Wood Chipper Assembly Manual
Circle G Tractor Sales, Inc.
Before you begin, you will need a set of metric sockets or
wrenches, allen wrenches, and a way to lift the chipper body
(appr. 800 lbs).
Step 1:
Assemble the base or box for chipper to sit on.
Step 2.
Lower chipper body onto the stand and bolt in place. Be sure
half moon cut out on stand is on same side as PTO shaft and
pulley.
Make sure the infeed drum is centered in the infeed shute, if it
is not remove the two yellow covers over the infeed shaft and
drum, there are two set screws in each bearing on each end of
infeed drum, loosen and move drum to center of shute. You
may have to remove the short infeed driveshaft with spring
around it in order to line properly, then replace.
Check the clearance between the bed blade (blade located
under the infeed drum with 3 allen wrench head screws) and
the blade on flywheel, it should be between 0.10 to 0.30
clearance between bed blade and chipper blade. A automotive
feeler guage is a good guage for this. This is the way to adjust
your chip size, if you have it too wide it will cause chips to be
too large causing a clogging problem.
Step 3.
Attach in-feed hopper to chipper using brackets and bolts
provided.
Step 4:
Attach kick stand for support.
Step 5.
Attach discharge pipe at top of flywheel housing using the bolts
provided.
Step 6.Attach dis-engagement mechanism. (yellow tubing and
bar)
Step 7.
Attach the black lift handle for the feed roller.
Step 8.
Follow the prep checklist also included with chipper.
