MAINTENANCE
MODEL 12XP CE
The Easy Climb System allows you to adjust the
amount of spring tension put on the top feedwheel.
The more spring tension you have the harder it will be
for your top feedwheel to raise. More spring tension
will keep the top feedwheel down on smaller brush
material. The less spring tension you have the easier
it will be for the top feedwheel to raise. Less spring
tension allows the top feedwheel to raise, and climb
over the larger diameter material. Additional spring
tension requires more hydraulic yoke lift cylinder
power to raise the top feedwheel. May require slight
hydraulic relief valve adjustment.

DANGER
Before attempting any type of maintenance,
disengage clutch, wait for the drum to come to a complete
stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make
sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the
drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
There are four adjustment positions on the Easy
Climb System. When adjusting spring tension have
the top feedwheel in the lowered position. Use the
clevis pin with clip to adjust the tension. Make sure
that the clevis pin is installed properly and that the
clip is secured tightly in place.
With the pin in position 4, the Easy Climb System
will immediately have spring tension. Use this
position when chipping small brush type material.
With the pin in position 3, the Easy Climb System
will have approximately 51 mm (2”) of travel before
you start spring tension. Use this position when
chipping brush type material.
With the pin in position 2, the Easy Climb System
will have approximately 102 mm (4”) of travel before
you start spring tension. Use this position while
chipping slightly smaller material than the maximum
diameter material allowed by the chipper.
With the pin in position 1, the Easy Climb System
will have approximately 152 mm (6”) of travel before
you start spring tension. Use this position when
chipping the maximum diameter material allowed
by the chipper.
