Intended uses of the chipper The Hansa C13/C21 PTO chipper is built to process organic material including wooden branches not exceeding 90 mm / 130 mm diameter respectively. It is designed to be used on a regular basis to maintain large gardens, lifestyle blocks, acreages, along with use by semi commercial garden maintenance contactors.
Assembling the chipper When you receive your Hansa brush chipper, the inlet and outlet chute may not be assembled on the chipper. All the fasteners (bolts, nuts and washers) are attached to their respective components. Fit the outlet chute (C13 PTO)

A damaged guard must be replaced by an identical or equivalent guard immediately It is recommended to contact Hansa for a replacement guard WARNING! Prior to starting any maintenance tasks on the PTO driven chipper, ensure the tractor is parked on a flat, level surface with the park brakes applied, engine stopped, chipper placed firmly on the ground, and the PTO drive shaft removed.
Blunt knives result in damage to the chipper How to re-sharpen the knives: If you don’t have a surface grinder or are unsure how to re-sharpen the knives, contact a professional saw doctor or Hansa to arrange re-sharpening. WARNING! Be careful when working around the sharp knives. Be aware that even though the machine is uncoupled, the rotor can still move.
Close and secure the outlet chute. WARNING! Every time the knife clamping bolts are torqued up to 35 Nm (C13 PTO m8 bolts) or 77 Nm (C21 PTO m10 bolts) and loosened off again, the life of the bolts is reduced. The knife clamping bolts must be replaced at most after every six sharpens.
Sidewall belt wear The C13 PTO requires two B55 vee belts and the C21 requires three B60 vee belts. If the belts require replacement, follow the ‘adjusting belt tension’ procedure. After replacing the belts, check the tension after two hours of operation. The tension of a new belt will quickly change as the belt initially wears into the pulley system.
