The 15HP Chipper is a large item delivered on a pallet.

• Carton Dimensions: 860mm x 735mm x 1310mm
• Gross Weight: 115kg

For a first-time build, assembly takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. It involves installing the wheels, axles, tow bar, hoppers, and discharge chute.

Want to skip the assembly? Our Gold PDI service means we build, test, and palletise it for you.

• We recommend running the chipper between 10-15 minutes before checking the tension of the belts again.
• After this initial check, we recommend checking the tension before each chipping session.

 

• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the tension of the blades and belts.
• Check the blades for sharpness.

 

• Check the tyre pressure.
• Clean the engine exterior and cooling fins.
• Change the engine oil.
• Replace or clean the air filter.
• Grease the rotor bearings.

 

• Replace the spark plug.

Watch our video showing how to replace the flails in the lower chipping chamber:

 

Replacement Parts: There are 16 flail hammers in total (4 sets). We sell individual components or complete kits:

• Full Throttle: Ensure you run the chipper on full throttle whenever chipping to get maximum through draft and to prevent blocking.
• Correct Hopper: No items larger than 10mm should be put through the top hopper; feed these into the side chute.
• Pro Tip: Listen to the engine. If the RPM drops while chipping, stop feeding material and allow the engine to recover speed before continuing.

1. Turn the machine off immediately and disconnect the spark plug.
2. Clear any blockages from the side chute and chipping chamber.
3. Check the discharge area: Remove the mesh screen to access the curved screen with circular holes. Use a suitable implement to remove any debris. If you are unable to clear it, remove the rods holding the screen to take it out entirely.
4. Ensure both screens are reinstalled before restarting.
5. After clearing, run the machine for a minute without material to ensure the chamber is empty.

Recommendation: Always let the machine run for a minute after use to clear debris before turning it off.

Please check the following steps in order:

• Basics: Is the ignition 'ON'? Is the fuel valve open?
• Fuel: Are you using fresh, clean fuel? (Old fuel degrades after 30 days).
• Spark Plug: Is it clean? If oily, remove it, clean it, and pull the recoil to clear the cylinder. You can watch our spark plug replacement video here.
• Oil Level: These engines have a low-oil cut-out sensor. Even if slightly low, it won't start. Fill to the top of the threads.
• Carburetor: Check for dirt. Undo the float bowl bolt, empty old fuel, and clean the jet.
• Air Filter: Remove it and try starting. If it starts, the filter is blocked and needs replacing.

• Check that the throttle lever is in the RUN position (Hare icon).
• Check Air Filter: If dirty, clean or replace. You can order a replacement air filter here.
• Check Oil: If dirty/black, replace with fresh SAE30 oil.

• Oil Level: Check dipstick and adjust.
• Oil Type: Ensure you are using SAE30 horticultural oil. Too light oil causes smoking.
• Air Filter: Check if blocked.
• Cooling: Ensure external cooling fans/fins are not clogged with dust.

For the Lifan 190F engine:

• Intake: 0.15mm
• Exhaust: 0.20 +0.02mm

Usually caused by a stuck float or perished o-ring.

1. Check Float: Turn fuel off, remove bowl. Push the white plastic float up gently. Turn fuel on. If fuel flows while float is up, the float is faulty.
2. Check O-Ring: Inspect the o-ring groove where the bowl sits against the carburetor body. Replace if perished.

Watch our step-by-step guide on replacing the drive belts and guard:

 

This means the pulleys are out of alignment. Check the lower to upper pulley alignment using a spirit level. You can adjust the engine position by loosening the 4 mounting bolts.

1. Loosen the four location nuts on the engine base.
2. Move the engine forward until the V belt is very tight.
3. Align the main pulley and affiliated pulley so they are on the same plane.
4. Tighten the four location bolts.
5. Re-fix the belt cover.
