MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of your trailer
It is always good practice to check your trailer
before taking each trip down the road. A round
visual inspection is a good starter to detect
anomalies such as punctured tires, foreign debris on
the trailer, open casings, tools any other material
not braced to the frame and/or prepared for
transport.
We have compiled a short list of things to check for
in the following intervals.
Before each trip:
 Check for tire pressure, tire treads for
punctures and bulges.
 Check that lightning accessories and trailer
cable connection are working properly.
 Ensure that the coupler is working properly
and the safety pin (not provided) is in
working order.
Every 3 months or 1,000 miles:
 When trailer is new please check lug bolt
torque every 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles and
250 miles. Then you can check every 3
months or 3,000 miles.
 Check the lug bolts (wheel) and nuts.
Always tighten to recommended torque. It is
important to check for lug bolt torque to
prevent broken bolts, bearing failure, loose
wheels, and possible wheel separation.
Every 6 months or 6,000 miles:
 Check the wheels for cracks or dents.
 Check the hub assembly for abnormal
wear, heat load, regrease if necessary.
 Check wheel bearings for wear
 Check hub seals; inspect for leakages.
Replace if worn.
 Check spindle nut torque values.
Maintenance of your chipper
A proper maintenance of your chipper will ensure a
good reliability of the equipment and for the
chipper to deliver its maximum performance at the
job site.
Recommendations:
 Always use protective equipment such as
goggles and gloves when performing
maintenance service on the equipment.
 Disconnect positive terminal of the battery
before attempting any work on the chipper.
 All settings (blade, anvil, etc.) should be
checked at least once before each use.
 The warranty on this wood chipper, does
not cover items that have been
subjected to wear. The warranty on this
chipper will be void if there is evidence of
misuse or negligence from the operator.
 Periodically check all bolts, pins, etc.
Lubrication
Lubricate the bearings on the main rotor every 50
hours of operation.
The are two small deep groove ball bearings inside
the idler pulley that are sealed and don’t need re-
greasing. To replace when old, please call us to
reorder the items.
Fuel and exhaust gases control
Coupled to the fuel system, is a fuel vapor filter that
collects vapors and prevents them from harming
the environment (CARB requirement). This filter is
sealed and does not need maintenance. To
replace, please call us.
Please check fuel hose connections and replace
the fuel filter every 200 hours.

Resharpening of the blade
The blade is fabricated from super durable and
wear resistant A8 steel. They are reversible blades,
meaning both sides are available for work.
We recommend you resharpen the blades when
the edge goes dull, you will see the machine will
have a harder time chipping material and the
engine will stall quicker.
Check the edge of the blades regularly. The edge
