipped with safety decals, guards

and designs for your protection.

Don’t ever take the machine for granted, always

be ca utiou s and car eful whe n opera ting yo ur equipment. Read and follow all the instructions in your manual

thoroughly. Your safety is dependent on your knowledge

of how to operate and maintain this machine. You may obtain additional copies of this manual from your Bandit Dealer.

Before operating machine, you must have all potential operators; read and understand manuals and decals,

watch the video and follow the recommendations. Regardless of how hard a manufacturer tries to

produce a safe machine, accidents still happen. Normally accidents are caused by people making mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for

their safety. This normally happens after the person has become accustomed to the machinery. In the

initial start up and operation of the machinery, they are cautious, they are very careful because they do

not understand the machine. This equipment is intended for use by personnel

who are experienced with similar equipment. Always operate safely. There should be at least two qualied and trained operators at the work site. They should be positioned in safe working locations, following safety procedures and instructions, and aware of each others whereabouts. There should, also, be at least

two people on site during maintenance and service procedures in case an accident should occur. Never

operate any machine while under the inuence of drugs

or alcohol.

Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of working area. Never operate equipment that is in need

of repair or adjustment.

DANGER

Before starting the machine, take a minute to check

a few things. The machine should be in an area restricted from people passing by. This area around the machine must be free of all objects that can obstruct

your movement when working with the machine. The machine should be checked for loose tools or foreign objects, especially in the infeed hopper area. All tools not in use should be secured in a tool box.

WARNING

Operators must at all times be located within easy reach of all controls and shut-off devices when the unit is running. They must be attentive and prepared to activate the devices.

DANGER

Torn or loose clothing is more likely to get caught in

moving machinery parts or tree branches. Keep such

items as long hair, shirt sleeves, and shirt tails properly contained. Avoid wearing necklaces, rings, watches, and especially neckties while operating this machinery. Make sure the machine is in excellent condition, and all the guards are in place, tight and secure.

Wear all personal protection equipment and follow all safety standards per ANSI and OSHA instructions.

Examples of equipment: hard hat, face shield, safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc. Do not wear gauntlet or secured t gloves. Always keep a fully charged re extinguisher with the machine while

operating or servicing the machine.

MODEL 490 SAFETY PROCEDURES

SAFETY PROCEDURES

DANGER

Always block the tires while the machine is in use for operational stabilization.

DANGER

Pay attention to the direction of the discharge chute before chipping. Never stand in front of the chipper discharge chute. Never direct the chute towards anyone or anything that could cause an accident or problems. Always stop chipping and warn anyone that comes near the discharge area. Failure to do this

could result in severe injury. Wood chips ying out of

the discharge chute can be very dangerous!

DANGER

NEVER sit, stand, lay, climb or ride anywhere on this machine while it is running, operating, or in

transit. You will be injured.

WARNING

It is very important after you have operated a new

machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal

for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of

machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good

possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and

bolts should be checked periodically such as anvil and knife nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and t. Most of the nuts used on the machine are self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed ve times, it

should be replaced to insure proper tightness. This is

especially critical on the chipper knife nuts and bolts! After the engine is started, let the chipper disc/drum

turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is

foreign. If you hear a noise, stop the engine, nd the problem and x it.

DANGER

DO NOT operate this machine indoors! Exhaust

fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine is running. Never refuel in the shop or building. Always

refuel in a well ventilated area, away from sparks or open ames, DO NOT SMOKE. Extinguish all smoking

materials. Wipe up all spilled fuel before restarting the

engine. Do not ll above 1/2” (12.7mm) from top of tank. To obtain the most from your machine, for the least amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up and follow

a scheduled preventative maintenance program. It will eliminate many possible problems and down time.

DANGER

Never reach into the infeed hopper area of the

machine, there is never any reason to. There is absolutely no reason to work inside of the infeed hopper. If there are short pieces, or leaves and twigs,

just leave them until feeding longer pieces. While the

long pieces are feeding, simply toss the short pieces on top of them. The longer pieces will take them on

into the machine. A wooden push paddle has been provided to assist in feeding smaller material. It is the owner’s and

operator’s responsibility to use and keep a wooden

push paddle with the machine and to also secure it when transporting the machine. DO NOT use any body parts or any steel devices inside the infeed hopper area.

