RAPID-FEED™ CHIPPER
To Free a Jammed Flywheel
Tools Needed:
Two 1/2" Wrenches
Disassemble:
1. Disconnect the battery at the negative terminal.
2. Remove any material left in the Chipper Hopper.
3. Remove the two Bolts and Locknuts that secure the
Discharge Chute to the Chipper Basic Assembly with
two 1/2" wrenches and then remove the Discharge
Chute (Figure 23).
4. Check to see if the Discharge Chute or Discharge
opening is clogged. If it is, clear it with a branch.
5. With a wooden stick, loosen and remove any material
left in the Chipping Chamber and make sure the
Flywheel turns freely with the stick.
Reassemble:
1. Position the Discharge Chute onto the Chipper Basic Assembly and secure with two Bolts and
Locknuts using two 1/2" wrenches.
2. Reconnect the battery negative terminal cable, the spark plug wire and start the Chipper engine;
allowing the remaining material in the Chipping Chamber to discharge.
3. If the Chipping Chamber doesn’t clear and the flywheel is still jammed, repeat above process.
NOTE: Be certain the Chipping Chamber is clear before trying to process more material into the Chipper
Hopper.
