Why does my Echo Chippers/Shredders engine or rotor stall or stop?

  Melissa PriceAug 16, 2025
  Your Echo chipper/shredder's engine or rotor might stall or stop because the chipper rotor housing or discharge tube is plugged. To resolve this, shut off the engine and disengage the belt engagement. Refer to the manual for information on clearing a plugged rotor. Never use the belt engagement to clear a plugged rotor. Another reason could be that you are feeding material that is too large. If this is the case, limit branch size to the rated capacity.

  If your Echo chipper/shredder is chipping poorly, it could be due to several reasons. The chipper blades may be dull; in this case, flip, sharpen, or replace them. Another cause might be loose or worn drive belts. Inspect the drive belts and adjust or replace them if needed. Also, check that you are not feeding material that is too large and limit branch size to the rated capacity.
