seconds of thought and a more careful approach
to handling equipment. You, the operator, can
avoid many accidents by observing the following
precautions in this section. To avoid personal
injury or death, study the following precautions
and insist those working with you, or for you to
follow them.
2. In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual may
show an assembly with a safety shield removed.
However, equipment should never be used in
this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield
removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace
the shield prior to use.
3. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that
is not readable or is missing. Location of such
safety signs is indicated in this manual.

6. This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person familiar
with machinery and trained in this equipment's
operations. If the elderly are assisting with work,
their physical limitations need to be recognized
and accommodated.

2�3 SAFETY TRAINING
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration
of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best safety feature is
an informed, careful operator." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to
read and understand ALL
Safety and Using instructions in the manual
and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
4� Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries� Read this manual
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine� If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
• Reads and understands the operator's
manuals�
• Is instructed in safe and proper use of

3� PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!
Power equipment with or
without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent or partial
hearing loss. We recommend
that you wear hearing
protection on a full-time basis if the noise
in the Operator's position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term
basis may cause permanent, total hearing
loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise
(from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other
such sources close to the ear) is cumulative
over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery.
4. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury or damage.
5. Use only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs

4�5 PTO DRIVELINE
A PTO drive line is supplied with the machine. To
accompany the variety of 3 point hitch geometry
available today, the drive line can be too long for
most machines or too short for others. It is very
important that the drive line be free to telescope but
not to bottom out when going through its working
range. If the drive line bottoms out, the bearings
on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be
overloaded and fail in a short time.
1� To determine the proper length of the drive
line, follow this procedure:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
b. Attach the chipper to the tractor (see section
4.6) but do not attach the drive line.
c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level
with the tractor PTO shaft.
d. Measure the dimension (A) between the
locking grooves on the tractor PTO shaft and
the machine input shaft.
e. Measure the same dimensions on the
compressed drive line.
f. If the compressed drive line dimension (B)
exceeds the machine dimension (A), the drive
line will have to be cut.
2� When cutting the drive line, follow this
procedure:
a. Subtract the machine dimension (A) from the
uncut drive line dimension (B) or (B-A=C).
b. Add one inch (25 mm) to dimension (C) to
determine the cut off dimension.
c. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from both
ends. Cut both the plastic tubes and the metal
cores.
d. Use a le to remove the burrs from the edges
that were cut.
e. Assemble the 2 ends of the shaft.
f. Make sure the shaft can telescope freely. If it
does not, separate the 2 parts and inspect for
burrs or cuttings on the shaft ends. Be sure it
telescopes freely before installing.
g. Raise and lower the chipper. A correctly sized
shaft should not bottom out or come apart.
NOTE
Telescoping shaft
Should overlap at
least 6" under load.

Page 29
4�10�4 CHIPPING OPERATION
The BX Wood Chipper is a strong, rugged machine
that is built to a straight-forward design which
provides consistent chipping of logs.
Capacity:
3" (8cm) in diameter for the BX32S.
5" (13cm) in diameter for the BX52S.
7" (17cm) in diameter for the BX72S.
10" (25cm) in diameter for the BX102S.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
whenever operating the machine. This includes but
is not limited to a hard hat, protective shoes with slip
resistant soles, protective goggles or face shield,
heavy gloves, hearing protection and protective
clothing.
Do not place metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass
or other solid material into the wood chipper. If
something like this gets into the machine, stop the
machine immediately for a detailed inspection.
If opening up any guards for inspection, always put
the machine in Safe Condition:
• disengage the PTO
• shut off the engine
• ensure all components have stopped moving
• remove and pocket the ignition key
• block & chock the wheels
• set rotor lock if required.
Inspect machine for damaged or loosened parts,
repair or replace parts as required before resuming
work.
a. Delimb large branches and trees, the limbs
on the branches may catch the roller feed
control bar as they pass by them and shut
the rollers off.
b. Be aware of the size and shape of the
material, crotchety, curved branches and logs
can move in unpredictable ways as they pass
through the feed rollers. Large curved pieces
should be cut to smaller straighter sections.
c. Hold small diameter branches / limbs together
in a bundle and feed in simultaneously.
d. Place short branches on top of longer ones,
to avoid reaching into the hopper.
e. Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor
is warmed up and the rotor is up to speed.
f. Move the feed control bar into the feed
position to start the feed rollers turning
g. Stand to the side of the feed table, slowly slide
material into the feed table and move it into
the feed rollers.
h. Do not force the material into the rollers, as
the material engages the roller, the roller will
draw the material in.
i. Ensure your wood chip pile is contained and
doesn't affect the immediate work area.
4�10�5 OPERATING HINTS:
1. Delimb branches that are greater than 1"
(2.5cm) before you feed them into the hopper.
This will prevent the tree from jamming in the
feed hopper and prevent feeding.
2. When feeding large bushy branched material,
have some one positioned at the roller control
bar to keep branches from hitting the roller
control bar and deactivating the rollers.
3. Line up the chipper to the material to feed
straight in to the feed table, loading will be easier
and limit the amount of material handling time.
4. Keep the working area clean and free of debris
to prevent slipping or tripping. Operate only on
level ground.
Caution: Do not reach into the feed
hopper at any time, use a stick or branch
to push any piece of material into the
rollers that does not move on its own. If the jam
persists then stop the engine and wait for the rotor
to stop and then clear the jam.
Do not chance getting your hand caught in
the rollers�

