INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS! You have just purchased the
WoodMaxx
WM-Series Wood
Chipper, the strongest, safest and the most compact PTO wood chipper available.
We have compiled this owner’s manual to help you understand and appreciate
your chipper. By taking a few minutes to read this manual and understand the
maintenance instructions, it will give you better performance and extend the life
of your chipper. Read the manual before operating the chipper.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Your chipper does need to be set up prior to installation. It arrives in a steel
crate that can be dismantled in minutes.
See Assembly Instructions
The infeed bin and discharge chute are shipped with the unit and are
located in the bottom of the steel crate.
Turn the flywheel by hand before attaching to tractor and applying power to
ensure that nothing is in the chipper head. If the chipper deflector or any of
the guards have been removed for shipping, be sure to replace them properly
before use.
The PTO (Drive-Line) is also shipped with the unit and is located in the bottom
of the steel crate.
When mounting, keep the chipper as close to the tractor as possible.
Make sure that the PTO shaft will not bottom out in the shortest position.
While in use, keep the PTO shaft straight. No more than 15 degrees from level
is acceptable.
Do not operate the chipper without the chip deflector properly in place.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Tools you will need:
13mm Wrench (same as 1/2”)
16mm Wrench (same as 5/8”)
Torque Wrench
18mm Wrench
19mm Socket (same as 3/4”)
17mm Socket
WM-8M
Inspect crate for any obvious damages from shipping. [fig. 1]
Remove all chipper parts from crate. Remove packaging and inspect all
pieces. [fig. 2]
Remove top from steel crate. [fig. 3]
Remove drive belt cover and set aside.
Open hardware bag. [fig 4]
Locate the lift point on the top of the machine. This is the balance point, and
the only point you should lift chipper from. [fig 5]
Using a chain or strap rated strong enough to lift the weight of the chipper,
lift the chipper out of the steel crate base. If you do not have the ability to lift
the chipper from the crate, you can attach the 3pt hitch and lift the chipper
out of the crate.
Remove tension springs from top feed roller.
Raise and support feed roller. A 2x4 works well for this step. [fig. 6]
Assembly Time 2 hours

Torque bed blade (Anvil) bolts to specifications (40ft/lb). Do this prior to
bolting on infeed bin. Hold the bolt in place with a 6mm allen wrench and
torque the nylon lock nut (17mm socket). [fig. 7]
Remove shield that covers infeed roller drive axle.
Remove access panels from front and back of flywheel housing to expose the
flywheel blades.
Torque all flywheel blade bolts to specifications (40 ft/lb). Hold bolts in place
with a 6mm allen wrench and torque the nylon lock nuts (17mm socket).
(Note: Many times it is NOT necessary to hold the bolt with an allen wrench.
Friction will usually hold it in place.) [fig. 8]
Assemble infeed bin by first bolting side panels to chipper, then the bottom,
and lastly the top. Do NOT tighten bolts until all four panels are installed,
making sure bottom panel of in feed bin is slightly higher than that of the
chipper so branches can slide over it easily without hang up. (Note: Side
panels should be mounted on the outside of the top and bottom panels.)
Attach the infeed roller disengage bar using the 2 long bolts set aside earlier.
Attach bolts in this manner:
Thread nut onto bolt
Tighten nut and bolt
Slide washer onto bolt
Attach disengage bar then thread on nylon lock nut, but
DO NOT
TIGHTEN
- this pivot point must be loose for disengage bar to work
properly. [fig. 9 & 10]
Lubricate the disengage bar cable. Do this by spraying a high quality silicone
lubricant into both ends of the cable.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Attach both ends of the cable and adjust so horizontal portion of disengage
bar is just below the bottom of the in feed bin. [fig. 11]
Using small zip ties, attach rubber boot to both ends of cable. This will help to
prevent moisture/foreign objects from getting into the cable. [fig. 12] [fig. 13]
Attach support leg. Note the support leg should only be in the down position
while the chipper is disconnected from tractor. While chipper is connected to
tractor, keep the support leg up to prevent it from getting hooked on objects
when moving.
Attach feed roller assist lever. [fig. 14]
Attach swivel discharge chute. [fig. 15]
Locate all zerk fittings on machine (7 – bearings, 2 – PTO drive shaft). Pump
several shots of high quality grease into fittings. (Note: Check to ensure the
zerk fitting are screwed in tight.)
Check and adjust so that both pulleys on jack shaft and main shaft are parallel.
(+/- 1/8” is acceptable) If not, adjust at this time by loosening the 4 bolts that
support the jack shaft assembly and by tightening or loosening the bolts on
the bottom of the jack shaft assembly until pulleys are parallel and belts are
tight. Once parallel, tighten the 4 bolts that support the jack shaft assembly.
Take your time on this step. Proper setup will ensure many years of trouble
free operation
. [fig. 16] [fig. 17]
*This step has been completed for your
machine prior to leaving the WoodMaxx Warehouse.

Remove cover from infeed roller drive axle.
Fill gear box with 90W gear oil until level with red dot through site window.
Approximately 4-6oz. Sometimes oil will not show in window until machine has
been used for a while. [fig. 18]
*This step has been completed for your
machine prior to leaving the WoodMaxx Warehouse.
Check and adjust tension on belt that drives gear box. It should be tight so that
when belt is squeezed by hand – belt does not touch itself. [fig. 19]
Make adjustments by loosening 4 bolts that hold gear box assembly (16mm).
Turn adjustment screws until belt is tight. [fig. 20] [fig. 21]
Tighten all 4 bolts on gear box assembly (16mm).
Lubricate infeed roller drive shaft and clutch assembly with a high quality spray
Lithium grease. Be careful NOT to spray grease on pulleys and belt.
Connect chipper to tractor using 3 pt hitch.
Reattach drive belt cover.
Attach PTO shaft from tractor to chipper. If shaft is too short, adjust 3 pt hitch
arms on chipper. If shaft is too long, refer to Drive-Line Fitting Adjustments in
the operation manual.
It is very important to attach the PTO shaft while both
spline from chipper and the spline from tractor are horizontal and in line with
each other. [fig. 23] [fig. 24]
(Note: if you attach the PTO shaft while spline
from chipper is lower than the tractor spline, you could damage the chipper.
When you raise the chipper for transport, the shaft will compress and bind.)

The recommended position of the chipper during operation is horizontal. A
maximum of 15 degrees of offset from the horizontal position between the
two shaft ends is allowable.
Read ALL operational manual instructions before using chipper.