NOTICE

Do not attempt to start the engine or engage the

engine PTO (power-take-off) system on this machine if the chipper disc/drum is jammed or frozen in place. If you do, you will damage or ruin the drive belts and/or

the PTO which will not be covered under warranty and will cost you down time and money.

DANGER

B efore attemp ting an y type of mainte nance

disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the chipper drum to come to a complete stop, use extreme care and do not allow the chipper drum to turn, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in your

possession.

DANGER

Never feed any materials that might contain wires, stones, nails, metal objects, or any foreign object which may damage the knives and become dangerous

projectiles.

WARNING

This chipper is designed to “HAND FED” only! DO

NOT feed wood with any type of knuckle boom loader, front end loader, or mechanical device. It will cause damage to the machine. If this happens, the machine

WILL NOT be covered under warranty.

DANGER

Do not operate this chipper without the exible curtain in the opening of the infeed hopper, per ANSI

and OSHA standards. It is provided on this style

chipper to reduce material kick back that can cause

severe injury.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

DANGER

Avoid moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and clothing

away from power driven parts. Keep all guards and shields in place and properly secured.

DANGER

DO NOT feed vines or vine-like material! DO NOT pile vines or vine-like material in front of the infeed

hopper which may cause you to trip or fall! DO NOT allow vines or limbs to become entangled with you or

your clothing! DO cut vine-like material into 4 to 5 foot (1.2 to 1.5 meter) length’s, away from the chipper area!

DO use a wooden pusher paddle when feeding the cut vines into the machine! ALWAYS be in position and prepared to shut down the machine!

DANGER

DO NOT let the infeed hopper down slam. This will cause damage to the hinge. If the hinge becomes

damaged by slamming the infeed hopper, replace the hinge immediately! If the hinge has become damaged, it will cause misalignment of the infeed hopper, the

chipper drum may hit the infeed hopper and cause a serious accident! Lubricate the infeed hopper hinge daily.

WARNING

Never use jumper cables during freezing temperatures.

Tow the machine inside and allow the battery time to

warm up. If the machine must be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery. If the machine is going to be operated in excessively cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery may be needed to insure

proper and prompt starting. Never use jumper cables

in a conned or unventilated area. Battery acid fumes are explosive. Battery acid can cause severe burns. Never expose an open ame or spark near the battery.

Keep all burning materials away from the battery.

When servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and do not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.

DANGER

DO NOT remove the hood bolts until the chipper drum has came to a complete stop. The chipper drum will coast for several minutes after the engine is shut down. Always wait at least several minutes. DO NOT operate the machine with the chipper hood open under any circumstances.

DANGER

Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra

careful and wear proper hand protection when handling

knives.

DANGER

The knives must be securely fastened and torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks during operation, someone or something may get injured.

DANGER

B efore attemp ting an y type of mainte nance

disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the chipper disc/drum to come to a complete stop, install the disc/drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in your possession. ALWAYS install the disc/drum lock pin to prevent inadvertent rotation. On disc chippers insert lock pin through lock pin tube on the belly band under hood rest. On drum chippers insert lock pin through lock

pin tube on side of drum housing.

Simply slide the lock pin into the disc/drum lock tube.

This is to insure that the chipper disc/drum cannot be

started while you are working inside the machine. If

for some reason the chipper disc/drum would start to

turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.

DANGER

Never turn the chipper disc/drum by hand, always

carefully use a pry bar or wood bar. This will help prevent the person turning the disc/drum from being

injured should the disc/drum break loose.

A sight hole in the chipper belt shield has been provided. If chipper belts are moving do not open

chipper hood. Do not stick ngers in sight hole.

