To Remove, Sharpen or Add

Chipper Blades:

Your chipper was sent with one blade attached and a spare

blade in the hardware bag. The belt life will be extended by

operating the chipper with a sharp blade at a time.

 Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the

engine.

 Remove the blade access hatch and rotate the blade to

align with the access hatch.

 Remove the flail screen in the discharge chute by removing

the pins that secure it at the top and bottom of the screen.

 Remove the blade using a 3/16” allen wrench on the

outside of the blade and an adjustable wrench on the

impeller assembly (through the discharge chute). A piece

of pipe or wood should be used to block the flails, prevent-

ing them from inadvertently turning.

 Add, replace or sharpen the blades as desired.

 When sharpening the blade, protect hands by using gloves

and follow the original angle of grind. Also, make sure to

remove an equal amount from each blade and torque to

250 - 300 in. lbs.

NOTE: Make certain blades are reassembled with the

sharp edge facing upward.
