FEATURES & CONTROLS
Understanding how your machine works will help you achieve the best results when using your chipper. The following
descriptions define the features and controls of your machine.
REFER TO ENGINE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR FURTHER ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
1. CHUTE EXTENSION TRAY
CE compliant models. The feed chute has an
extension tray that folds down. Raise the extension
tray to an upright position and secure with latch before
towing the machine.
2. DISCHARGE CAP
Directs the discharge of material to the ground.
3. ROTOR ACCESS COVER
Remove to expose chipper blades.
4. FEED CHUTE
Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute to
the chipper blades.
5. JACK STAND
Always have in UP position and clear from ground
when transporting the chipper. When disconnected
from tow vehicle, place in DOWN position on a level
surface.
6. SAFETY CHAINS
Safety chains are used, during towing, to prevent
the chipper from completely separating from the tow
vehicle in the event the chipper detaches from the
tow vehicle. Cross the safety chains under the hitch
and connect to tow vehicle.
7. COUPLER
2 inch coupler for non-CE compliant models. 50 mm
coupler for CE compliant models. Always use safety
chains when towing.
8. DRIVE BELT SHIELD
Never remove shields when in use.
9. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must
be in the disengaged (UP) position. With the engine
at 1/4 throttle, carefully engage the rotor by slowly
pushing the engagement handle down, allowing the
rotor to speed up gradually. Engaging the chipper too
quickly with the engine at full or half throttle will bog
down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt.
