CHIPPER HOOD ENGINE DISABLE PLUG OPERATION
This chipper hood engine disable plug 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 plug connector is not correctly installed the engine
will not start or run.
The chipper hood engine disable plug is located
on top of the chipper hood (see figure 1). The chipper
engine disable plug is made up of two parts: an electric
socket and a plug connector (see figure 2). The electric
socket is bolted to the chipper engine disable plug
mount bracket (see figure 3) and the plug connector
is attached by a cable to the hood pin (see figure 4).
If the chipper engine disable plug is not properly
installed then the engine will not start or run. If the
chipper engine 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 engine disable plug is wired to shut
down the chipper engine. When the plug connector
is pulled out of the electric socket the electric circuit is
broken, disabling the engine.
