After some time, usually clutches and pulleys tend to ‘stick’ to
the shaft in a way that you must use other resources other than
simply pulling. Best way is to use a claw pulley extractor. If you
do not have this tool, or do not know how to use it, you should
take the machine to a shop and let them do it for you.

Loosen the bolt in the belt guard, and also loosen up a bolt that
is located down below. Retire the cover and also make sure to
take off the cover’s axial support pipe (see Parts List section)
and screw bar. You can do that by inserting your hand in the
chamber and pulling in the screw bar.
Loose belt tension by turning the hex head in the shown
direction. Take belt off and check for cracks and wear; replace
if needed.
If you need to check or replace the centrifugal clutch, first
unscrew the two (2) socket set screws that are located in the
clutch’s outer face. A 1/8” Allen hex wrench required.

When removing the chipper from the crate, please do it so in the following way:

chips that could

Loosen the counter knife and place it in between the knife and
the rotor’s bore (where products comes out once cut). Tighten
again. This will help you to contain the rotor from rotating when
you apply torque to knife’s bolts when loosening and tightening
.
Check knives. Sharpen or replace if needed. When bolting
them on the rotor , make sure the blade is not touching the
axle’s center dish. If it does and you don’t notice it; it will cause
a continuous braking on the engine, diminishing chipping
power, causing friction and undesired results.
Once finished, reposition the counter knife. We suggest that
the opening between knives and the counter knife should be at
a maximum of 3/32” or 2.4 mm. Place side hopper on the base
again and tighten. When placing front cover, you MUST FIRST
insert the pin across the full sieve and then bolt the front cover,
otherwise it will be very difficult to insert the pin. Before starting
engine, pull the recoil a few times to see everything rotates
freely and it does not make any uncommon sounds. When
ready, put the spark plug on and start.

Now take apart the side hopper from machine. For this
operation you need one (1) 9/16” hex wrench. Loosen bolts
that are fastening the base with the hopper. Watch your hands,
try to use mechanic’s glove if available. Repeat operation at the
other side of the hopper.
Pull the hopper with two hands as described on the figure.
Locate it in a clean, safe place.
Loosen the counter knife and place it in between the knife and
the rotor’s bore (where products comes out once cut). Tighten
again. This will help you to contain the rotor from rotating when
you apply torque to knife’s bolts when loosening up.

You will need to use (2) two 9/16” hex wrench. Loosen side bolts
that are fastening the front cover against with the cutting chamber
lateral covers. You will need two wrenches because bolts tend to
slip when torque is applied to the nut and viceversa.
Take the hairpin off from the other side of the machine with
pliers and pull the pin that is holding the full sieve in place. You
must do this before you attempt to pull out the front cover.
Please note that the full sieve is attached by (3) three carriage
bolts to the front cover.
Make a slight aggressive pulling action to take the front cover
with the sieve. Take advantage of the moment to clean inside
parts and to check for any potential damage, check flails, for
strange debris, etc. Place front cover in safe place to avoid
hitting or damaging the part.
