13. Never stop paying attention to the chipper
while in operation. If you need to check for
something on the chipper or outside the chipping
area, throttle down engine until clutch is
disengaged, allow rotor to come to a full stop and
turn off the chipper.
TRAIN YOURSELF ON THE TRAILER
1. Always comply with the law regarding towing,
lightning and stowing of the equipment before
going on the road.
2. All trailer nuts are safety hex nut, that is, they are
fitted with a nylon seal that prevents the nut from
getting loose on time. If for any reason you must
loosen one of these nuts, please make sure you
replace with a new safety hex nut (commonly
available) as the old nylon seal is no longer reliable
to hold the nut in place.
3. Make sure to check lightning, all side marker
lights, license plate light, tail and stop/turn lights.
4. Always maintain a good tire pressure per
manufacturer specifications.
5. Always make sure the trailer jack is properly
stowed before moving.
6. Always check coupler setup and make sure the
safety tow chain is properly secured on the trailer
and the truck before moving.
7. Always make sure that the trailer is riding in level
with the road. Never tow at extreme angles.
8. Avoid towing in inclement weather unless really
necessary.
9. Always plan your trip beforehand. Make sure that
the trailer will go through tight access ways.
10. Check periodically the wheel inner bearing
lubrication, particularly on long travel services. Pay
attention if the wheels are getting abnormally hot.
11. When driving always maintain a proper speed;
and save your distance from the car upfront.
Sudden and hard braking may make your trailer
skid sideways.
Preparations checklist before chipping
1. Carefully inspect the area where the equipment
will be used.
2. Protect your eyes, always use safety
glasses while operating this machine.
Otherwise, objects thrown that bounce can
seriously injure your sight.
3. Use ear protection. This will protect you from the
engine noise and noise produced by the chipper
when you feed the material into the hopper.
4. Use work gloves with palm of leather or industrial
grade cotton/rubber when you feed the material
into the hopper. Before you turn on the
machine, check all bolts and accessories to
ensure that the machine is in safe operating
condition.
5. Perform a visual inspection of the machine in
frequent intervals to check whether the chipper has
suffered any important damage resulting from
operation.
6. Maintain and replace the safety labels and
instructions as necessary.
7. Make sure the discharge is directed at a safe
discharge zone such as truck bed, or forest greens,
or any other appropiate area away from
bystanders.
Safe Handling of Fuel
To avoid personal injury or property damage, be
very careful when handling fuel. The fuel that is
used, - gasoline- is highly flammable and the vapors
are explosive. You can be seriously injured if fuel is
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can
ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.
1.Use only containers approved for Gasoline or
Diesel .
2. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or truck.
Always place containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before refilling.
3 . Keep the nozzle in contact with the lip of the
inlet to the engine's fuel tank or container at
all times until it is full at recommended fuel tank or
engine manufacturer specifications.
4 . No smoking should take place close to the
chipper. Turn off all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
5. Never refuel the machine indoors or just after
operation. Please wait 2 minutes before refueling.
6. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is hot or running . Allow engine to cool at
least two minutes before re- fueling .
7. Never overfill the fuel tank . Fill tank to no more
than 1/ 2 inch below the base of the neck of the
thread to allow room for fuel expansion.
8. Place the fuel cap back on and tighten securely .
9. Clean up spilled fuel on the engine and
equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5
minutes before starting the engine.
10. The carbon vapor filter located besides the tank
contains the fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. This is required per CARB regulations.
This component is sealed and does not need any
maintenance.
Operating your Wood Chipper
1.Check the oil and fuel level before starting the
engine.
2 . Do not put hands near rotating parts or
power inputs . Contact with the chipper and
rotating parts –while in operation- can seriously
damage fingers, hands .
3. Before operating the machine , open it. Check
and clean the rotor of foreign debris
objects , make sure the cutting chamber is empty
and free of any foreign material.
4 . Thoroughly inspect all material to to be chipped
and remove any foreign objects - such as nails,
glass, steel wire, etc- that could cause injury to
you or damage the machine.
5 . Do not attempt to chop material larger than
specified in this manual. Puts you at risk of injury or
damaging the chipper.
6. Keep all guards and safety elements in place
and in good condition.
7. Do not operate this machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
8. Never operate this machine without good
visibility or light .
9. If the engine is hot, do not touch as it may cause
severe burns.
10. Do not attempt to move the chipper while the
engine is running .
11. never overreach over the hopper to clear a
branch with your hands. User another branch stick
instead. NEVER reach your hands past the guard
point.
12. When chipping, if for some reason the branch
gets stuck in the feed chute and rotor is held in
position, quickly throttle down the engine to
disengage the clutch.
13. To clear the branch, make sure to shut engine
off and that rotor is at a completely still. Open the
top half and attempt to clear the branch from the
feed opening.
