Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: After each use, thoroughly clean the wood chipper to remove any debris, wood chips, sap, and dirt. Use a brush, compressed air, or a clean cloth to wipe down the chipper blades, chute, and engine area. Avoid using water on electrical components.

• Inspect and Sharpen the Blades: Check the chipper blades regularly for wear, nicks, or dullness. A sharp blade ensures optimal cutting efficiency. If the blades are dull, sharpen them as needed, or replace them if severely damaged. Always ensure the blades are aligned correctly.

• Change Engine Oil: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for oil changes (usually after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours or annually). Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and prevent overheating.

• Check Hydraulic Fluid: Inspect the hydraulic fluid levels before each use and ensure the fluid is clean and free of contaminants. Low or dirty hydraulic fluid can hinder the chipper’s performance. Replace or top off the fluid as necessary and check for leaks.

• Inspect the Air Filter: A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance and fuel efficiency. Check the air filter regularly for dirt and debris. Clean or replace the filter as needed to ensure proper airflow to the engine.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Lubricate all moving parts such as the chipper's pivot points, wheels, and bearings. Use the recommended lubricant to minimize wear and ensure smooth operation of the components.

• Inspect Belts and Pulleys: Regularly check the belts and pulleys for wear, cracks, or fraying. Tighten any loose belts and replace damaged ones to ensure smooth and safe operation of the machine.

• Check the Fuel System: Inspect the fuel tank, fuel lines, and filter for cracks or leaks. If the chipper is going to be stored for an extended period, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it’s empty to prevent fuel system problems.

• Tire and Wheel Inspection: Inspect the tires for proper inflation and general condition. Ensure the wheels are in good working order for easy transport. Replace any damaged or flat tires immediately to prevent accidents during movement.

• Check for Loose Bolts and Fasteners: Inspect the entire machine for any loose bolts, nuts, or screws. Tighten any that are loose to prevent parts from vibrating or coming loose during operation. Focus on areas like the chipper blades, engine mount, and wheels.

• Store Properly: Store the chipper in a dry, sheltered location, away from rain and moisture. Use a cover to protect the machine from dust, debris, and weather when not in use. If storing for a long period, drain the fuel tank, change the oil, and clean the unit thoroughly.

• Winterize the Chipper: Before long-term storage, especially during winter, change the engine oil, top off the hydraulic fluid, and add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel degradation. Run the engine to circulate the stabilizer and ensure all components are lubricated.
