barrier.
a. Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor
warmed up and the rotor is up to speed.
b. Slowly slide the wooden material into the
feed hopper and move it into the rotor.
c. Do not force the material into the rotor, as
the material engages the rotor, the rotor will
draw the material in. Use continuous lite
pressure to guide in the material.
d. Be aware of how much material you feed in,
slow down or stop if the engine begins to
slow down.
e. Do not reach into the feed hopper further
than the curtain to be sure not to contact the
blades on the rotor.
f. Use a stick or branch to push any piece of
material into the rotor 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 take a chance with
getting your hand caught in the rotor.

5/8" (13 mm to 16 mm). For accurate measurement use a drive belt tension gauge. Contact your dealer
for more information on belt tension.
Drive Belt Tension Check and Adjustment:
1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off
and the fuel valve is closed).
2. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the belt guard to
the chipper, remove the belt guard.
3. Check the tension by pushing on the belt with
your fore nger and measure its defection. Drive
belt should deect no more than 1/2 to 5/8" (13
mm to 16 mm).
4. If the belt requires adjustment, lift and secure
the hopper, loosen (do not remove) the 4 x bolts
that hold the engine mount to the main frame,
(access from the front of the motor, under the
motor mount: see g 23).
1. To tighten turn clockwise
2. To loosen turn counter-clockwise.
5. Turn the belt tensioning bolt clockwise, to pull
the engine mount outwards to tighten the belt
or turn the bolt clockwise, to loosen the belt.
6. Snug 1 bolt on each side of the engine mount.
7. Check the tension by pushing on the belt with
your fore nger and measure its defection.
Drive belt should deect no more than 1/2 to
5/8" (13 mm to 16 mm).
8. If the tension is incorrect, loosen the engine
mount bolts and adjust the belt tension bolt as
required.
9. When tension is correct, tighten up all four
engine mount bolts and replace the belt shield
and bolts.

7.2.5 SHEAVE ALIGNMENT
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. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
2. Turn machine off, stop engine, remove ignition
key and place in pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop.
3. Remove the belt guard and upper belt guard.
4. Have a straight edge at least 50" (127cm) in
length.
5. Place the straight edge along the face on the
back of the clutch, and place the opposite end
along the back 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 at-
tached 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.
Note: movement of the
sheave may occur when
tightening the bushing, some
allowance for movement
may be required.
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 align-
ment.
h. Carefully tighten hex bolts progressively
(1/4 turns) and uniformly until rmly seated.
i. Recheck belt tension and assemble belt
guards.

7.2.6 BLADE AND BREAKER MAINTENANCE:
The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the Chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspec-
tion 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.
Rotor Blades:
The rotor is equipped with 2 blades (BXT4213, BXT4214su, BXT4224, BXT4228su) or 4 blades
(BXT6224, BXT6228su, BXT6238) 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 engine is off (ignition
switch is off and the fuel valve is
closed).
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 re-sharpened
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 second blade.

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 designed with 4 usable corners. 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 engine is off (ignition switch
is off and the fuel valve is closed).
2. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the ledger
blade to the ledger mount, remove the
blade.
3. Rotate the blade and replace or replace
with new or re-sharpened blade.
4. Hand tighten the bolts and set the clearance between the ledger and rotor
blades at 1/32 - 1/16" (.76 - 1.52 mm). For
fast and easy setting, use our chipper
clearance setting gauge, available from
your dealer (see accessories)
5. Tighten down bolts as specied in the

Twig Breaker:
The Twig Breaker is a breaker tab located on side of the lower rotor housing. The discharge paddle
passes around the twig breaker and helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into
mulch. Inspect the twig breaker for damage such as gouges, a bent, or missing
tooth. A damaged twig breaker should
be replaced. If the tooth is showing wear,
remove and replace the twig breaker.
1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch
is off and the fuel valve is closed).
2. Remove the 2 bolts and nuts that hold
the twig breaker to the housing, remove
the twig breaker.
3. Reverse the steps to install the new
twig breaker.
