out through discharge tube. The chips can be diverted into a container or onto the ground
WARNING！
Before operating your machine, be sure you read and understand all safety, controls and operating
instructions in this Owner/Operators manual and on your machine. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury or property damage.
4.1 STARTING ENGINES
MODELS: DWC-30/40/50H MODELS, DWC-18/22M MODELS
Move the machine to a clear, level area outdoors before starting.
Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders. Make sure the cutting chamber is empty before starting.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a
60 second cool down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out, or
permanently damage, the starter motor.
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the starter but does not keep running (a false start), the
engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop before attempting to restart the engine. If the starter is
engaged while the flywheel is rotating, damage to the starter may result.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut off starter immediately. Do not make further attempts to start
the engine until the condition is corrected. Do not jump start using another battery. Follow the steps below to start
the machine
1. Check the breaker, ensure it was connection. The breaker was beside the battery under the engine shield.
2. Check engine oil level before starting.
3. Place the throttle control midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.
4. Turn the key switch clockwise to the ON position to start the engine.
5. For a Cold Engine - Start the engine after warm up.
4.2 STOPPING ENGINES
1. Move throttle to SLOW position.
2. Shut off engine (see engine owner’s manual).
3. Allow machine to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The disk will continue to turn for some time after the engine has been shut off .Make sure disk has
stopped completely before inspecting or servicing machine.

14
4.3 STARTING TRACTORS
MODELS: WC-8H MODELS, WC-8M MODELS
1. CONNECTING THE PTO SHAFT
Move the machine to a clear, level area outdoors before starting. Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders.
Make sure the cutting chamber is empty before starting.
Connect the PTO shaft between the chipper and the tractor. The minimum & maximum telescoping on the
PTO shaft is 26" to 32".
2. Start the tractor engine and engage the tractor PTO.
3. Increase the engine speed to the rated PTO RPM position.
4.4 STOPPING TRACTORS
MODELS: WC-8H MODELS, WC-8M MODELS
1. Move the tractor throttle to the SLOW position.
2. Disengage the PTO lever and shut off the tractor engine.
3. Allow machine to come to a complete stop.
4.5 CHIPPING GUIDE
The chipper chips a variety of materials into a more readily decomposed or handled condition. The following
guidelines can help you get started.
Run unit at full operating speed before starting to chip material.
These machines are most effective when chipping material 0-8〞in diameter.
Trim those lateral branches that cannot be bent enough to feed into the chipper chute. Hold small diameter
branches together in a bundle and feed in simultaneously.
Exclude pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, and other foreign objects when feeding chip able material into
the machine.
Do not lean over the chipper chute to push objects into the cutting device. Use a push stick or brush paddle.
Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper chute until it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed rate of
the limb into the chipper will depend on the type of material fed and sharpness of the cutting blades.
Stop the material feeding and allow the engine to recover if the engine slows to where it may stall.
Alternately insert and retract the limb or insert continuously at a rate that will not kill the engine.
Chipping dead, dry material will create heat and dull the chipping blades quickly.
Alternate green material with dry material can lubricate the chipping blades for longer life and better
performance.
The chipping blades will become dull and will require periodic sharpening. Refer to the Service and
Maintenance section for sharpening instructions.
5 SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING！
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER
16
SOURCE, AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
5.2 CHIPPER BLADES
WARNING: Chipping blades are sharp! Use caution when working on machine to avoid injury.
The chipping blades will eventually become dull, making chipping difficult and adding extra strain on the
machine. Poor chipping performance is usually a result of dull chipping blades. It is recommended that the blades
be sharpened every 5-15 hours or if your chipper’s performance has decreased. Check for the following symptoms
and sharpen the blades if needed.
Severe vibration when feeding material into the chipper.
Small diameter branches do not self-feed.
Chips discharge unevenly or have strongly tails, especially when chipping green branches.
Before you sharpen the chipping blades, check for permanent damage. Replace the blade if.
1. There are cracks, broken corners or nicks.
2. The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been re-sharpened
5.3 REMOVING AND SHARPENING THE BLADES
5.3.1 Removing the blades
1. Remove the blade replaces cover from the chipper housing by loosing and removing the two M10 bolts.
2. Remove the four bolts on the back side access of disk cover.
3. Rotate the disk so that the bolts holding the chipper blades are accessible.
4. Install the chipper blades and cover carefully.
5. Inspect blades to see if cracks or nicks are visible. If cracks are present, replace the blades. If nicks cannot
be removed by sharpening blade, replace the blade.
5.3.2 SHARPENING THE BLADES
1. Never sharpen or grind the mounting surfaces of the blades.This will cause the edge to roll and the blade
will be damaged, resulting in poor chipping performance.
2. Regrind the angled edge of the chipping blades to 30~32 degrees (Figure 5.1).
3. The blades can be ground on a bench grinder or by a professional.
4. Make sure some type of fixture is used to correctly hold the blade at the proper angle.
5. Be careful when grinding so that the blade does not become overheated and change color. This will
remove the heat treated properties.
6. Use short grinding times and cool with water or some type of liquid coolant.
7. Remove an equal amount off each blade to maintain rotor balance.
8. Small imperfections such as nicks and burrs on the flat side of the blade will not affect the chipping
performance of the machine.
9. For blades that have been repeatedly sharpened, ensure that the sharpened surface extends past the
chipping slot opening. If it does not extend past the opening, the blades should be replaced.
5.3.3 INSTALLING THE BLADES
1. Place a blade on the disk and attach with three M10 Countersunk head hex bolts and three M10 locknuts.
Torque the bolt to 75 foot-pounds. Repeat for the remaining blades.
The chipping blades should clear to the disk surface, by least 2mm. To adjust (increase) the blade clearance,
1-3mm aluminum sheet can be placed under blades to the size of the debris. But the chipping blades should clear
to the chipping anvil, located directly under the chipper chute, by least 1.5mm meanwhile (Figure 5.2).
It is important to ensure that the minimum gap between the chipping anvil and ALL chipping blades is

