3-point hitch self-feeding chipper

To Free a Jammed Flywheel

Disengage PTO, shut down the tractor engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, disconnect

the PTO shaft from the tractor, then wait 5 minutes before moving or performing maintenance/inspection on the chipper.

Never pry against the scroll weldment when removing the deflector or discharge chute, or at any other time. This will cause

damage to the machine.

Tools Needed:



Two 1/2" Wrenches

Disassemble:

1. Disconnect the PTO Shaft.

2. Remove any material left in the Chipper Hopper.

3. Remove the two Bolts and Locknuts that secure the Discharge Chute to the

Chipper Basic Assembly with two 1/2" wrenches and then remove the

Discharge Chute (Figure 25).

4. Check to see if the Discharge Chute or Discharge opening is clogged. If it is,

clear it with a branch.

5. With a wooden stick, loosen and remove any material left in the Chipping

Chamber and make sure the Flywheel turns freely with the stick.

Reassemble:

1. Position the Discharge Chute onto the Chipper Basic Assembly and secure

with two Bolts and Locknuts using two 1/2" wrenches.

2. Reconnect the PTO Shaft, start the Tractor engine and engage the PTO;

allowing the remaining material in the Chipping Chamber to discharge.

3. If the Chipping Chamber doesn't clear and the flywheel is still jammed,

repeat above process.

NOTE: Be certain the Flywheel turns freely before trying to process more material

into the Chipper Hopper.
