Blade Care- Shredder Blade
wARNING: The shredder blade is sharp. Wear leather work gloves to protect your
hands.
1. Stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
2. Remove the two nylon hex. nuts and hex bolts (A) Fig.15 which secure the hopper
support bracket (B) to the impeller housing (C).
3. Pivot the shredder screen (E) Fig.12 upward as instructed in the section Cleaning
the Reduction Chamber.
4. Remove six nylon hex. nuts (A) Fig.16 which secure the hopper inlet guide (B) to
impeller housing (C).
5. Carefully separate the hopper assembly from the impeller housing and set it aside.
6. Insert a piece of wood into the chute deflector opening as shown in Fig.17 to
bilize the impeller (A) and prevent it from rotating when removing the shredder
blade (B).
7. Remove the two allen flat head screws, spring washers and nylon hex. nuts (C)
which secure the shredder blade to the impeller.
8. Remove the hex bolt, lock washer, and washer (D) to completely free shredder
blade.
IMPORTANT: If sharpening the blade for reuse, follow the original angle of grind as
a guide. Make certain each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to
prevent an unbalanced blade. Remove metal from the heavy side until it is balanced
evenly.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling the blade, tighten center hex. bolt (D) Fig.17 to
between 45 ft.-lbs and 58 ft.-lbs and the two two allen flat head screws to between
20 ft.-lbs and 25 ft.-lbs.
Engine Storage & Maintenance
If you plan on storing your chipper/shredder for an extended period of time, the
following steps should be followed;
1. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.
2. Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel
system. NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from
the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and
causing possible malfunction of the engine. To drain gasoline;
3. Turn fuel shut-off valve (A) Fig.18 to the "OFF" position.
4. Position a drain pan under the caburetor.
5. Remove drain hex. bolt (B) Fig.18 from the carburetor (C) and drain the fuel from
the carburetor and hose.
6. Turn fuel shut-off valve (A) to the "ON" position.
7. Drain fuel from tank.
8. Reinstall the carburetor drain hex. bolt once the fuel is completely drained.
9. Drain engine oil from engine.
10. Gently pull the recoil starter handle to distribute oil into the cylinder, pull until
resistance is felt.
11. Cover and store in a dry, well ventilated area.
Note: To prevent corrosion or moisture build-up during storage, do not cover the
engine with a poly-bag or similar material.
