Engine Disable
Plug
If the engine does not start, check that the
Engine Disable Plug is installed correctly. Engine will not start or will not stay
running and will have down time for
repairs.
The terminals on the Engine Disable Plug
socket may need to be spread to get a
good connection and/or also check for
corrosion on the terminals.
Hydraulic System
Maintain the hydraulic tank level at 7/8
full.
Poor performance and will have down
time for repairs.
Change hydraulic fi lters per owners
manual.
Check hydraulic function pressures per
owners manual.
Start with simple checks if the feed
system is not working properly. Look at
any dump cartridges or solenoids on
the hydraulic system, often tapping of
the block or removing the cartridge and
cleaning it will take care of problems.
Feed System
Slide Box
Open the bottom feedwheel clean-out
door and clean any debris to make sure
no binding occurs.
Bottom feedwheel binding up and
possible down time for repairs.
Adjust the yoke springs to the size of the
wood.
Too much pressure from the yoke
springs will not allow the wood to feed
properly. Too little pressure will allow the
feedwheels to spin on the wood.
The feed system slide box must be oiled
to ensure proper operation, DO NOT
grease.
The slide box may bind up causing down
time for repairs.
Autofeed
Make sure the engine RPM returns to
original RPM, if not the autofeed will not
allow the feedwheels to run.

wood, the chipper could plug with wood
chips causing down time for unplugging.
Make sure the cartridges and valves in the
hydraulic system are functioning properly.