14. Never feed the chipper anything else other than
wood. This chipper is designed to withstand impact
frequency of dry and green wood material
including leaves.
15. Always check on your blade sharpness, this is
crucial to an optimum performance.
Maintenance and Storage
1.Never tamper with the safety components. Check
periodically that they are functioning properly.
2 . Make sure all screws, bolts , pins and cotter
pins are in good condition to make sure the
machine is in safe operating condition . Also ,
visually inspect the chipper to check for damages
and determine if repair is necessary.
3. Lubricate bearings as often as maintenance
chart indicates(found below) to avoid wear ; it also
protects from corrosion and reduces heat stress
thus extending their operating life.
4. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting
the chipper, stop the engine and check that all
moving parts have stopped.
5 . Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the same. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

9. Allow machine to cool at least 10 minutes before
storing after shutting it down.
10. Always refer to the engine manual for proper
instructions for off-season engine storage.
11. If you need to empty the fuel tank, do it
outdoors and away from possible spark sources.
12. Observe the local rules for proper disposal laws
for oil, fuel and greased towels.
ASSEMBLY OF THE UNIT
Tools needed for the assembly of this unit:
1- Rubber mallet
1- Hammer with nail remover
2- 7/16” hex wrench
2- ½” hex wrench
2- 9/16” hex wrench
1- 11/16” hex socket
1- 3/8” hex socket
1- pliers
1- ratchet drive
1- ratchet extension
1- small scissor jack & small wood blocks
Step 1 Lifting cage out
With the 3/8” hex socket loosen the 4 screws
attaching the cage to the pallet. You can also do
this with a 3/8” hex wrench.
Make sure you have another person to help you lift
the cage up as it is too big for one person only.
Step 2 Take apart components from the pallet.
Please take out of the packaging all components
strapped with stretch wrap such as wheels, trailer
tongue, feed hopper, etc. Make sure to remove
step blocks that hold the axle in place with a
hammer (use the nail remover side).
Step 3 Wheel assembly
With the help of scissor jack, place the jack
underneath the trailer close to one of the wheel
hubs. Raise the trailer high enough fo the wheel to
fit. If needed, you may increase lifting height by
adding a small wood block below the jack first.
Below is a guiding illustration. Chock the assembled
wheel when inserting the other wheel.
Do not attempt to lift the unit by yourself or
someone else, please bear in mind most of the
chipper weight, more than 700lbs, is placed over
the wheel shafts.
Once height has been reached insert wheel into
the wheel hub. Attach the wheel with the wheel
lugs. Do not tighten with drive until the unit has both
wheels fitted and the trailer is resting on the floor.
Wheel nuts must be tightened in stages. Begin
tightening by hand to prevent cross threading. Then
torque each lug nut to 20-25 ft-lbs, and then torque
to 50-60 lbs-ft. Finally, torque the lug nuts to 90-120ft-
lbs.
Tigthening
Sequence:
Step 4 Tongue assembly
Remove first the front step block that secures the
front of the chipper with a hammer (use the nail
remover side).
With the help of a another person attempt to lift the
fron of the chipper high enough to place some
wood blocks underneath. Attempt to position the
jack and lift. Make sure the jack is not blocking the
area where the tongue will be assembled. See pic
below.

With the help of another person, position the
tongue and insert fasteners (from the top down).
Insert flat washer and then safety hex nut. Tighten.
Step 5 Trailer Jack assembly
With the help of another person, position the
tongue and insert fasteners (from the top down).
Insert flat washer and the safety hex nut. Tighten.
Step 6 Feed Hopper Assembly
Hopper is already pre-assembled.
With the help of another person, position the feed
hopper into its transition-feed chute. Tighten.
Step 7 Discharge Chute Assembly
Please slide flange ring over the top neck of the
chipper. See pic above
With the help of another person, make sure to
position the discharge chute over the top neck of
the chipper correctly. Each position holding pin
must enter a hole on the top neck ring. Once this is
ready, you need to brace the chute with the
brackets below. Shown pic below.
You must tighten the brackets with the safety hex
nuts equally around the neck. You need to tighten
just enough to allow the neck to rotate while
reaching minimum play.
Tip: Grease the upper surface of the chipper neck
and the bottom ring of the discharge chute so the
discharge can rotate easier. These parts are
powder coated, they have good slipping between
surfaces, but they can get stuck under pressure.
Step 8 Connecting the battery
The only cable you need to connect to the battery
is the (+) positive one. It is generally a thick cable
(1/0 AWG) that runs from the positive terminal of the
battery to the starter motor of your engine.
To connect simply unscrew the bolt on the positive
end of the battery and place the connect as
shown on the picture below.
Slide the bolt and screw again. This connection
need to be made tight enough to ensure good
current transfer.
Step 9 Filling the engine with Oil.
