GENERAL INSPECTION
• Check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the
chipper at least once a month unless
otherwise specified. Check for tightness
and wear. Replace any that won’t stay
tightened or that have missing or
chipped threads. Check holes for wear
or distortion and replace any parts
necessary.
• All guards and covers must be in place
and in good condition without any gaps
or openings. Replace any bent or
damaged guards or covers immediately.
• Check condition of springs. Replace any
that have gaps or overlapped coils.
TIRES AND AXLES
• Check tires air pressure daily. Inflate
tires as necessary. Keep tires air
pressure adjusted based on the
temperature and the load.
• When towing, make sure the chipper is
sitting as close to level as possible to
ensure proper tire wear and axle
alignment.
• Check lug nuts for proper tightness.
Tighten when necessary. Replace lug
nuts if the threads are worn, chipped, or
missing.
• Check tire rims for damage that could
cause improper air pressure. If rims are
damaged beyond repair, replace.
• See Dexter information for E-Z Lube®
or Nev-R-Lube
® Axles supplied in this
manual. Remember to inspect axles
regularly.
• Check and replace dust caps as needed.
FRAME
• At least once a month, check the chipper
frame and other permanent parts for
cracks, bends, failed welds, or other
damage that needs repair. Repair as
necessary or contact an authorized
dealer.