MODEL 490 SAFETY PROCEDURES

SAFETY PROCEDURES

WARNING

Always stand to the side of the infeed hopper when inserting material. This will allow you to turn away from

the wood, and walk away, without passing through the

material. Machines should be fed from curbside (right side) whenever possible. Anytime an operator is near

the infeed hopper, they must be within easy reach of

control devices.

To increase production, don’t waste time watching

the material being fed. Once the limbs have started

into the machine, you can walk away and get more

material. Always start the larger end (base end) of the log or

branch in rst.

Keep the engine R.P.M.’s at full throttle whether you are chipping brush or round wood. Lower R.P.M.’s will

cause weak throwing power, and can cause plugging

in the discharge.

MAINTENANCE SECTION

The Bandit is a very simple machine to maintain. If you will follow a regular scheduled preventative maintenance program you should have years of trouble free operation.

DANGER

Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, install the disc/drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in your

possession.

DANGER

Do not let anyone operate or maintain this machine until they have thoroughly read this manual, reviewed the equipment decals, watched the equipment video, and has been properly trained. You can purchase additional Bandit manuals, decals and videos for a nominal fee.

NOTICE

Consult your engine manual for proper break-in procedures. Various engines require somewhat different procedures, but basically the engines need to operate at lower R.P.M.’s and loads for a specic time.

NOTICE

Failure to properly break-in your engine may result in poor bearing and piston ring surfaces.

NOTICE

The Bandit has only been run for a short time to test proper hydraulic pressures, possible leaks, etc. The fuel tank will be empty. Fuel is provided through a small auxiliary tank for testing. This immensely helps maintain

safety in our manufacturing facility and while shipping.

NOTICE

Expensive damage to the Bandit will occur if proper preparation is not taken before welding on the machine. Be

sure to disconnect both battery cables and the engine ECM (engine control module) before welding. Follow the

specic Engine MFG. instructions for proper welding and grounding procedures, before attempting to weld on the machine. If welding on the machine, do not ground the welder through the machine bearings, ground near work to be performed.

PAINT CARE

To help keep up the appearance of your Bandit Equipment and reduce the possibility of surface rust follow these steps:

1) The machine should be washed on a regular basis with a non-abrasive mild detergent and

then rinsed thoroughly. Do not pressure wash sensitive areas like: decals, gauges, electronic devices, autofeed control, etc.

2) If a stone chip, paint scratch, or paint crack occurs - it should be repaired immediately. Simply sand the edges of the damaged paint area, mask off the surrounding area and apply primer and paint to the dry, clean, and warm surface. This will help keep the damaged area

from spreading or getting worse.

3) If you are unable to sand and mask the area, there are containers of primer and paint

available. A small brush can be used to touch up the area.

4) Also, primer and most colors of paint are available in aerosol spray cans to simply spray over the effected area after it is cleaned, dry, and warmed. This method is not as reliable as

the process in step #2.

It is also reported that some equipment owners polish their machine at least yearly, and keep good mud aps on their towing trucks.

possession.

CHECK THE ANVIL TO KNIFE CLEARANCE

1. This clearance should be checked on a weekly basis or as knives are changed. To check the anvil clearance, follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures. Once all safety procedures are completed the anvil to knife clearance can be checked.

2. In order to check the clearance, lift the infeed hopper and lock into position. Use a feeler gauge or the anvil to knife gauge supplied by Bandit to check the clearance of the rst knife to the anvil. Check the clearance at the left and right sides of the knife.

3. Once that knife has been checked, remove the drum lock pin, and very carefully rotate the chipper drum so the other knives can be checked.

4. Once all knives have been checked, adjust the anvil according to the closest knife. The anvil to knife

clearance should be .045” (1.1mm) to .065” (1.7mm).

5. Set the closet knife to this distance.

ANVIL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1. To adjust the anvil, loosen the anvil bolts from underneath the machine.

2. Once the components have been loosened, move the anvil to the correct clearance.

3. Once the knife is set to the correct clearance, .045” (1.1mm) to .065” (1.7mm), retighten all

components.

