Replacing the Shredder Blade

WARNING: The impeller’s chipper blades are
sharp. Wear leather work gloves to protect
your hands.

Stop the engine and make certain that all moving
parts have come to a complete stop.

Remove the two flange nuts (and hex bolts) which
secure the hopper support bracket to the impeller
housing. Retain the hardware. See Figure 10.

Pivot the shredder screen upward as instructed
under the heading Cleaning the Reduction
Chamber

.

Remove the six flange nuts which secure the
hopper inlet guide to the impeller housing. See
Figure 11.

Carefully separate the hopper assembly from the
impeller housing and set it aside.

Insert a piece of wood into the discharge chute
opening to stabilize the impeller and prevent it from
rotating when removing the shredder blade.

the shredder blade to the impeller. See Figure 11.

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. See Figure

cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to
prevent an unbalanced blade. Remove metal from the
heavy side until it is balanced evenly.

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