SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES

The Salsco 608,610 or 616, is a 3-1/2” capacity, gravity feed Chipper, that is just right for yard clean up jobs. Designed and engineered for doing heavy work, not just chipping a few small branches and mulching leaves.

The extra high 4-1/4” opening, by 3-1/2”, means less pruning of branchy, stringy

material. This unit has a ½” thick, sharpenable, replaceable, and adjustable bed knife to

provide consistent chip size and the ability to chip even the stringiest, brushiest

materials. The 13” diameter impeller is 1” thick, and the four exhaust paddles are fully

gusseted to provide years of use. All bearings are heavy duty, greasable and selfcentering. There are two 3/8” thick, oil hardened, chip blades.

The infeed hopper opening is wide and will accept bushy branches. Gravity feed makes it easy to run material through the chipping disc. The exhaust chute easily fits over the standard trash can or even a 30-Gallon container for easy debris removal.

Available as an option, the Transport Wheel Kit, makes the unit easy to tow on the

road. A 2” ball coupler and tow chains are also provided with the kit.

Quality of Workmanship, Innovative Design, Built to Last!

4. Be sure to grease the machine once a day.

5. Start the engine and let it run at idle for a few minutes to warm-up.

6. When the chipper will no longer pull wood in by itself, the blades need to be sharpened.

SHARPENING

1. Remove the spark plug wire and turn the on-off switch to off.

2. Remove the infeed hopper, three (3) bolts.

3. Pull the rope slowly till the chip blade is in the window.

4. Remove the screws holding the blades onto the impeller.

5. Sharpen or replace the blades. We suggest replacing the screws each time you re-install blades.

6. Be sure to clean the mounting surface and make sure that the blade fits right onto the impeller.

7. Use Locktite when replacing blades. Salsco uses Locktite, Blue 242, Removable at the factory.

9. Loosen the bed knife bolts. Install the infeed hopper.

10. Rotate the impeller by pulling the rope till the chip blades passes the bed knife.

11. Set the clearance to approximately 3/16” by sliding the bed knife in or out to obtain this dimension.

NOTE: The closer the bed knife to the blade, the slower the machine will feed. The greater the gap, the faster it will feed.

When you finish, double-check the following:

1. Clearance of both chip blades to bed knife.

2. Tightness of bed knife bolts and chip blade bolts.

3. Hopper is bolted back on and bolts are tightened.

4. Replace spark plug wire.
