MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE
5. When you install the new DK2 POWER OEM blade, the clearance between the blade and
wear plate must be checked and set. This clearance or gap should be set to 1/16".
6. To adjust this clearance, loosen the four nuts and bolts holding the wear plate in place. The
wear plate can be slid up or down (in or out) to achieve the correct gap setting.
7. Take the blade gauge and slide between the blade and
wear plate. If the gap is set correctly, the blade gauge
will lightly touch both the blade and wear plate. If the
gap is too small, you will not be able to get the gauge
between the blade and wear plate. If the gap is too
large, there will be excess room between blade gauge,
blade and wear plate. Tighten the nuts and bolts when
the wear plate is in the correct position. Be certain the
flywheel rotates without hitting anything before starting
the chipper.
8. If the gap between the wear plate and the blade is not
set correctly, you will have excessive vibration when
chipping and the blade will seem to be dull. This should
be checked every 8-10 hours of operation.
9. If at any time it becomes necessary to disassemble the
chipper for repairs, the chipper disk must be re-installed in exactly the same position on the
rotor shaft.
NOTE: Proper gap setting is critical to the proper operation of your machine.