In this section we give you general instructions for
for preparing your engine for starting. However it is
your responsibility to read the engine manual and
follow the instructions for preparing, starting,
operating and maintaining your engine.
Choosing the right oil in your engine depends much
on the type of climate you will be operating. For
better reference below is a detail of the oil type
required for the working temperature range that
the engine will endure.
Therefore, we recommend using synthetic 10W-30
oil as it will be the most versatile in different types of
climate.
Please refer to your engine manual for the
amount of oil required to fill up the engine.
(if chipper is fitted with a CH640 Kohler, this
engine tipically utilizes approx. 1.9 U.S quarts
on refills. When engine is new, you may
need to add more as the oil fills up the
crankcase.
To fill the engine with oil please open the top cap of
the overhead cylinder
Add oil through a funnel at a slow pace not to spill
over. Check frequently the oil level in the dipstick.
Do not overfill.
It is important you fill the engine with proper oil
level. A low oil level will prevent engine from
starting.
Step 10 Starting the engine
CAUTION: Do not crank engine continuously for
more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60
second cool down period between
starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out starter engine.
WARNING: Upon start-up, a metallic ticking may
occur. Run engine for 5 minutes. If
noise continues, run engine at mid-
throttle for 20 minutes. If noise persists,
take engine to your local Kohler
authorized dealer.
NOTE: If starter is engaged while fl ywheel is
rotating, starter pinion and fl ywheel ring
gear may clash resulting in damage to
starter.
Starting Procedure:
Place throttle control (if equipped) into idle
position. Place choke control (if equipped)
into ON position.
Turn key switch to START position. Release
switch as soon as engine starts. If starter
does not turn engine over, shut off key switch
immediately. Do not make further attempts to
start engine until condition is corrected. Do
not jump start. See your Kohler authorized
dealer for trouble analysis.
Once engine starts, we recommend allowing 5-7
minutes engine warmup. There is virtually no
external load on the engine, as the engine clutch is
disengaged at idle speed.
Step 11 Operating your wood chipper.
Once you have started the engine, at idle speed,
allow 5-7 minutes for warmup before increasing the
throttle.
Check everything is in place and that you have
completed your preparation checklist before
increasing throttle. Make sure you are utilizing
proper safety equipment.
Belt Break in
Break in of the belts to aim for maximum life and
avoid premature wear on the belts. The goal of belt
break-in is to allow some time for the belts to
properly wear and accommodate themselves to
the sheaves before applying maximum torque.
To do the belt break in, increase throttle slowly to
allow time for clutch enagement and belt break-in.
Once the rotor is gyrating and the clutch is
engaged (not slipping) keep increasing throttle up
to ¾ of the way. Please allow running the chipper
at this speed for two cycles of 20 mins each with a
cooling interval of 30 mins in between. When
slowing down the chipper, do so at a slow pace as
well.
Chipping
If chipping for the first time, it is important you start
knowing the chipper and increase your learning on
the equipment. We recommend you begin
chipping small branches and twigs and take it from
there to bigger sizes when you feel comfortable.
The chipper is able to cut branches up to 4.5”
inches in diameter. However chipping at 4.5”
requires that you feed the machine in smaller
branch pieces. This will depend on the wood
density, type of wood (softwood/hardwood) and if
green or dry.
Clutch/Engine stall
When chipping bigger or longer branches, these
will momentarily slow down the engine as the rotor
regains inertia. Sometimes, the branches will
exceed the chipper continuos chipping capacity
and take the engine RPM below the clutch
engagement speed. When this happens the rotor
will stop and the engine will get stuck at a particular
RPM (between 1800-2000RPM) where the clutch
begins to slip.
When this happens please move quickly the engine
throttle to idle position and then turn off the engine.
Open the chipper top, and try to dislodge the
branch from the blade or the opening until the rotor
is able to rotate freely.

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.
General Chipper Maintenance List
Lubricate rotor bearings…………..………50 hrs
Replace fuel filter…………………………..200 hrs
Replace engine oil filter…………………..200 hrs
Change engine oil….Annually or every 100 hrs
Replace engine air filter………………….100 hrs
Replace spark plugs and set gap……….500 hrs
Resharpen knives…….when dull or every 30 hrs
Check torque on fasteners…………every 3 months
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
of the blades are critical for optimum performance
of the chipper. It is recommended you resharpen
the blades with a precision angle grinder. You must
always follow the same edge angle and make sure
when resharpening, not to overheat the surface as
it will affect the hardness.
When reinstalling the blade we recommend you
adjust the gap between the blade and the anvil at
a minimum of 3/16”. You may adjust the anvil for
better cutting experience (shorter gao for
hardwoods, and larger gaps for softwoods or green
branches with leaves).
When reinstalling the blade make sure to tighten
the bolts to 57ft-lbs of torque.
When reinstalling the anvil make sure to tighten the
bolts to 25 ft-lbs of torque.
