Discharge slows down
• The chipper is clogged up
Turn the engine off, disconnect the spark plug wires, ensure rotor has completely stopped, remove
debris, then close and lock the outlet chute
The chipper is slowing down
• The chipper can’t process the amount of material fed into it
Feed the material in slower
Reduce material volume
The chipper will not self-feed
The knives and/or anvil might be blunt
Inspect and sharpen or replace knives and/or anvil as required. Ensure correct clearances between
knives and anvil
The material is ejected in long strips
• The knives and/or anvil might be blunt
Inspect and sharpen or replace knives and/or anvil as required. Ensure correct clearances between

The chipper is clogged
Turn the engine off, disconnect the spark plug wires, ensure rotor has completely stopped, remove
debris, then close and lock the outlet chute
The chipper starts making unusual noise, the cutting rotor strikes a foreign object or the chipper starts to vibrate
Turn the engine off, disconnect the spark plug wires, ensure rotor has completely stopped, then inspect
for damage
Replace or repair any damaged parts
Check for and tighten any loose parts
Do NOT attempt to repair the chipper unless you are competent to do so
Maintenance
Maintain the chipper with care and keep it clean at all times.
To service or inspect the equipment, or to change an accessory, you must:
✓ Switch the engine off
✓ Allow the chipper to cool before any inspections or adjustments
✓ Wait until the cutting rotor and engine are at a complete standstill before opening the
cutting rotor housing
✓ Disconnect both spark plug wires from the spark plugs
✓ Switch fuel lever to off position
Initially after 2 working hours:
✓ Check for any loose nuts and bolts
✓ Check belt tension (refer to belt tension section)
The belts will stretch when they are new
✓ Grease the two rotor bearings
One or two pumps are sufficient
Be careful not to over grease
The bearings are greased when the equipment is new
Use bearing grease or all-purpose grease
Every 20 working hours:
✓ Check for any loose nuts and bolts
✓ Check belt tension (refer to belt tension section)
✓ Grease two bearings as above, be careful not to over grease
✓ Check sharpness of knives
✓ Check condition of guarding (belt guard and outlet chute)
A damaged guard must be replaced by an identical or equivalent guard immediately
It is recommended to contact Hansa for a replacement guard.
