INSPECTION AND SET-UP • Follow the instructions in the lubrication section of this manual to make sure the chipper is greased properly. The initial grease is applied at the factory, but a routine maintenance schedule is the user’s responsibility. • Check all bolts and nuts to make sure everything is tight.
OPERATION Startup • Place tractor transmission in neutral and set the parking brake, then turn the tractor engine off. • Connect the 3 pt. hitch linkages to the chipper and secure them with safety snap pins. • Adjust the top link so that the chipper sits level. •...
OPERATION Chip chute adjustments To position the chip chute, pull the locking handle (Figure 2) toward you to unlock. The chute conveniently rotates a full 360 degrees. Rotate it to the desired position and lock the handle. Be sure the handle is locked before transporting the chipper! Deflector The chip deflector easily adjusts to regulate the distance that the chips are thrown.
However, there is a slight adjustment by tightening or loosening the eye bolts, increasing or decreasing the spring tension. Replacing the belts Follow these steps to replace the drive belts. The WC1105 chipper uses (3) BX-58 belts. • Remove the idler springs to release the tension on the belts.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE Knives The performance of the chipper will depend largely on the condition of the knives. If the knives are dull or damaged you will create a lot of unnecessary stress on the whole machine. The knives are reversible and can easily be reversed or replaced by removing the two 3/8 bolts.
LUBRICATION Bearings The WC1105 chipper has four bearings. Figures 9 & 10 show the bearings on the input shaft where the PTO shaft attaches. These bearings should be greased lightly every 8 hours of use. Be sure to wipe all the dirt off of the fitting before greasing.
