You have just purchased the WoodMaxx WM-Series Wood Chipper, the strongest, safest and the most compact PTO wood chipper available. We have compiled this owner’s manual to help you understand and appreciate your chipper. By taking a few minutes to read this manual and understand the maintenance instructions, it will give you better performance and extend the life of your chipper. Read the manual before operating the chipper. SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS Your chipper does need to be set up prior to installation. It arrives in a steel crate that can be dismantled in minutes. See Assembly Instructions The infeed bin and discharge chute are shipped with the unit and are located in the bottom of the steel crate. Turn the flywheel by hand before attaching to tractor and applying power to ensure that nothing is in the chipper head. If the chipper deflector or any of the guards have been removed for shipping, be sure to replace them properly before use. The PTO (Drive-Line) is also shipped with the unit and is located in the bottom of the steel crate. When mounting, keep the chipper as close to the tractor as possible. Make sure that the PTO shaft will not bottom out in the shortest position. While in use, keep the PTO shaft straight. No more than 15 degrees from level is acceptable. Do not operate the chipper without the chip deflector properly in place. 1 Page 3 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Tools you will need: � 13mm Wrench (same as 1/2”) � 16mm Wrench (same as 5/8”) � Torque Wrench � 18mm Wrench � 19mm Socket (same as 3/4”) � 17mm Socket WM-8M Inspect crate for any obvious damages from shipping. [fig. 1] Remove all chipper parts from crate. Remove packaging and inspect all pieces. [fig. 2] Remove top from steel crate. [fig. 3] Remove drive belt cover and set aside. Open hardware bag. [fig 4] Locate the lift point on the top of the machine. This is the balance point, and the only point you should lift chipper from. [fig 5] Using a chain or strap rated strong enough to lift the weight of the chipper, lift the chipper out of the steel crate base. If you do not have the ability to lift the chipper from the crate, you can attach the 3pt hitch and lift the chipper out of the crate. Remove tension springs from top feed roller. Raise and support feed roller. A 2x4 works well for this step. [fig. 6] Assembly Time 2 hours 2 Page 4 Torque bed blade (Anvil) bolts to specifications (40ft/lb). Do this prior to bolting on infeed bin. Hold the bolt in place with a 6mm allen wrench and torque the nylon lock nut (17mm socket). [fig. 7] Remove shield that covers infeed roller drive axle. Remove access panels from front and back of flywheel housing to expose the flywheel blades. Torque all flywheel blade bolts to specifications (40 ft/lb). Hold bolts in place with a 6mm allen wrench and torque the nylon lock nuts (17mm socket). (Note: Many times it is NOT necessary to hold the bolt with an allen wrench. Friction will usually hold it in place.) [fig. 8] Assemble infeed bin by first bolting side panels to chipper, then the bottom, and lastly the top. Do NOT tighten bolts until all four panels are installed, making sure bottom panel of in feed bin is slightly higher than that of the chipper so branches can slide over it easily without hang up. (Note: Side panels should be mounted on the outside of the top and bottom panels.) Attach the infeed roller disengage bar using the 2 long bolts set aside earlier. Attach bolts in this manner: � Thread nut onto bolt � Tighten nut and bolt � Slide washer onto bolt � Attach disengage bar then thread on nylon lock nut, but DO NOT TIGHTEN - this pivot point must be loose for disengage bar to work properly. [fig. 9 & 10] Lubricate the disengage bar cable. Do this by spraying a high quality silicone lubricant into both ends of the cable. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3

It arrives in a steel crate that can be dismantled in minutes. See Assembly Instructions The in-feed bin and discharge chute are shipped with the unit and are locat- ed in the bottom of the steel crate. Visually inspect the in-feed bin, and the fly wheel before attaching to tractor, and applying power to ensure that nothing is in the chipper head. If the chipper deflector or any of the guards have been removed for shipping, be sure to replace them properly before use. The PTO (Drive-Line) is also shipped with the unit and is located in the bot- tom of the steel crate. When mounting, keep the chipper as close to the tractor as possible. Make sure that the PTO shaft will not bottom out in the shortest position. While in use, keep the PTO shaft straight. No more than 15 degrees from level is acceptable. Do not operate the chipper without the chip deflector properly in place. Read and understand all assembly instructions prior to assembly. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 2 Before you get started, there are a few tools you will need: Assembly Time 2.5 Hours Remove the plastic wrapping from the crate and inspect the chipper for any obvious shipping damage. Remove and unwrap all the chipper components that are packaged in the crate. Remove the cardboard box from the in-feed bin. This box contains the user’s manual, hardware pack- et, extra shear bolts, and any ad- ditional item that you may have purchased such as extra chipper knives. [Fig. 1a] Open the hardware packet and organize the enclosed fasteners into sepa- rate piles. There is a picture of the hardware on pg. 4 of this manual that you can use as a guide to ensure that you use the correct hardware in the up- coming steps. Remove the four bolts that secure the top of the crate frame. Remove the top of the crate, and set it aside. Located on the bottom of the crate is a cross bar that secures the chip- per to the frame. Loosen the two bolts that hold this bar in place, and drive the bar forward with a dead blow hammer. [Fig. 1b].
