4.

Remove six flange nuts which secure hopper inlet guide to

impeller housing. See Fig. 7-3A.

5.

Carefully separate the hopper assembly from the impeller

housing and set it aside.

6.

Insert a piece of wood into the chute deflector opening to

stabilize the impeller and prevent it from rotating when

removing the shredder blade.

7.

Remove the two internal hex screws, hex lock nuts, and

lock washers which secure the shredder blade to the

impeller. See Fig. 7-3B.
NOTE: Use a 3/16” hex key (Allen) wrench on the outside

of the shredder blade and a 1/2” box (or socket) wrench

on the inside of the shredder blade. Hold the Allen wrench

stationary and rotate the box (or socket) wrench to loosen

the nut.

8.

Remove the hex bolt, lock washer, and flat washer to

completely free shredder blade. See Fig. 7-3C.
IMPORTANT: If sharpening the blade for reuse, follow

the original angle of grind as a guide. Make certain each

cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to

prevent an unbalanced blade. Remove metal from the

heavy side until it is balanced evenly.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling the blade, tighten center

bolt to between 45 ft.-lbs and 58 ft.-lbs and the two out

bolts to between 20 ft.-lbs and 25 ft.-lbs.

Off-Season Storage

Allow the unit to run and clear out all debris for a short

time before shutting the unit down before storage.

When storing the chipper shredder in an unventilated or

metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the

non-painted surfaces. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the

equipment, especially any springs, bearings, and cables.

Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.

Follow lubrication recommendations.

Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage

instructions.

Store equipment in a clean, dry area. Do not store in an

area where equipment is present that may use a pilot light

or has a component that can create a spark.
