Do not move the chipper while the flywheel is turning.
Block the tractor wheels and set the parking brake while running the chipper.
Watch the discharge chute while operating the unit, and if the chips stop flowing, stop feeding material into the unit by pushing forward on the hydraulic control valve handle located on the side of the in-feed bin. This will stop the feed rollers from pulling material in.
Most of the time this will be enough to clear the chips out of the unit. If the unit slows down noticeably, first shut off the PTO power, then the tractor. Un-plug the flywheel by turning it backwards by hand with the discharge chute and the top section of the flywheel housing wrap off.
Remove the chips from the top of the head. If this fails, remove the clean-out door, located in the lower part of the front side-plate of the chipper below the main shaft, and then work the chips out of the case.
Replace the clean-out door after all the chips are removed, be sure to use both the lock washers and the flat washers.
Do not operate the chipper without the chip deflector in place.
Before stopping the chipper, be sure that all of the material is out of the chipper head and out of the in feed roller.
All of the material in the chute must be gone or the unit could jam on a small piece of material. This can usually be cleared by turning the unit backwards by hand.
Dull knives cause many problems such as: seeming lack of power, plugging of the discharge chute, rough cutting with more vibration than usual, feed roll shaft broken, main bearing house broken, main bearing working loose and the flywheel or knives hitting the case or bed knife, feed roller kicking out of gear, and not feeding.
When sharpening the knives, be careful to keep angle A at a 37-39 degree angle. Knives cannot be rounded, or the knives will not pull the material into the head.
The best way to tell if the knives need sharpening is to watch the chips coming out of the chip discharge. If they are long and straight, the knives are in need of service. Sometimes the knives feel sharp to the fingers, but may be worn or rounded. They will need to be sharpened.
