Rotor Knives
!
WARNING
Do not operate Wood Chipper with knives that are bent, out of
balance, dull, broken, or with worn mounting bolts. Such
knives can break loose from the chipper at high speeds
causing serious injury or death.
!
CAUTION
Knives are sharp. ALWAYS wear gloves and eye protection
while inspecting, removing, sharpening, and replacing knives.
!
CAUTION
Knife bolts must be tightened to the correct torque value
provided under “Additional Torque Values” on page 34.
Not doing so can damage the chipper and cause bodily injury.
Accessing Rotor Knives
Figure 4-1
Rotor Knife Access
Refer to Figure 4-1:
1. Make certain gear selector is in park and park brake
is set. Disengage PTO, shut tractor engine off,
remove switch key and wait for all moving parts to
stop before working on this machine.
2. Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft.
3. Remove hex flange screw (#4).
4. Rotate upper rotor housing (#2) up until locking
strap (#3) supports the housing. (Do not drop.)
5. When finished servicing rotor knives, rotate upper
rotor housing down and secure with existing
3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex flange serrated screw (#4). Tighten
serrated screw to the correct torque.
IMPORTANT: Replace knives with genuine Land
Pride knives only. All knives must be replaced at the
same time. Not replacing knives at the same time
will result in an out-of-balance condition that can
contribute to premature bearing breakdown and
create structural cracks in the chipper housing.

General Maintenance Information
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts and pins after using the unit for several
hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are
tight and secured. Lubricate components on schedule.
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining them from your Land Pride dealer.
!
DANGER
Work only in areas that are well ventilated. Never operate an
engine in a closed area without venting the exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes will cause asphyxiation and can lead to death.
!
DANGER
Always secure Wood Chipper in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of chipper. Never work
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can
drop equipment instantly if controls are actuated even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.
!
DANGER
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut tractor
engine off, remove switch key, and wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop before unplugging chutes, servicing,
adjusting, cleaning and/or maintaining this machine.
Also, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO before servicing
driveline, rotor, and rotor knives. The PTO can be engaged if
tractor is started causing serious injury or death.
!
WARNING
Do not operate Wood Chipper with an out-of-balance rotor.
Rotor parts can work loose at high speeds resulting in flying
parts that can cause serious injury or death.
!
WARNING
Frequently check all hardware to make certain it is tight.
Operating Wood Chipper with loose pins, bolts, and nuts can
cause equipment to not preform properly and may result in a
serious breakdown that can cause bodily injury or death.
!
WARNING
Replace worn, damaged, or missing parts only with genuine
Land Pride parts. Replacing parts with other brands can
cause equipment to not perform properly and may lead to
breakage that can cause bodily injury or death.
!
CAUTION
Do not alter the Wood Chipper in a way which will adversely
affect its performance or reliability. Doing so can damage the
Wood Chipper, cause personal injury and void the warranty.
