OPERATING TECHNIQUE
WARNING
CAUTION
Make sure debris does not blow into traffic,
parked cars, or pedestrians.
When feeding material into machine, do not
allow metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or any other foreign material to be fed into the machine.
1. Run chipper at full operating speed before starting
to chop material.
2. Select limbs that are up to 4-1/2 inches in diameter.
Trim side branches that cannot be bent enough to
feed into the chipper hopper. Hold small diameter
branches together in a bundle and feed in together.
3. Make sure pieces of metal, rocks, cans, and other
foreign objects are removed before feeding
chipable material into the machine.
4. Feed brush from the side of the chipper hopper to
avoid being hit by the brush moving into the
chipper.
5. Do not lean over the chipper hopper to push
objects into the chipper. Use a push stick or brush
paddle.
6. Never use a shovel or fork to feed brush into the
chute. They can be chipped, are expensive to
replace, and cause extensive damage to the
chipper. Metal pieces can be ejected from the
chipper hopper and cause serious injury or death.
7. Never feed brush into the chipper hopper with your
feet.
8. Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper hopper
until it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed
rate of the limb into the chipper will depend on the
type of material fed and sharpness of the cutting
blades.
9. Stop the material feeding and allow the engine to
recover if the engine slows to where it may stall.
10. Remove the branch and rotate it before reinserting
it into the chute if the chipper jams.
11. Alternately insert and retract the limb or insert
continuously at a rate that will not stall the engine.
12. Chipping dead, dry material will create heat and
dull the chipping blades quickly.
13. Alternate green material with dry material to
lubricate the chipping blades for longer life and
better performance.
14. The chipping blades will become dull and will
require periodic sharpening. Refer to Blade
Sharpening, page 18 for sharpening instructions.
STORING CHIPPER
1. On a hard, level surface lower chipper with 3-point
lift arms to the ground.
2. Disconnect drive shaft, 3-point lift arms, and top
link from tractor.
3. Place drive shaft in storage position up off the
ground.

chipper blades. It is recommended that the blades be
sharpened every 5 to 15 hours or if the chipper’s performance has decreased. Check for the following
symptoms and sharpen the blades as needed.
● Severe vibration when feeding material into the
chipper.
● Small diameter branches do not self-feed.
● Chips discharge unevenly or have stringy tails,
especially when chipping green branches.
Blade Removal & Cutting Edge Reversal
1. Remove the discharge cap or optional discharge
tube from the chipper housing.
2. Install disk lock. See Install Disk Lock, page 17.
The disk is restrained to remove blade.
3. Remove blade by removing lock nuts from chipper
disk.
4. Inspect blades for cracks or nicks in cutting edge.
5. Turn cutting edge over and use new edge or
sharpen if both edges have been used.
6. Remove disk lock, rotate chipper disk, align holes,
insert disk lock, and remove blade, turn cutting
edge or sharpen second blade.
1. Never sharpen or grind the mounting surface of the
blades. This will cause the edge to roll and the
blade will be damaged, resulting in poor chipping
performance.
2. Regrind the angled edge of the chipper blade to
45-degrees. See Figure 6.
3. The blades can be ground on a bench grinder of a
professional.
4. Make sure some type of fixture is used to correctly
hold the blade at the proper angle.
5. Be careful when grinding so that the blades does
not become overheated and change color. This will
remove the heat-treated properties.
6. Use short grinding times and cool with water or
some type of liquid coolant.
7. Remove an equal amount off each side of the
blade to maintain rotor balance.
8. Small imperfections such as nicks and burrs on the
flat side of the blade will not affect the chipping
performance of the machine,
9. For blades that have been repeatedly sharpened,
make sure that the sharpened surface extends
past the chipping slot opening. If it does not extend
past the opening, the blades must be replaced.
7. Install discharge cap or optional discharge tube
when blades have been reworked.
Blade Inspection
Before you sharpen the chipper blades, check for permanent damage. Replace if:
● There are cracks, broken corners or nicks greater
than 1/8 inch. See Figure 5.
● The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been
sharpened so that the edge extends less than 1/16
inch above the rotor chipping slot.

2. Place blade on the disk and secure into position
using two 1/2 x 1-3/4 (ASTM F835) flat head
screws and 1/2 lock nuts. Torque hardware to 120
lbs-ft.
3. Remove disk lock, rotate disk assembly, install disk
lock, and install second blade.
4. Install discharge cap or optional discharge tube.
