Section 3: Adjustments
e. Refer to Figure 3-5: Check gap between selected
rotor knife (#4) and ledger
knife (#5). The gap should be between 1/32" and
1/16" and should be equal distance along the full
length of the ledger knife.
f. If gap is smaller than 1/32" or larger than 1/16",
then readjust the ledger knife. See "Adjust
Ledger Knife" on page 27 for detailed
instructions.
6. Manually rotate rotor (#2) one full turn to recheck all
rotor knives (#4). Make sure all rotor knives do not
come in contact with the ledger knife (#5). If any rotor
knife makes contact with the ledger knife, then
readjust ledger knife to clear that rotor knife by
1/32" to 1/16".
7.
Remove any tool or loose component that may have
collected inside the rotor housing.
8. Rotate upper rotor housing (#11) closed and secure
with 1/2"-13 x 1 1/4" GR 8 flange serrated bolt (#4).
Tighten serrated bolt to the correct torque.
Refer to Figure 3-4 on page 26:
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Keep yourself and others clear of the feed chute hinged area
while rotating the feed chute down. Body parts can be pinched
or severed.
9. If removed, reattach feed chute (#7) to lower frame
with 1/2" x 1" bolts (#8) and locknuts (#9). Draw
locknuts up snug and then back off one-half turn.
10. Secure feed chute (#7) with two 1/2"-13 hex whiz
nuts (#6). Tighten hex whiz nuts to the correct torque.
11. Connect driveline to the tractor power take-off shaft.

Refer to Figure 3-5 & Figure 3-4 on page 26:
See "Check Ledger Knife Clearance" on page 26 to
determine if gap between knife and knife ledger is OK.
If gap between knife and knife ledger is not OK, then
adjust knife ledger as follows:
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Ledger bolts must be tightened to the correct torque value. Not
doing so can damage the chipper and cause bodily injury.
Torque values for the ledger bolts are provided under
"Additional Torque Values" on page 38.
NOTE: Credit card can be used to set gap.
Tolerances in manufacturing vary due to weld pull.
Set closest rotor knife to ledger with 1/32" shim and
lock ledger in place. Rotate rotor and check all other
rotor knives for clearance.
1.
Loosen hex bolts (#3).
2. Place 1/32" to 1/16" shim between knife edge and
knife ledger. Do not exceed 1/16" gap.
3. Adjust knife ledger against the shim. Hold ledger in
this position to tighten bolts (#3) in step 4 below.
4. Tighten GR8 Ledger bolts (#3) to 35-40 ft-lbs. See
"Additional Torque Values" on page 38.
5. Continue with step 6 under "Check Ledger Knife
Clearance" on page 26.

BE BETWEEN
1/32
