Patu DC 65 Manual / Information

[Rippofunk]

Hey Everyone!
First post here, I have scoured the internet looking for a manual or even information on the blade adjustments on a Patu DC 65 woodchipper.
I picked it up used and its in great overall shape with lots of life left on all components. It is a manual feed and it does not like to grab the logs and go. It is more like feeding a stubborn baby carrots!
I read somewhere that it is most likely the knives are dull. So I have removed the knives and the anvil to carefully and slowly sharpen them, on my old Shopsmith 10ER! I am ready to put the blades back in and give it a go, but thought I should check and see what the specs are on the blade heights and anvil gaps to make sure I give it the best chance it can to manually feed. I can not find any info at all.

I have found some old threads on here that link to the manual, but those links are dead. I am pretty desperate as I have hit a dead end. Any insight / help would be appreciated! I would be really excited to find the original manual though and make sure I am setting it up properly.

Thank you in advance!

I borrowed a Patu DC65 from a friend many years ago, and he gave me this PDF. It's from a different machine, but supposedly they are the same adjustments for the knives. Use at your own discretion!

Thank you so much! I found another one online, could not download it for the PATU DC45 I think, and had the same blade specs.
Thanks again, I super appreciate having more complete documentation!!!
