12” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE
46
ENGINE
•
The air filters, the radiator screens and
fans, and the oil and fuel filters are
extremely important in chipper
operation. (For all engine maintenance
follow the engine manufacturer’s manual
and the following suggestions.)
AIR FILTERS – MAIN & SAFETY
•
Inspect the main and safety air filters
daily.
•
Do not tap or hit the main air filter to
clean it. Do not wash the main air filter.
Follow the engine manual for cleaning
the main air filter. Replace the air filter
when it cannot be cleaned or after
cleaning six times or if damaged.
NOTICE
Never run the engine without the air filter
installed or with a damaged air filter.
Replace air filters if there is damage to the
pleats, gaskets, or seals. The air filter is
used to prevent airborne debris from
getting into the engine. If dirt is allowed
to get into the engine it will greatly reduce
engine life and/or cause damage.
Never service the air cleaner with the
engine running.
DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OF ANY KIND ON THIS MACHINE UNLESS:
The engine is turned off
The ignition key has been removed
The positive battery cable has been disconnected
The clutch is disengaged
Feed control bar is in neutral
All machine parts have come to a complete stop – NOTE: The cutter disk takes
several minutes to come to a complete stop
All machine parts have had sufficient time to cool down
The cutter disk lock pin is installed in the disk lock tube
No operator is in position at the controls to accidentally start machine
At least 2 people are at the site where maintenance is performed
More accidents occur while performing maintenance than any other time! Use extra
caution.
Never
perform maintenance with the engine running, not even with the clutch disengaged.
The pilot bearing could seize or freeze to the clutch shaft and permit the clutch to engage
even though the operator thought the clutch had been disengaged.
ALWAYS REPLACE GUARDS AND OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT BEFORE
STARTING CHIPPER AFTER PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