7�2 MAINTENANCE
By following a careful service and maintenance program for your machine, you will enjoy many years of
trouble-free operation.
Put the machine in Safe Condition before working on this machine:
• disengage the PTO
• shut off the engine
• ensure all components have stopped moving
• remove and pocket the ignition key
• block & chock the wheels
• set rotor lock if required
7�2�1 DRIVELINE MAINTENANCE
The PTO drive line is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through
its operational range.
A heavy duty plastic tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the
driving components.
The drive line should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly,
cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all components function as intended.
Ensure that the universal joints are lubricated, inspect and lubricate every 8 hours.
When reassembling the driveline, ensure that the driveline is assembled "in phase", to avoid unnecessary
vibration when the machine is running.
7�2�2 SHEAR PIN:
The PTO drive line is designed with a shear pin at the input yoke to prevent overloading the drive system.
Remove the broken parts from the yoke when the pin shears and replace with genuine Wallenstein parts.
The drive system is designed to function well without failing the shear pin. If it does fail, generally it is
being fed too fast or something very hard has been jammed into the rotor or between the blades. Always
unplug the system and determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resuming work. Shear pin
replacements are available from your dealer

7�2�3 ROTOR LOCK PIN
All models except BX32S: Rotor Lock Pin works on a pull, twist and release principle and is a simple and
reliable spring pin used to secure the rotor from moving while the upper rotor housing is open. It is designed
to only be able to be engaged when the rotor housing is open, the spring pin cannot be engaged when the
rotor housing is closed. This feature prevents unintended use while in operation.
The rotor lock pin should be used anytime the rotor housing is open to prevent potential injury.

7�2�5 ROTOR BLADES:
The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the Chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspection
is recommended. Keep the blades sharp to reduce the amount of power required during operation.
Watch the sharpness of the blades when processing material with a lot of sand, soil or dirt mixed with
it. Reverse or sharpen the blades if the cutting edge becomes dull.
The rotor is equipped with 4 blades spaced evenly to keep the rotor in balance. If one needs to be
changed, the one opposite should also be changed.
It is recommended that the rotor blades be removed from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen
the blades at a 45° angle to provide the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade. Be sure to
tighten the blade mounting bolts to their specied torque when re-installing the blades to the rotor.
1. Ensure the machine is set in Safe Condition(See Section 7.2).
2. Remove the bolt that secures the
upper rotor housing, and carefully
open the rotor housing.
3. With care, slowly rotate chipper rotor
plate until the rotor lock lines up with
lock hole in the rotor plate.
4. Engage the rotor lock, and ensure
it snaps into the lock hole. Do not
allow the rotor lock to snap into the
chipper blade slot, damage to the
blade may result.

7�2�6 LEDGER BLADES:
Each machine is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor
blades.
The ledger blade is located on the lower rotor housing, mounted on slotted holes for adjustment. There
are 4 usable corners on the blade, when the corner facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the blade
and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade. It is recommended that the clearance between
the rotor and stationary blades be
set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16"
(.76 - 1.52 mm) to obtain the best
performance.
1. Ensure the machine is set in Safe
Condition (See Section 7.2).
2. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the
ledger blade to the ledger mount.
3. Carefully remove the blade, pull it
down and slightly to the side to clear
the axle.
4. Rotate the blade and replace or
replace with new or re-sharpened
blade.
5. Hand tighten the bolts.
6. Set the clearance between the
ledger and rotor blades using the
ledger adjuster: loosen the nuts on
the adjuster and move the ledger to
the correct clearance.
7. Clearance settings should be set at
1/32 - 1/16" (.76 - 1.52 mm).
For fast and easy setting, use the chipper clearance setting gauge, included with your BX CHIPPER
8. Ensure you move both adjusters evenly.
9. Tighten adjuster nuts, then tighten ledger blade bolts. Tighten as specied in the torque chart.

7�2�7 LEDGER BLADE ADJUSTING TOOL:
The ledger blade adjusting tool is located on the lower rotor housing. (Tool not included with BX32 series)
As the blade wears, it can be rotated or ipped to use a fresh corner. When the blade is moved, it must have
its clearance settings adjusted to maintain its shearing efciency.
The best way to ensure you have the correct clearance is to use the Wallenstein Ledger Adjusting Tool. It
is the correct thickness to set the recommended clearance between the rotor and stationary blades which
should be set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16 " (.76 - 1.52 mm) to obtain the best performance.
Depending on your chipper model, you may or may not have adjusting bolts along with mounting nuts and
bolts to hold in your ledger blade. In either case use of the ledger adjusting tool will be the same.
Follow the directions in your owners manual for specic details for your machines ledger blade maintenance.
1. Ensure the machine is set in Safe Condition (See Section 7.2).
2. Perform the ledger blade maintenance as described in the owners manual.
3. Remove the bolt that secures the upper rotor housing, and carefully open the rotor housing.
4. Carefully move the rotor so the a rotor blade overlaps the ledger blade.
5. Loosen the fasteners and / or adjusters and move the ledger away from the rotor blade.
6. Insert the gauge between the ledger blade and rotor blade
7. Move the ledger blade in towards the rotor blade.
8. Ensure you move the ledger evenly, so the entire edge of the ledger is in contact with the gauge.
9. Hand tighten the fasteners, the gauge should drag slightly between the blades
10. With the gauge in place:
a. Tighten adjuster nuts rst, (if your model has them)
b. Tighten ledger blade bolts.
c. Tighten all fasteners as specied in the torque chart.
11. Check that the gauge still drags slightly when you remove it.
Ledger blade is now correctly adjusted and is ready for service.
It is recommended to occasionally check the blade clearance per your chippers maintenance schedule.
