ing work.
Caution and care should be exercised
when feeding material into the feeder. Do
not reach into the feed hopper at any time.
5.10 CHIPPING OPERATION
a.
De-limb large branches and trees, the limbs
on the branches may catch the roller feed
control bar as they pass by them and shut
the rollers off.
b. Be aware of the size and shape of the mate-
rial, crotchety, curved branches and logs
can move in unpredictable ways as they
pass through the feed rollers. Large curved
pieces should be cut to smaller straighter
sections.
c. Hold small diameter branches / limbs
together in a bundle and feed in simultane-
ously.
d. Place short branches on top of longer ones,
to avoid reaching into the hopper.
e. Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor
is warmed up and the rotor is up to speed.
f. Move the feed control bar into the feed posi-
tion to start the feed rollers turning
g. Stand to the side of the feed table, slowly
slide material into the feed table and move it
into the feed rollers.
h. Do not force the material into the rollers, as
the material engages the roller, the roller will
draw the material in.
i. Ensure your wood chip pile is contained and
doesn't affect the immediate work area.
Caution:
Do not reach into the feed hopper at any time, use
a stick or branch to push any piece of material into the rollers
that does not move on its own. If the jam persists then stop the
engine and wait for the rotor to stop and then clear the jam.
Do not chance getting your hand caught in the rollers.
