If the engine of your DR Chipper runs but the flywheel remains stationary, the inner clutch shoes may be worn, the retaining springs could be weak or broken, or the drive belt might be loose. To resolve this, replace any worn or broken clutch components, verify and adjust the belt tension as needed, and ensure the chipper chamber is clear of obstructions.
Why is the chipping action so slow or the flywheel stalling on my DR Chipper?
If the chipping action of your DR Chipper seems slow or the flywheel stalls, ensure the engine is running at full throttle. Also, inspect the belt for looseness or if it's missing, and tighten it as necessary.
What to do if log vibrates excessively and hammers hands when chipping with my DR 18.0 HP?
If logs vibrate excessively and cause a hammering sensation in your hands while using the DR Chipper, it's likely that the knives are dull or the gap between the knife and wear plate is too wide. You should remove and sharpen the knife, maintaining the original 45-degree bevel. Also, adjust the gap according to the instructions.
How to fix chipper knives striking side plate on my DR 18.0 HP?
If the chipper knives on your DR Chipper are moving and striking the side plate, the taper lock bushing may be loose, or the set screws in the flywheel shaft bearings might be loose or missing. If the key in the taper lock bearing is too deep, file it down for proper seating. Then, reset the correct knife gap and tighten the set screws.
