2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Safety of the operator and bystanders is one
of the main concerns in designing and developing equipment. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few 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.

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.
7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'T TRY IT.

authorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
9. In addition to the design and conguration of
this implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety 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 the
machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and
operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor and machine manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs

2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
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.

owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.

operator reads and understands the using procedures and all related safety precautions outlined
in this section. A pre-operation checklist is provided for the operator. It is important for both the
personal safety and maintaining good mechanical
condition that this checklist is followed.
Before operating the Chipper-Shredder and each
time thereafter, the following areas should be
checked off:
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule
outline in the Maintenance Section.
2. Check the rotor and ledger blades, twig
breaker and the rotor. Check clearance and
remove any twine, wire or other material
that has become entangled.
3. Check the condition and clearance of the
shredder knives and chop block. Adjust or
replace as required, and remove any twine,
wire or other material that has become entangled.
4. Check the condition of the curtain in the
chipper feed hopper and the feed gate in
the shredder feed hopper. The curtain and
gate must move freely back into position to
prevent wood from ying out.
5. Check that all bearings turn freely. Replace
any that are rough or seized.
6. Make sure that all guards and shields are in
place, secured and functioning as designed.
7. Check engine uid levels. Top up as re-
quired.

4.5 CONTROLS
Review this section to familiarize yourself with the location and function of each control before starting.
Model BXM42 is illustrated but indicates the general location of the various controls.
The tractors PTO drives the rotor. When the PTO is engaged the rotor will also start to turn. There are no
controls on the unit to engage/disengage the rotor, or control rotor speed.
If you are not familiar with the location of the PTO control on your tractor, review your tractor's Operator's
Manual.
4.5.1 TRACTOR PTO CONTROL:
Always engage the PTO control slowly when the engine is running at low idle RPM. Disengage
the PTO control slowly at low RPM to allow the machine to slow and stop before engaging the PTO
brake.
4.5.2 SHREDDER FEED GATE LEVER:
The shredder intake is designed with spring-
loaded gates to allow the material in the
hopper to move into the shredder rotor and
close when unattended.
Levers on each side of the hopper control the
position of the gate. Move the lever(s) down to
allow the material to move into the shredding
rotor. Release the lever(s) and the spring will
move the gate into its closed position. BXM42
has dual gates, BXM32 has a single gate with
levers on each side.

4.5.3 DISCHARGE CHUTE:
The discharge chute is designed with a
spring-loaded latch handle that allows the
chute to be positioned 360° then locked into
position with the latch.
Lift the latch handle till the chute lock pin disengages, position the chute as required and
release the latch handle and lock the chute
into position at the next nearest lock point.
4.5.4 HOOD DEFLECTOR:
The discharge chute is equipped with a hood
deector on the end of the chute to direct the
chips exactly where desired.
The deector is held in position by clamping
knobs on each side. Turn the knobs counter
clockwise to loosen the deector, move the
deector as required and tighten the clamps.

4.6 DRIVELINE DIMENSION
PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To accommodate the variety of 3 point hitch geometry
available today, the driveline may be too long for your
machine. It is very important that the driveline be free
to telescope and not bottom out when going through
its working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the
bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft
will be overloaded and will 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 / shredder to the tractor
(see section 4.7) but do not attach the driveline.
c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level
with the tractor PTO shaft.
d. Measure the dimension between the lock-
ing grooves on the tractor PTO shaft and the
machine input shaft.
e. Measure the same dimensions on the com-
pressed driveline.
f. If the compressed driveline dimension ex-
ceeds the machine dimension, the driveline
will have to be cut.
2. When cutting the driveline, follow this proce-
dure:
a. Subtract the machine dimension "A" from the
uncut driveline dimension "B", see g 5. This
dimension determines how much the shaft
needs to be shortened.
b. To be sure the shaft doesn't bottom out, add
one inch (25 mm) to the cut off dimension to
determine (C) the nal 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.

