2. NEVER let anyone under the age of 18 operate the machine.
3. Be sure to check engine oil daily.
4. Be sure to grease the machine once a day.
5. Start the engine and let it run at idle for a few minutes to warm-up.
6. When the chipper will no longer pull wood in by itself, the blades need to be
sharpened.
SHARPENING
1. Remove the spark plug wire and turn the on-off switch to off.
2. Remove the infeed hopper, three (3) bolts.
3. Pull the rope slowly till the chip blade is in the window.
4. Remove the screws holding the blades onto the impeller.
5. Sharpen or replace the blades. We suggest replacing the screws each time you re-install blades.
6. Be sure to clean the mounting surface and make sure that the blade fits right onto
the impeller.
7. Use Locktite when replacing blades. Salsco uses Locktite, Blue 242, Removable at the factory.
8. After the blades are sharpened or replaced, the bed knife should be checked.
9. Loosen the bed knife bolts. Install the infeed hopper.
10. Rotate the impeller by pulling the rope till the chip blades passes the bed knife.
11. Set the clearance to approximately 3/16" by sliding the bed knife in or out to obtain
this dimension.
NOTE:
The closer the bed knife to the blade, the slower the machine will feed. The greater the gap, the faster
it will feed.
When you finish, double-check the following:
1. Clearance of both chip blades to bed knife.
2. Tightness of bed knife bolts and chip blade bolts.
3. Hopper is bolted back on and bolts are tightened.
