To Free a Jammed Rotor
• Check and Remove any material left in the Chipper and Shredder Hoppers,
using a Wooden Stick.
• Start the machine and allow any remaining material in the
Chipping/Shredding Chamber to discharge.
• If the Chipping/Shredding Chamber does not clear and the Rotor is still
jammed, the Shredder Chamber will need to be cleared. See “To Clean Out
a Clogged Shredder Chamber”
• Be certain the Shredding Chamber is clear before trying to process more
material into the Hopper(s). Clogging could result in Belt or Clutch failure.
