MAINTENANCE
There are two bearings, one outside and the
other inside the housing . The bearings are
greased when they are new, but it is recommend-
ed to grease them after a couple hours of use.
One or two pumps is sufficient. Be careful not to
over grease. Over lubrication can damage the
bearings.
If the machine's cutting disk strikes a foreign
object, or if the machine begins to make an
unusual noise or vibrates excessively, immedi-
ately shut off the engine. Allow the cutting disk
to come to a complete stop. Switch the engine to
"off" to avoid any accidental start. Then perform
the following steps:
Routine inspection of the knives for sharpness and wear
plate for a sharp edge will ensure that your wood chipper
is operating at full efficiency. Using dull knives or a round-
ed wear plate will decrease performance and cause
excessive vibration that will damage the machine and
make chipping difficult for the operator.
