Fuel Tank: The shredder/chipper shall include a Federally approved fuel tank minimum 26 gallon capacity including lockable cap and padlock. The tank shall be rubber isolated at frame mounts to absorb shock. Lighting: The Shredder/Chipper shall include a heavy duty taillight package certified to conform to all D.O.T. specifications. The brake lights, directional signals, and clearance lights shall be hermetically sealed and shock mounted with grommets, and flush mounted to the frame for protection. Both the license plate light and bracket shall be mounted within the steel plate to provide protection. The wiring for all lighting shall be within conduits to provide shielding at all strategic points. All connections shall be soldered within the wiring harness. Battery Box: The battery shall be enclosed within an all steel frame, frame mounted box. A padlock shall be included. Cutting System Rotor: The rotor shall be precision-machines and faced on all surfaces to ensure a uniform balance. Rotor Shaft: The rotor shaft shall be constructed of forged steel. Bearings: Greasable, four-blot flange-type bearings with static misalignment capabilities shall be included. Chipper Knives: The shredder/chipper shall include four (4) high-carbon cutting knives with serrated backs to enable quick blade changes and full-length interlocking support.

Feed Plate: The feed plate shall be a heavy duty reinforced steel weldment designed to withstand heavy shock loads. Additionally, it shall be designed to allow quick adjustments and replacement in the event of heavy wear. Flywheel: The flywheel shall be machined from solid 1018 steel plate, and shall measure approximately 18 inches in diameter by 4 inches thick. The flywheel shall be dynamically balanced to allow for smooth operation of the blower system and stored energy backup for the rotor. Infeed Chute System: The all steel, heavy construction infeed chute shall measure approximately 42 inches wide by 27 inches high by 33 inches deep. The chute shall be fitted with a folding feed table designed to position the operator to the left or right of center while feeding the chipper.
