Intended uses of the chipper The Hansa C45 chipper is built to process organic material including wooden branches not exceeding 178mm in diameter. It is designed to be used on by commercial arborists, tree contractors and hire / rental companies. Do NOT use the chipper for any other purpose.
✓ Check direction of the discharge chute ✓ Check guards are all in place and in good condition ✓ Check all labels are legible. Replace if necessary (contact Hansa for replacements) ✓ Refer to maintenance section for more details Safe setup procedures...
Pushing in short, brushy and very leafy materials • Keeping the inlet table clear Outlet chute adjustment The C45 is fitted with a rotating outlet chute and deflector, allowing the operator to control the direction of material discharge from the machine: Outlet height adjustment Outlet deflector adjustment...
Emergency stop The C45 has two emergency stops on the top of the inlet chute. The emergency stops act as an immediate kill switch to the engine. It does not immediately stop the rotor from spinning. The rotor will continue to spin for some time due to its rotational inertia. The feed roller, however, will stop almost immediately.
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.

WARNING! Every time the knife clamping bolts are torqued up to 190 Nm and loosened off again, the life of the bolts is reduced. The knife clamping bolts must be replaced at most after every six sharpens. Contact Hansa for replacement bolts (M16x50 countersunk bolts of grade 12.9 and Zinc finish).
If both sides of the anvil are blunt: remove the anvil and replace it with a new one. Contact Hansa if a replacement anvil is required. Tighten the clamping bolts, ensuring there is a spring washer between the clamping plate and each nut. Torque the nuts to 44 Nm.
Belt tension Correct belt tension is crucial for minimising belt wear and maximising machine efficiency. The C45 uses a flexible tensioning device (shown in blue below). The tension of the device is set by adjusting the angle of how much the device flexes.
Fill the hydraulic oil tank so that the oil level is at the line indicated by the cold oil level label to the left of the oil level indicator. The level should be checked with the engine off while the oil is cold. For any repair in the hydraulic system, contact Hansa Products or seek advice from a competent service agent.
Replacing rotor bearing on inlet chute side of rotor: It is recommended to have this bearing replaced by a specialist Hansa dealer. Tyre Pressure The recommended tyre pressure is 65 Psi. Bolt torque When servicing the machine, ensure any bolts you remove are done back up and torqued to the values listed in the torque table...
