PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
Problem Cause Solution
The shredder does not
perform properly: the
wood is not pulled in
by the machine itself.
The chips do not have
the same size.
-The blades are worn too
much
-The diameter of the
branches inserted into
the machine is too large
-There is too big a gap
betweenthexedblade
and the counter blade:
correct gap is 0.5 mm
(halfamillimetre)
-Change or sharpen the blades
and counter-blade. Note that the
blades are sharpened on both
edges so they can be reversed.
-Shut the engine off and remove
the branch that is too thick
-Adjustthegapbetweentheblade
and the counter-blade by moving
the counter-blade in the slots
The engine does not
start/ the engine shuts
off by itself
-Electrical problem with
the engine
-No fuel
-No or not enough oil in
theengine(theoilshould
be level with the threads
ofthellerhole.)
Check that
-Theinputtubeiscorrectlytted
and the bolts are tight
-Put the start-switch of the engine
“On”
-De-activate the emergency switch
(turntheknob)
-Check oil and fuel levels
-Contact your dealer
Important : Tighten the blade bolts

the blades on the rotor and 40Nm
for the counter blade. Fix with
Loctite 243.
Therotorjams
The engine will not
start/turn because the
rotorisjammed.
-the diameter of the
branch is too big
-there are unacceptable
materials such as stones
or metal in the input tube
-a length of branch
remains in the rotor
after the engine was last
stopped.
-shut off the engine, remove the
spark plug cap and turn the
rotorcounter-clock-wise.Usea
wooden stick to turn the rotor and
to remove the material from the
rotor and input tube.
If necessary, remove the cap of
the bearing housing and rotate the
rotor axle with a spanner.
If necessary, remove the input or
output tube to facilitate access to
the rotor.
Check the sharpeness of the
blades and counter blade and
replace them if necessary.
Important: Tighten the blade bolts

4. Transport
Before moving the machine, stop the engine!
MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
All technical check-ups and maintenance should be done with the
engine shut off and the spark plug cap removed from the spark
plug.
While cleaning the shredder, never spray the bearings with a high
pressure washer! It could cause water to enter the bearings which

Before putting the shredder into storage grease or oil the bearings,
blades and rotor to protect against corrosion.
For engine maintenance refer to the Engine Manufacturers Engine