4. Make sure bolts are torqued to their specic bolt torques refer to the Bolt Torque Chart.

5. Carefully rotate the chipper drum to make sure all the knives and hardware clear the anvil.

1. Check tensioning during the rst 2 through 48 hours of run-in operation especially.

2. Over tensioning or under tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.

3. Keep belts free from foreign materials that may cause the belt to slip.

4. Make V-drive inspection on a periodic basis. Never use belt dressing as this will damage

the belt and cause early failure.

5. Belts should never be forced over the sheave. Allow enough room for belts to slip on.

6. Always make sure sheaves are aligned properly.

TENSIONING PROCEDURE

Main Drive Belts

Follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures. Locate the center of the belt span between the sheaves.

Push or pull on the belt until the belt has deected 1/4” (6.4 mm). Record the push or pull force. The force should be 8 to 9 lbs./belt (3.6 to 4.1 kg/belt) for an engine powered machine or 7 to 8 lbs./belt (3.2 to 3.6 kg/belt) for a

PTO machine. Adjust the belt tension if the force falls outside of this range. If belts are not properly adjusted belts will slip, glaze over, and be ruined. This is NOT covered by warranty.

1) Remove beltshield.

2) To adjust the belt tension, loosen the four engine mounting bolts and the jam nuts on the engine adjuster

on the fan or front side of the engine.

3) Adjust the belt tension with the engine adjuster on the crank shaft end of the engine. If you have to push the engine with the adjuster, the belts will tighten slightly after the engine is realigned.

4) Use the engine adjuster on the fan or front side of the engine to realign the engine, so the engine sheave and chipper sheave are aligned. The sheaves can be checked with a string or straight edge.

5) Torque the two engine mounting bolts (see Torque Chart for the correct torque) on the opposite side of the engine from the engine adjusters.

6) Loosen the jam nuts on the engine adjuster on the fan or front side of the engine.

7) Torque the engine mount bolt and then tighten the engine adjuster jam nuts on the fan or front side .

8) Hand tighten the remaining engine mount bolt and loosen the engine adjuster jam nut on the crank shaft

end half a rotation. Loosen the engine adjuster jam nuts all the way and torque the engine mount bolt.

9) Tighten the engine adjuster jam nuts on the crank shaft end.

10) Recheck the belt tension and alignment, if readjustment is needed go back to step 2.

11) Reinstall beltshield.

NOTICE lbs./belt (kg/belt) is per 1 belt. If equipped with 4 groove poly band belt, lbs./belt (kg/belt) must be multiplied by 4. If equipped with two 3 groove poly band belts, lbs./belt (kg/belt) must be multiplied by 3 for each poly band

belt.

NOTICE It is a good practice to rotate the belts during tensioning. Then recheck deections. The belts may

need to be tightened again.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS MAINTENANCE RULE!

New belts stretch very soon and must be adjusted several times in the rst few hours of operation. Adjust after one hour of operation, then every four hours until the belts quit stretching.

Failure to do this will cause the belts to burn and y off. THIS FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!

MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURE FOR UNPLUGGING YOUR CHIPPER

If your chipper is plugging, it is usually caused by allowing the engine to drop below required R.P.M.’s.

Operating the engine at speeds lower than full R.P.M.’s causes your chipper to plug. Always run the chipper at full engine speed. Dull chipper knives also contribute to chipper plugging. Dull knives can

create slivers and chunks, causing the engine to lug excessively. Both of the aforementioned conditions

cause a plugging situation.

STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN UNPLUGGING YOUR CHIPPER

1. Before attempting any type of maintenance turn off engine, wait for the drum to come to a complete stop, install the drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in

your possession.

2. Make sure the chipper drum is NOT turning and then unbolt and remove the the chipper hood.

3. Unbolt the infeed hopper, lift the infeed hopper, and lock in the up position.

3. Using gloved hands and some type of raking tool, dig the chips out of the chipper housing.

4. If the discharge chute is plugged, use a raking tool to pull the majority of chips out of the open outlet end of the chute. Then, remove the chute. If used properly, a hoist can be used to assist

in the removal of the chute.

