Remove cover from infeed roller drive axle.
Fill gear box with 90W gear oil until level with red dot through site window.
Approximately 4-6oz. Sometimes oil will not show in window until machine has
been used for a while. [fig. 18]
*This step has been completed for your
machine prior to leaving the WoodMaxx Warehouse.
Check and adjust tension on belt that drives gear box. It should be tight so that
when belt is squeezed by hand – belt does not touch itself. [fig. 19]
Make adjustments by loosening 4 bolts that hold gear box assembly (16mm).
Turn adjustment screws until belt is tight. [fig. 20] [fig. 21]
Tighten all 4 bolts on gear box assembly (16mm).
Lubricate infeed roller drive shaft and clutch assembly with a high quality spray
Lithium grease. Be careful NOT to spray grease on pulleys and belt.
Connect chipper to tractor using 3 pt hitch.
Reattach drive belt cover.
Attach PTO shaft from tractor to chipper. If shaft is too short, adjust 3 pt hitch
arms on chipper. If shaft is too long, refer to Drive-Line Fitting Adjustments in
the operation manual.
It is very important to attach the PTO shaft while both
spline from chipper and the spline from tractor are horizontal and in line with
each other. [fig. 23] [fig. 24]
(Note: if you attach the PTO shaft while spline
from chipper is lower than the tractor spline, you could damage the chipper.
When you raise the chipper for transport, the shaft will compress and bind.)
