Intended uses of the chipper The C65RX Hansa chipper is built to process organic material including wooden branches not exceeding 254 mm 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.
Expose the tracks to fuels or synthetic oils. If this does happen then they must immediately be cleaned Drive the chipper on steep routes. It is recommended that the C65RX should not be driven on slopes steeper than 15 degrees. The engine is not designed to operate at angles greater than 20 degrees for extended periods of time. Operators should take their time to become comfortable driving on steep terrain and learn what the machine is capable of.
Ensure both stabiliser feet are lowered while operating the winch If a replacement winch rope is required, the rope must be of equal or greater strength than what is specified (see the ‘Operation – Hydraulic Winch’ section of this manual). Contact Hansa for more information Chipping safety...
Pushing in short, brushy and very leafy materials • Keeping the inlet table clear Outlet chute adjustment The C65RX 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...
Rubber track drive The C65RX rubber track drive is operated by a fully proportional control remote. The remote has two joysticks, one on the left and one on the right that control the left and right tracks respectively. With the engine throttle set to half-way, familiarise yourself with the sensitivity of the tracks by moving the joysticks slowly to begin with.
(green) Status LED (blue) Drive the C65RX to the desired position using the left and right track controls on the remote. For safety reasons, the feed roller is disabled while the tracks are active. To reactivate the feed roller, the remote must be disconnected from the machine.
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). It is recommended to use only genuine Hansa bolts. Anvil adjustment Whenever the chipper knives are inspected/sharpened, the condition of the anvil should also be checked.
The bolts are best accessed from beneath the machine. If a replacement belt is required, contact Hansa. Push the pump all the way up to allow the belt to be removed. Hansa C65RX O&M Manual – OM-029 First Release 4/05/2021...
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.
If it is set further away, then the sensor may not work properly and therefore the AFC will not work. Replacing rotor bearing on inlet chute side of rotor: It is recommended to have this bearing replaced by a specialist Hansa dealer. Bolt torque...
