The chipper hood engine disable plug is wired
to shut down the chipper engine. When the disable
plug is pulled out of the electric socket the electric
circuit is broken, disabling the engine.
If the disable plug is not properly installed then
the engine will not start or run. If the disable plug
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 plug is located
on top of the chipper hood. The chipper hood engine
disable plug is made up of two parts: an electric
socket and a disable plug. The electric socket is
bolted to the chipper hood engine disable plug mount
bracket and the disable plug is attached by a cable
to the hood pin.