17
1.5mm. Failure to do so can result in the chipping blades striking the chipping, causing serious injury or death.

5.5 DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
Check the condition of the drive belt(s) annually or after every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
Replace a cracked, frayed, worn or stretched drive belt. Only replace drive belt with original banded type belt. Do
not use single type belts. To adjust the drive belt(s), proceed as follows:
DWC–30/40/50 H MODELS; DWC–18/22 M MODELS
1. Shut engine off.
2. Loosen the three M16 bolts attaching the chipper disk housing to the trailer.
3. Tighten the adjustable bolt to increase tension on the belt.
4. Tighten the three M16 bolts attaching the chipper disk housing to the trailer (figure 5.3).

Figure 5.3 Adjust Drive Belts

WC–8H MODELS; WC–8M MODELS
The main drive belts on the chipper need to be tight. To tighten these belts may by tightening the four adjustable
bolts under the bottom of the power-input-shaft bearing support. Keep the power-input-shaft parallel with the
main shaft. Torque the bottom bolts 80 foot pounds (Figure5.4).

The feed roll drive belt can be adjusted by first loosening the four bolts that hold the worm gear box to the
base, then moving the gear box away from the adjustable bolt and re-torques the bolts to 40 foot pounds.

5.6 TRAILER SERVICE TIPS

1. Check wheel bolt torque every 8 hours of towing.
2. Check air pressure in tires every 8 hours of towing. Inflate to pressure marked on sidewall of tire.
3. Check and repack wheel bearings with grease every 12 months.
4. When towing, use a proper size ball, and always connect the safety chain，make sure trailer hitch bolts are
tight and secure.
5.7 GREASING THE BEARINGS AND PIVOTS
Mounted bearings are pre-lubricated at our factory and are ready for operation.
RELUBRICATION: Relubrication of bearings is determined by operating conditions and environment.
Relubricate standard bearings with a LITHIUM based grease.
GREASING INTERVALS: Bearings in extreme environments will require more frequent greasing
intervals.
Care should be taken when greasing bearings to avoid overfilling.
Overfilling can lead to excessive heat and or unseating of the seals. Grease should be introduced in small
increments and under light pressure. Whenever possible, the bearing should be rotated slowly while grease is
being added to ensure equal distribution throughout the raceways.
