Mechanical Adjustments - Champion P5-24 Installation/Operation Manual With Service Replacement Parts

1. Refer to the illustrations below and check the clearance between the stationary cutter blocks
and rotating cutter blades.
2. Slowly rotate the cutting disk to make sure that the rotating blades do not hit any of the blocks.
3. Using a feeler gauge, adjust each stationary block between a minimum clearance of .010-.015"
and a maximum clearance of .020-.060". A close clearance produces a finer waste cut.
4. In the event that the cutting blades have burrs on the cutting side of the blade, then remove
them with a metal file. File outward toward the cutting block and dress the blade with fine grit
metal oxide sandpaper if necessary.
5. Securely tighten all fasteners and recheck the clearances to ensure that the clearances are
maintained.
