1. Check anvil clearance, tightness, and wear:
Measure the anvil clearance. The clearance should
be .120” (3.0mm) from highest knife. Check the
anvil hardware, make sure the bolts are at the
proper torque. The anvil is a normal wear item, if
it is worn you can rotate it to a new working edge.
Refer to pages 62 - 63 for the exact checking of anvil
clearance procedure.
2. Check alternator and fan belts on engine:
Inspect belt condition and replace as needed.
As applicable adjust and maintain per the engine
manufacturer’s manual.
3. Check spring tension on feed system:
Do not over tighten. Keep tight for small diameter
material and progressively looser for larger diameter
material. See page 34.
4. Check wheel lug nuts (if equipped):
Keep lug nuts tight, retorque, replace if needed.
5. Lubricate all steel friction areas:
Lubricate all steel friction areas including, but not
limited to pivoting, hinged, sliding, rotating areas
on the machine (i.e. conveyor chain, cabinet doors,
discharge, discharge ipper, engine adjusters etc.)
6. Lubricate chain driven components:
Use a dry lube on any chain driven components:
hydraulic swivel discharge and chain driven
feedwheels.
7. Check uid in pump bearing block:
Keep the uid level in the pump bearing block full,
use an 80W/90 type gear lube. Requires a minimum
of 2.2 oz. (65 ml) and a maximum of 4.4 oz. (130 ml).
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
1. Check towing hitch (if equipped):
Check for excessive damage or wear. Replace if
needed. Keep pintle ring greased to reduce wear.
2. Check discharge and infeed hopper wear:
Check for wear on discharge, infeed hopper, and
discharge direction adjustor; build up, repair or
replace as needed.
3. Inspect feedwheel and conveyor wheel motor
connections, sprockets, and bushings:
Check and maintain correct torque, on feedwheel
and conveyor motor connections, sprockets, and
bushings. See page 42.
4. Check feedwheel teeth for sharpness:
Replace if needed.
5. Check hydraulic pumps, motors and gear
boxes:
Check tightness and connections of all hydraulic
pumps, hydraulic motors, and gear boxes. Tighten
if needed.
6. Check chipper bearings and chipper sheave:
Check, retighten all bearing bolts, bearing lock
collars, and also belt sheave bushings to correct
torques.
7. Check infeed conveyor chain (if equipped):
Check the tracking and tightness of the infeed
conveyor chain. Make sure the chain is running true.
Adjust as needed.
8. Check hydraulic function pressures:
Check, reset and maintain all hydraulic function
pressure settings to a maximum of the specied
PSI (bar). This will give you the best performance
from the hydraulic system.
9. Tire air pressure (if equipped):
Fill each tire to rated capacity on tire.
10. Check wheel bearings (if equipped):
Check and grease or oil wheel bearings per axle
manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Check and adjust brakes (if equipped):
Check and adjust brakes as needed per axle MFG.
manual.
12. Check discharge and feedwheel drive chain
tension:
Check tension on hydraulic swivel discharge and
feedwheel drive chains and tighten as necessary.
Chain tension is 1/4” (6 mm) per foot (0.3 m) of center
distance between sprockets, NOT to exceed a 1/2”
(13 mm) of deection. Do not overtighten, which may
result in hydraulic motor failure.
