CHIPPER HOOD ENGINE DISABLE
SWITCH OPERATION
This chipper hood engine disable switch is installed for safety purposes. It is designed to shut down the
engine if the hood pin is not properly in place holding the chipper hood in the closed position. The system must
be correctly maintained and operative at all times. If the actuator key of the switch is not correctly installed
the engine will not start or run.
The chipper hood engine disable switch is located on top of the chipper hood (see Figure 1). The chipper
hood engine disable switch is made up of two parts: an electric switch and an actuator key. The electric switch
is bolted to a mount on top of the chipper hood and the actuator key is attached by a cable to the hood pin
(see Figure 1).
If the chipper hood engine disable switch is not properly installed then the engine will not start or run. If the
chipper hood engine disable switch becomes disconnected while the chipper engine is running the engine
will be shut down or be disabled from running. This is for safety purposes, to ensure that the hood pin is not
removed and the chipper hood is not opened while the engine is running.
The chipper hood engine disable switch is wired to shut down the chipper engine. When the actuator key
is pulled out of the electric switch the electric circuit is broken, disabling the engine.
