OPERATION
23. Hydraulic Feed Control:
The machine with the hydraulic feed hop-
per is designed with a control lever to place the
hopper in FEED - OFF/NEUTRAL - RE- VERSE.
Pull all the way out to feed, push in to the first
detent for off or neutral and fully in for reverse.
In reverse the material in the hopper is pulled
out of the rotor. Use reverse when the rotor is
overloaded, jammed or plugged.
IMPORTANT
Check the function of the control lever when
attaching the hydraulic lines to the tractor. The
Feeding
hopper must feed in when the lever is moved
out. If it does not, reverse the hoses.
The
control lever must function like the drawing
on each side of the hopper or the hoses
must be reversed.
Use the flow divider valve to set the speed of
the feed hopper. Use the quality of the job being
done to establish the required feed speed.
Increase the speed when chipping brush or
twigs. Decrease the speed when chipping hard,
solid material or when the engine is being pulled
down.