5. Never allow one person to turn the chipper drum when someone else is working inside the chipper housing. More than likely, the chipper drum will turn hard then loosen causing it to turn faster. If another person is anywhere near the chipper drum, they may be injured.

6. Never turn the chipper drum by hand. Always use a pry bar or wood bar. This will prevent the

person turning the drum from being injured should the drum break loose.

7. Reinstall the discharge chute, mount securely and point it in a safe direction away from anything.

8. Never leave the chipper hood off and try to start the engine to let the chipper drum blow chips

out of the housing, this is very hard on the engine of the chipper and may cause damage. Also, the ying debris is very dangerous. An exposed chipper drum turning very fast creates an unsafe condition. In other words, DO NOT start the chipper with the hood removed or open because it is

just too dangerous.

9. Once the drum turns freely, put the chipper hood back into position and bolt it, start engine,

properly bring the throttle to full speed. Insert a small branch into the chipper drum. If the chips

discharge properly, the chipper is clear and normal operation may resume.

Knives should be replaced in sets. These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening

done to the knives. It should be reinstalled with another knife of comparable usage. It helps to keep the disc/drum balanced, and it helps maintain chip quality.

NEVER allow these knives to wear beyond absolute specied minimum distance from the center line of bolt.

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHIPPER PROBLEMS

1) Chipper Makes Poor Quality Chips or Does Not Feed Properly. A. Knives have lost their edge. File, grind or

replace knives. DO NOT operate the Bandit with dull knives.

B. Knife anvil worn or needs adjustment.

Rotate, repair or replace (see below).

C. Chipper drum is not operating properly. D. The throat/base opening is a high-wear

area. The feed plate anvil takes much

of this wear but other areas wear as well. Attention must be paid to any areas

where outer, noncutting edges of chipper knife are exposed. These areas must be

built up with weld to maintain the original integrity. E. Knives are at the wrong angle. Knives must be ground at a 30° to 30 1/2° angle.

F. Material being chipped is very small, dry

or rotting. This type of material does not produce good chip quality.

2) Chipper Knife Hits Anvil.

A. Check the anvil clearance at both sides of the knife by using a feeler gauge, the clearance should be approximately

.045” to .065” (1.1 to 1.7 mm) from the

highest knife. B. Check the chipper bearing bolts for tightness (SEE TORQUE CHART).

DANGER

The knives must be securely fastened and torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks during operation, someone or something may get injured.

3) Discharge Plugs or Does Not Throw Chips Properly.

A. Lugging engine on large material - keep

engine RPM up.

B. Knives are dull or worn to minimum size.

C. Obstruction in discharge chute. Patches welded into the chute can cause

obstruction of chip ow. Anything causing

an obstruction will cause the chute to plug. D. Chipping rotting material that has little substance can also plug the discharge chute.

4) Chipper Bearings Running Too Hot.

A. Improper lubrication - purge bearings once a day with EP-2 Lithium type grease. B. Chipper drum operating at too high RPM’s.

DO NOT exceed recommended RPM’s.

C. Bearings worn out (REPLACE).

D. Bearing lock collar is loose.

If the anvil has only slight nicks or marks, the working edge can be touched up with a le. If it has any further damage, ip the anvil to one of the other four working edges.

DANGER

Make sure the knife bolt heads clear the anvil anytime the chipper knives are changed/ipped or if the anvil

has been adjusted.

KNIFE GRINDING AND FILING

Only Bandit knives and hardware are recommended for use in your Bandit chippers. Only then can you be assured of a quality product that ts and performs the best to the standards of excellence that is expected from

the Bandit chipper.

Chipper knives MUST be kept sharp at all times for the ultimate chipper and knife performance. The main cause of poor cutting performance is dull knives.

Dull Knives Cause:

- Excessive waste of engine horsepower

- Bad quality chips; chunks, slivers, etc.

- Excessive strain on knives and mounting hardware

- Excessive strain on chipper disc/drum bearings

and total machine

- Excessive chipping vibration damaging the machine

- Excessive strain on drives, PTO’s, engines, etc.

