Adjustment

Nuts

The chipping blades should clear the anvil by 1/16 inch to

1/8 inch. Check the clearance every 8 hours of operation

and adjust if needed. The chipping anvil is reversible. All

four sides of the anvil can be used for chipping.
To adjust the anvil:

The condition of the hydraulic drive belt should be checked

annually, or after every 25 hours of operation. Replace

the belt if it is cracked, worn, frayed, or stretched.
to replace the belt:

Proper belt tension is a deflection of 7/16" for a 20 lb. load

The diesel engine is tested before shipping. In order to test

the equipment the fluid levels are filled. However, before

starting the machine, and every time the engine is started

thereafter, be sure to check the coolant level. If the level

is low, add fluid.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for coolant information

and maintenance.
