Sharpening Or Replacing The Shredder Blade

•Remove the two hairpin clips from each clevis pin which extend through the housing and remove the pins. See Figure 8.

•Remove the flail screen from inside the housing and clean the screen by scraping or washing with water.

•Reinstall the screen, making certain to reassemble the flail screen with the curve side down.

•Reattach the discharge chute with the hardware previously removed and connect the bag (if equipped) to unit.

Sharpening Or Replacing Chipper Blades

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine.

•Remove the flail screen as instructed in the previous section.

•Remove the chipper chute by removing three hex nuts and washers.

Models 463 or 465

•Remove the chipper chute support brace from the frame by removing the hex bolts.

All Models

•Rotate the impeller assembly by hand until you locate one of the two chipper blades in the chipper chute opening.

•Remove the blade using a 3/16” allen wrench on the outside of the blade and an adjustable wrench on the impeller assembly. See Figure 9.

•Rotate the impeller to expose other blade and remove in the same manner.

•Replace or sharpen blades.

•When sharpening the blade, protect hands by using gloves and follow the original angle of grind. Also, make sure to remove an equal amount from each blade and torque to 250 - 300 in. lbs.

NOTE: Make certain blades are reassembled with the sharp edge facing upward.

Sharpening Or Replacing The Shredder Blade

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine.

•Lower the hopper assembly and block up the housing.

•Remove the six hex lock nuts and flat washers from the weld studs on the flail housing.

•Separate the hopper assembly from the impeller assembly and remove the support plate.

NOTE: When reassembling the support plate, make certain the embossed tab faces inward towards the impeller.

•Remove the two wing knobs and cupped washers that secure the discharge chute and raise the chute.

•Insert a 1/2” or 3/4” diameter pipe through the flail screen into the impeller to keep it from turning or remove the flail screen and insert a piece of wood into the chute opening.

•Remove the two outside screws on the blade, using a 3/16” allen wrench and a 1/2” wrench.

See Figure 10.

•Remove the blade by removing the center bolt, lock washer, and flat washer.

NOTE: Use caution when removing the blade to avoid contacting the weld studs on the housing.

•When sharpening the blade, follow the original angle of grind as a guide. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade.
