4.2 MACHINE COMPONENTS The Wallenstein BX series wood chipper is designed for chipping wood in a fast and efficient manner. Major components of the BX base model chippers are illustrated here. Please review this section, many of the component descriptions here are used throughout the manual to explain function and safety. BX52S is illustrated, but is similar to all BXS series chippers. For a detailed parts breakdown, see your dealer or visit the Wallenstein website to download the Parts Manual.
4.3 MACHINE BREAK-IN Although there are no operational restrictions on the Wood Chipper when used for the first time, it is recommended that the following mechanical items be checked: A. After operating for 1 hour: 1. Ensure the machine is in Safe Condition before checking any components. (See Section 4.1.1). 2. Torque all fasteners and hardware. 3. Check condition of rotor bearings. 4. Check the condition and clearance of the twigbreaker, rotor and stationary blades. Adjust or replace as required. 5.
4.5 PTO DRIVELINE A PTO drive line is supplied with the machine. To accompany the variety of 3 point hitch geometry available today, the drive line can be too long for most machines or too short for others. It is very important that the drive line be free to telescope but not to bottom out when going through its working range. If the drive line bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time. 1.
4.6 ATTACH TO TRACTOR This section describes the 3 point hitch, PTO and attachments. The BX52S is a category I & II 3 point hitch and is quick hitch & imatch compatible.

7.1.4 SERVICE ILLUSTRATION See Service Record Chart (Section 7.1.6) This illustration shows the general location of service points for all models in this manual. On a regular basis check all nuts, bolts and screws and ensure they are all properly secured. Rotor blades: check daily, test sharpness every 50 hrs B A Twig Breaker: check every 8 hrs. 1 Ledger blade: check daily, test sharpness every 50 hrs WARNING Machine is shown with guard removed for illustrative purposes only.

7.1.6 SERVICE RECORD See Lubrication and Maintenance sections for details of service. Copy this page to continue record. 8 Hours or Daily 32 ach .
7.2 MAINTENANCE By following a careful service and maintenance program for your machine, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free operation. Put the machine in Safe Condition before working on this machine: • • • • • • disengage the PTO shut off the engine ensure all components have stopped moving remove and pocket the ignition key block & chock the wheels set rotor lock if required 7.2.
7.2.3 ROTOR LOCK PIN Rotor Lock Pin works on a pull, twist and release principle and is a simple and reliable spring pin used to secure the rotor from moving while the upper rotor housing is open. It is designed to only be able to be engaged when the rotor housing is open, the spring pin cannot be engaged when the rotor housing is closed. This feature prevents unintended use while in operation. The rotor lock pin should be used anytime the rotor housing is open to prevent potential injury.
7.2.5 ROTOR BLADES: The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the Chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspection is recommended. Keep the blades sharp to reduce the amount of power required during operation. Watch the sharpness of the blades when processing material with a lot of sand, soil or dirt mixed with it. Reverse or sharpen the blades if the cutting edge becomes dull. The rotor is equipped with 4 blades spaced evenly to keep the rotor in balance.
7.2.6 LEDGER BLADES: Each machine is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor blades. The ledger blade is located on the lower rotor housing, mounted on slotted holes for adjustment. There are 4 usable corners on the blade, when the corner facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade.
7.2.7 LEDGER BLADE ADJUSTING TOOL: The ledger blade is located on the lower rotor housing, mounted on slotted holes for adjustment. As the blade wears, it can be rotated or flipped to use a fresh corner. When the blade is moved, it must have its clearance settings adjusted to maintain its shearing efficiency. The best way to ensure you have the correct clearance is to use the Wallenstein Ledger Adjusting Tool.
8 TROUBLE SHOOTING The Wallenstein 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper is designed with blades on a rotor to cut, shear and chip wooden material. It is a simple and reliable system that requires minimal maintenance. In the following section, we have listed many of the problems, causes and solutions to the problems that you may encounter. If you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, even after having read through this trouble shooting section, please call your local distributor or dealer.
