If the discharge area becomes clogged, remove the flail 
screen and clean area as follows:

•

Stop the engine and make certain the chipper 
shredder vacuum has come to a complete stop.

•

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and 
ground against the engine.

•

Remove the bag or blower chute (if equipped) from 
the unit as instructed in the OPERATION section to 
obtain access to flail screen. 

•

Remove self-tapping screw on right side of unit that 
attaches to the fail screen. See Figure 9.

•

Remove hex screw on top of rear housing mounting 
bracket and the flange lock nut that secures the flail 
screen. See Figure 10.

•

Remove and clean the screen by scraping or 
washing with water. Reinstall the flail screen.

Because the engine on this unit has a 

tapered crankshaft, a special impeller tool (part number 
753-0900) is required to remove the impeller assembly. 
For further assistance, contact your local service 
dealer. The instructions below involve use of this tool.

NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and
keep spark plug side up.

•

Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it away 
from the spark plug.

•

Remove flange lock nuts and front wheels that 
attach to pivot arm assemblies. See Figure 11.

•

Remove the shoulder screws and thrust and bell 
washers that go through the spring levers and pivot 
arms/height adjuster bearings to the front support 
brace. The front support brace and lock nut can be 
removed at this time as well.

•

Remove the three screws on the upper housing 
that secure the nozzle cover and the nine screws 
that secure the lower housing to the upper housing.
