SELF-FEEDING CHIPPER
Grease Fittings
Your SELF-FEEDING CHIPPER was greased at the Factory. The operator needs
to periodically lubricate the two Bearings of the Chipper Assembly.
Tools and Supplies needed:
 Two 1/2" Wrenches
 Flexible hose grease gun
 Lithium grease
 Clean cloth
 1/8" Allen Wrench
 Loctite® 243
1. Remove the Bolt, Washer and Locknut that attaches the lower area of
the Guard to the Frame using two 1/2" Wrenches (Figure 38).
2. Remove the two Locknuts and Washers at the center of the Guard
using a 1/2" Wrench.
3. Remove the Guard.
4. Wipe all debris from the grease fitting on the Hopper side (Figure 39)
and the Belt side (Figure 40) with a clean cloth.
5. Apply no more than three pumps of quality general-purpose lithium
grease with a hand-pumped grease gun to each Bearing Grease Fitting.
6. Check the Set Screws for tightness. If they are not tight, remove them,
apply Loctite® to the threads, then reinstall and tighten the Set Screws.
7. Replace the Belt Guard when finished.
