    Frontier Chippers are designed to chip natural, untreated wood only. Materials that are processed may contain chemicals or by-products that could corrode the machine, damage the blades, or spon- taneously combust. Frontier Equipment will not cover under warranty any chipper that has been used for anything besides natural wood.
  • Page 6 SAFETY Do not operate this machine until this manual has been read and fully understood; serious injury or death can occur if these safety warnings are ignored!

  • Page 11: Chip Chute Adjustments

    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.

Deflector The chip deflector easily adjusts to regulate the distance that the chips are thrown.
  • Page 12: Belt Tension

    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.
  • Page 13: Knives

    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.
  • Page 14: Bearings

    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.