- Increase the probability of the discharge plugging and decreases the throwing distance

- Loss of time and money

The Dulling Of Chipper Knives Is Caused By:

- Poor quality knives

- Improper anvil to knife clearance

- Force feeding wood faster than chipper will accept

- Dirt, grit, or foreign material on the wood

- Chipper knives ground at wrong angle

- Improper care of knives and knife hardware

These are just a few factors, there are other situations that can lead to the dulling of chipper knives.

NOTICE

Many times a chipper knives cutting edge/point can be brought back to a good edge with a #10 Flat

Bastard Mill File. This can reduce the amount of regrinding.

Typical Knife Grinding Angles:

“Bolt-In” Knives = 30° to 30 1/2° Angle

Knives should be replaced in sets. These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening done to the

knives (knife width). Regrinding knives reduces the width of the knife. Knife replacement should be done in sets of the same width knives. That will reduce chipping

vibration and increase chipping performance.

CAUTION

Do not grind the knives in a direction which produces a radius, or hollow grind, on the surface of the knife.

Strength and life of the cutting edge is reduced.

- For maximum chipper efciency, the original cutting angle must be maintained when the knives are sharpened. The knives should be machine ground to produce a at, straight edge.

- Do not sharpen the knives with a hand held power grinder. The knife angle can’t be held and heat will

distort the metal.

- Sharpening techniques should be the same as those employed for any high carbon steel cutting

edge. Use a coolant and exercise care not to draw temper or crack the cutting edges by excessive heating.

- Knives may be sharpened repeatedly as long as their

original width is not reduced to less than the specied minimum width. If a knife measures less than the specied minimum width after sharpening, it must be

discarded.

- Inspect the knives after grinding to ensure the knives are free of cracks.

- Maintain spare sharpened knives to avoid downtime for knife sharpening.

NOTICE

- Keep knives sharp.

- Keep knife angle correct when grinding.

- Do not over grind so knife is narrower than allowed width, or you will pack wood and break knives.

- Use correct knife size, knife quality, knife mounting hardware, and torque knife mounting hardware to the specied torque.

- Replace knife mounting hardware after (5) times of

tightening.

B efore attemp ting an y type of mainte nance

disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, install the disc/drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key

is in your possession.

DANGER

The knives must be securely fastened and torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks during operation, someone or something may get injured.

the Bandit chipper.

1. Before attempting any type of maintenance turn off engine, wait for the drum to come to a complete stop,

install the drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in your possession.

2. Remove the bolts from the bottom of the infeed hopper.

3. Carefully lift the infeed hopper and use the spring lock to hold the infeed hopper up. Do not let the

infeed hopper down slam. This will cause damage to the hinge. If the hinge becomes damaged by

slamming the infeed hopper, replace the hinge immediately! If the hinge has become damaged, it will cause misalignment, the chipper drum may hit the infeed hopper and cause a serious accident!

DANGER

Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra

careful and wear proper hand protection when handling

knives. Before changing knives make sure all shut

down procedures are followed.

DANGER

Make sure the knife bolt heads clear the anvil anytime the chipper knives are changed/ipped or if the anvil

has been adjusted.

4. Changing the chipper knives is a two person job. One person, using a wooden block, holds the chipper knife in place while the other person removes the chipper knife hardware. Remove all of the knives in each pocket. Typically a 7/32” hex wrench or hex bit socket is required to change or torque the knife hardware.

5. Once the knives have been removed, inspect the knife pocket. Check for secure welds, excessive wear, impact cracks, and the condition of the knife bolt threads. If a problem is found, contact your local dealer

or Bandit Industries.

6. Clean out the knife pocket at this time. Remove all debris from the pocket and knife bolt holes.

7. Sharpen, rotate, or replace the chipper knife. Knives should be professionally ground, maintaining angle and dimensional specications. Knives should be replaced in sets. These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening done to the knives. It should be reinstalled with another knife of comparable usage. It helps to keep the drum balanced, and it helps maintain chip quality. Do not allow the knives to wear beyond the absolute minimum specied distance from the center line of the bolt hole. Reinstall the chipper knives. Make sure to properly torque the knife hardware, see Bolt Torque Chart. Knife mounting hardware must be replaced after maximum of 4 - 5 knife rotations/changes to in sure safe clamping ability. All knives and knife mounting hardware must be factory approved.

