SERVICING THE CHIPPER/
SHREDDER
General
The following information will help you make the
necessary checks and perform the procedures required
to follow the normal care recommendations made for
your chipper/shredder unit.
If you prefer your local authorized dealer can make
these checks and perform the required procedures for
you.
Loose Parts and Hardware
Check the following areas, and tighten as required:
1. Chipper Cone & Cone Mounting
2. Shredder Hopper
3. Rotor Housing
4. Deflector Shield
Inspect/Rotate Shredding Hammers
The patented shredding hammers on this line of this
chipper/shredder can be easily rotated to provide new
cutting surfaces as required.
Triangular hammers can be rotated twice, then flipped
over for a total of six sharp new leading edges. “J”
hammers on the Beaver Express 6hp can be flipped
over once, for a total of two sharp, new leading edges.
If the shredding action of the unit seems sluggish, or
you notice that shredded material is not shredded as
thoroughly as when the unit was new, the shredding
hammers may need to be rotated or replaced.
Rotating the shredder hammers requires the following
major steps:
1.Removal of the shredder hopper.
2.Removal of the rotor housing.
