CS100 modification suggestion

[Tim Stobart Tree Surgery]

I got my wee chipper a couple of weeks ago. It's great.

 

There is one wee issue I would alter.

 

 

 

The discharge chute is very hard to tighten efficienty due to the knob being to close to the chute. This has lead to it flying off and a shower of chippings on a couple of occasions.

 

The solution is very simple. Two or three of these white plastic spacers on the bolt would shift the knob far enough to the side ( away from the metal) to be easily turned.

Put a bungee cord from the spring onto the top hole of the support leg. Won't come off then.

Or tighten it up properly:001_rolleyes:

[Tim Stobart Tree Surgery]

Aye, tightening it up properly is the answer, my suggestion is just to make it easier.

Experienced the same issue when we hired one many years back from fr jones. Good simple solution there Tim.

had the same problem on my older style Greenmech GMR100 except the chute was secured with a large plastic tipped 'wingnut' which i simply reduced the protruding 'tips' by grinding 3mm off of each one.
