If your Wallenstein Paper Shredder requires excessive power or the engine stalls, it could be due to several reasons. First, check and clear the discharge chute if it's obstructed. Reduce the amount of material you are feeding into the chipper and/or shredder hoppers, or if you are feeding material too quickly, feed larger material slowly into the chipper hopper. Also, inspect and clear the chipper infeed hopper, lower rotor housing, and rotor if they are plugged. If you're processing green material that isn't discharging, wait for it to dry or alternate between dry and wet material. Finally, ensure the ledger knife clearance is correctly set and that the rotor knives, ledger knife, or shredder knives are sharp; rotate, sharpen, or replace them if necessary.
