12. Unplugging:
Although the machine is designed to han-
dle a wide variety of material without any
problem, occasionally it plugs. When the
machine plugs, follow this procedure to
unplug:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children.
b. Reverse the feed rollers to remove the
material from the feed hopper. Be sure
all the material is out and nothing is
jammed or wedged between the rollers
and the rotor. If this does not unplug
the chipper or the engine is stopped, the
plug must be removed by hand.
c. Stop the engine, remove the ignition key
and place it in your pocket and wait for all
moving parts to stop before unplugging.
d. Pull the material out of the discharge
hood. Use a stick to poke loose any ma-
terial jammed into the discharge hood.
Do not allow anything to remain in this
area.
e.
Severe plug:
• Loosen the feed roller frame anchor
nuts and raise the feed hopper. Re-
move material from inside the roller
compartment.
• Clean out the discharge area/rotor.
• Open the rotor cover and clean out
the housing. Be sure to turn the
rotor by hand to be sure there is
nothing jammed between the rotor
and stationary blade.
• Close, install and fold down all com-
ponents opened to unplug. Tighten
fasteners to their specified torque.
f. Check that everyone is clear of machine
before restarting engine.
g. Start the engine and resume working.
