3. 3. Remove the dull or damaged cutter blades and
visually inspect the flywheel slots. The blade mounting
areas must be clean so the replacement blades will
mount flush against the flywheel.
Important: It is very important to consistently
maintain the 35-degree angle for proper chipping
performance.
4. Reverse the blade to use the second sharp edge, or
install new or sharpened blades and finger tighten the
bolts and lock nuts to hold the blades to the flywheel.
5. Tighten the center bolts and nuts first, then tighten the
outer bolts and nuts, and finally tighten the inner bolts
and nut. See sequence for tightening (Figure 29).
6. Torque the blade bolts to 43-53 ft-lb (58-72 N-m).
7. Scrape any sap, mulch, and dirt from inside the top
cover of the housing to prevent the flywheel from
rubbing on it or was the same way as the cutting
chamber.

Charging the Battery

Important: Always keep the battery fully charged (1.265
specific gravity). This is especially important to prevent
battery damage when the temperature is below 32F
(05C).
Charging the battery produces gases that can explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
3. Charge the battery for 10 to 15 minutes at 25 to 30
amps or 30 minutes at 4 to 6 amps. Do not overcharge
the battery (Figure 30).