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 and knives. Always unplug the system
and determine the cause of the problem and
correct it before resuming work.
Fig. 13 SHEAR PIN
4.8.10 SAFETY CURTAINS:
The feed hopper is designed with an internal
rubber/belting curtain to prevent chips and debris from coming out of the hopper when working. Check the condition of the curtain each
day prior to starting. Replace the curtain if torn,
damaged or missing to minimize the chance of
material coming out of the feed hopper.
4.8.11 OPERATING HINTS:

7.2.2 DRIVELINE MAINTENANCE
The PTO driveline is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes
through its operational range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn
relative to the driving components. The driveline 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. To maintain the driveline, follow this procedure:
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove
the ignition key and place it in your pocket and
wait for all moving parts to stop
2. Remove the driveline from the machine.
3. Pull driveline apart.
4. Use a screwdriver to turn lock studs on each
end. There are 2 studs per guard.
5. Pull the shaft out of the plastic tubular guard.
6. Use a solvent to clean the male and female
portions of the telescoping ends.
7. Apply a light coat of grease to each end.
8. Use a solvent to wash the grooves on each
end where the studs are located. Clean each
end also.
9. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove.
10. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and
align the studs with the holes.
11. Insert the studs through the holes and seat in
the groove.
12. Turn each stud to secure guard to shaft.
13. Check that each guard turns freely on the
shaft.
14. Assemble the driveline.
15. Check that the driveline telescopes easily.
16. Replace any components that are damaged
or worn.
17. Install the driveline on the machine.

7.2.3 SHEAVE ALIGNMENT
Although model BXM32 is illustrated, the procedures can be applied to all models in this manual. A set of V belts
transmits rotational power to the rotor. They must be kept properly tensioned and the sheaves aligned to obtain the
expected performance and life.
For maximum accuracy, have your sheaves aligned with a laser alignment tool. Contact your dealer for information
on laser alignment.
Alignment may be carried out using a straight edge, to
check the alignment, follow this
procedure:
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the
ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait for
all moving parts to stop
2. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
3. Remove the 4 bolts that secure the belt guard, and
remove the guard.
4. Have a straight edge at least 30" (76cm) in length.
5. Place the straight edge along the face of the PTO
sheave, and place the opposite end along the face
of the rotor sheave.
6. Check to see if there is a gap between the straight
edge and the clutch or the sheave, measure the
gap (A).
7. If there is more than 1/32" (.8mm) offset then adjustment is required.

8. To adjust alignment:
a. Loosen the set screw on the bushing attached
to rotor sheave.
b. Remove the 3 hex bolts on the bushing, and
thread them into the tapped holes on the bushing.
c. Tighten the hex bolts progressively with 1/4
turns until bushing is free from the sheave
taper.
d. Move the sheave to the required position
to align the belt.
e. If the offset is 1/32 (.8mm) or less then no
more adjustment is necessary.
f. Align drilled holes with tapped holes on the
sheave, replace and hand tighten the 3 hex
bolts.
g. Tighten the set screw and recheck alignment.
h. Carefully tighten hex bolts progressively (1/4
turns) and uniformly until rmly seated.
i. Recheck belt tension and assemble belt
guards.
Note: movement of the
sheave may occur when
tightening the bushing, some
allowance for movement
may be required.

7.3 CHIPPER / SHREDDER CHAMBER:
The chipper / shredder chamber house the cutting / chopping blades, and need to be sharp for the ma-
chine 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. Twig Breaker & Chop Block should be inspected for gouges or damage.
7.3.1
ROTOR BLADES:
The rotor is equipped with 2 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. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait
for all moving parts to stop .
2. Remove the bolt that secures
the upper rotor housing, and
carefully open the rotor housing.
3. Manually rotate chipper rotor
plate so that the blade is fully
exposed
4. Remove the bolts that hold the
rotor blade to the rotor, remove
the blade.
5. Rotate the blade and reinstall
or replace with new or resharpened blade.
6. Ensure the blade is properly
oriented, with the leading edge
out. The blade is designed to t
into the rotor one way only. See
diagram for proper installation.
7. Tighten down bolts as specied
in the torque chart
8. Repeat steps for remaining blades.

7.3.4 SHREDDER KNIVES:
The shredder rotor is designed with 3 sets of swinging knives (30 knives on the BXM42) 27 knives on
the BXM32). 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.
The sized opening in the divider at the top of the rotor keeps the material inside the rotor housing, until it
becomes a ne enough to move through the opening to the rotor paddles and expelled out the discharge
chute.
To remove the knives follow this procedure:
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait
for all moving parts to stop Remove the bolt that holds the upper rotor housing, and carefully open
the rotor housing.
2. Manually rotate chipper rotor plate so that one set of shredder knives is fully exposed
3. Loosen the shredder bolt that holds the
set of shredder knives and spacers to the
shredder plate,
4. Slowly remove the bolt while catching the
knives and spacers as they become free.
5. Reverse the knife and replace, or replace
with new or re-sharpened knives.
6. Ensure that the knives and spacers
are installed in the correct sequence,
improper installation will decrease
performance of the shredder. Refer to
