ANVIL ADJUSTMENT AND REPLACEMENT
1. The chipper utilizes a single anvil with 3 hold-down bolts. The anvil (View 1, Item
F)
is located below the
intake hopper. To removeanvil, ensurethe disc has cometo a full stop and removethe bolts.
e
WARNING:
Disc may contain latent residual energy and suddenly turn or rotate further to
cause serious injuryto fingers.
WARNING:
Disengagebelts and removespark plug leads.
CAUTION:
If the anvil has been removed, all dirt and debris under anvil must be removed to
A
achieve proper anvil setting and tightness.
WARNING:
Dothis operation with extremecaution as knivesare razor sharp.
2. The anvil has four (4) usable edges. When edge is worn, rotate anvil until all four (4) edges are worn.
Replaceanvil after fourth rotation.
3. When checking clearance between knife edge and anvil, as shown in View 1, page
8;
use knife gauge
for adjustment between E
&
F (View 1). For best chipping action, have between 3mm clearance on the
outer edge and 1mm clearanceon the inner edge. (refertoView 2)
4. When proper clearance is obtained, tighten all bolts securely. Tighten the middle bolt FIRST. Tighten
remainingbolts. This will ensure even pressureon all anvil bolts.
5. Before starting machine, always manually rotate disc for several revolutions and check for proper
setting, clearance and adjustment.
6.
If the gap between anvil and knife is excessive, you will have vibration when chipping. The blade will
seem to bedull and metalfatigue mayoccur. If the gap is to small, the blade may strike the anvil.
7.
Always maintain knives in a perfect set, both in dimension and weight.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS TEST-RUN CHIPPER FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER KNIVES HAVE
BEEN CHANGED. THEN RECHECK FOR KNIFE TIGHTNESS BEFORE RESUMING CHIPPER
/i\
OPERATION. ALWAYS CHECK TIGHTNESS OF BOLTS BEFORESTARTING UNIT.
WARNING:
Turn engine off. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. De-energizethe starting
system on enginesequipped with Touch-N-Mow@starters.
WlRE ROUTING:
Route the wire with existing equipment wire harness or wrap around and tape to metal
supports. After connections are made, wrap upany excesswire and tape.
CAUTION:
Keep all wires clear of extremely hot engine parts, such as exhaust area, and keep
clear of any rotating parts. Cuts or burns to the wires can cause a short and the Maintenance
Minder will stop working.
RED WlRE INSTALLKI'ION:
Wrap around an insulatedsection of spark plug wire 3-4 times, as shown.
DO NOT
wrap the wire too close towhere the spark plug and wire connect, vibration may cause it to come
in contact with the metal portion of the spark plug.
WHITE WlRE INSTALLATION:
Attach using a bolt from the engine frame or blower. Loosen the bolt and
slip the solder lug between engineand bolt. Tighten bolt.
MAINTENANCE MINDER INSTALLATION:
Maintenance Minder should be installed in a location which is
easily viewable and is free of dirt, greaseand oil.
OPERATION:
The display holds 5 digits, and is initially set to zero, 0000.0.
Once the engine is started, the meter will record running time in tenths of
an hour. Example: If the engine ran for
6
minutes (1110 hour) the
MaintenanceMinder will display 0.1.
After 25 hours, or increments of 25 hours, (eg. 25, 50, 75, etc.) of running
time the display will flash on and off. Press the reset button with a pointed
object, to stop the display from flashing. When the display reaches a count
of
9999.9,
it will reset back to0000.0 and start over.