8. Remove the drum lock pin. Very carefully, manually with a bar, turn the chipper drum to the next knife pocket. Reinstall the drum lock pin.

9. Repeat steps 6 though 10, for each knife pocket.

10. Once the knives have been changed or rotated, check the anvil clearance. Make sure the clearance is maintained to the specied distance from the highest knife. Do Not under any circumstance attempt to

rotate the chipper drum while someone is inside the infeed hopper. They may become seriously

injured, Do Not Do This!

11. Close the infeed hopper and reinstall the bolts for the infeed hopper..

LUBRICATION & COOLANT

1) Engine:

Follow original equipment manufacturer’s requirements for both changing oils and lters, refer to engine manual specications.

2) Engine Coolant:

Refer to engine manufacturer’s manual specications.

3) Infeed Hopper Hinge:

Make sure the infeed hopper hinge operates correctly, and is lubricated daily. Must replace hinge if damaged.

4) Steel Friction Areas:

Lubricate all steel friction areas including, but not limited to pivoting, hinged, sliding, and rotating areas weekly. (i.e. castor wheel mount bar, discharge ipper, etc.)

5) Discharge Swivel:

Grease swivel plates for discharge every 3 months or as needed.

6) Chipper Bearings:

Use an EP-2 Lithium type grease only for all bearings. Purge chipper bearings daily with grease you can not over grease these bearings. The bearings are designed with a relief system that will not allow over greasing.

In other words, you can not hurt the bearing seals by pumping in too much grease. Wipe off excess grease.

Excessive grease will attract dirt.

Most of the failures related to bearings are diagnosed as “Contamination”. Contamination is caused by improper lubrication. Especially important is proper lubrication when the chipper is setting idle. The bearings must be

fully purged when shut down. Then the bearings must be again fully purged each thirty (30) days and the machine allowed to run for approximately 10 minutes. Then fully purged again before the machine is put back into operation. Failure to do this will ruin the bearings. Bearings corrode when the machine is setting idle.

The second largest cause of bearing failure is operating them at high speeds when the grease is cold. This causes the bearing race to turn on the shaft. Naturally this ruins the bearing as well as the shaft. Allow

the bearings to turn at slower speeds for at least ve minutes. Also check the bearing lock collar set screws or bearing locknut for tightness each 30 days. Loose set screws or locknut allows the race to turn on the shaft.

Failed bearings diagnosed as contamination or cold starts at high speed are not covered by warranty of the bearing manufacturer.

7) Jack Shaft Bearings (PTO Machines):

Use an EP-2 Lithium type grease only for all bearings. If the machine is PTO powered, purge jack shaft bearings daily with grease you can not over grease these bearings. The bearings are designed with a relief system that

will not allow over greasing. In other words, you can not hurt the bearing seals by pumping in too much grease. Wipe off excess grease. Excessive grease will attract dirt.

8) Castor Wheel Pivot Bushings:

Grease castor wheel pivot bushings with 1 to 2 shots of an EP-2 Lithium type grease monthly. Wipe off excess

grease. Excessive grease will attract dirt.

9) Wheel Bushings:

Grease wheel bushings with 1 to 2 shots of an EP-2 Lithium type grease monthly. Wipe off excess grease.

Excessive grease will attract dirt.

10) Wheel Bearings (Towable Machines):

On towable machines, grease wheel bearings until full with an EP-2 Lithium type grease monthly. Yearly, inspect and clean wheel hub bearings, cups, and seals. Replace seals if ever removed. Grease wheel bearing with an EP-2 Lithium type grease. Remove rubber plug and pump grease into E-Z Lube zerk until all of the old grease is pumped out of the dust cap. Wipe off excess grease. Excessive grease will attract dirt.
