BWC-040, BWC-040EC, BWC-060 Wood Chipper
Feeding
The BWC may be available in either gravity or hydraulically feed.
Danger: If gravity feed be careful not to reach into the feed hopper further than the curtain. To
reach further, use a stick or branch to push any material into the disc that does not go in on its own. To
begin operations, slowly slide the material to be chipped into the hopper. Allow it to feed on its own
without excreting much pressure.
Plugging
If plugging occurs, following these procedures:
Stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop
•
before unplugging.
Pull the material out of the feed hopper. Be sure all the material is cleaned out and nothing is
•
jammed or wedged between the input opening and the rotor.
Pull the material out of the discharge hood. Use a stick to loosen any material jammed into the dis-
•
charge hood. Do not allow anything to remain in this area.
If severe plugging occurs:
Danger: Ensure the engine is off and you have pocked the key to prevent unintentional
startup.
Loosen the feed hopper anchor nuts and raise the feed hopper. Remove material from inside the
•
rotor compartment.
Clean out the discharge area/rotor.
•
Open the rotor cover and clean out the housing. Be sure to turn the rotor by hand to be sure there
•
is nothing jammed be- tween the rotor and stationary blades.
Close, install and fold down all components opened to unplug. Tighten fasteners to their specified
•
torque.
Check that everyone is clear of machine before restarting engine.
•
Start the engine, engage the PTO and resume working.
•
Sharpening Blades:
The rotor blades and anvil need to be sharp for the chipper to perform as expected. It is recommended that the
rotor blades be removed from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen the blades at a 45° angle to provide
the best cutting effect as it meets the anvil. Be sure to tighten the blade mounting bolts to their specified torque
when re-installing the blades to the rotor.
