MOUNTING OF THE CHIPPER AND PRE-OPERATION
INSPECTIONS
1. For mounting or dismounting the chipper, always
turn off the tractor and apply the parking brake
before entering the area between chipper and
tractor.
2. Check the PTO drive shaft for damage and make
sure it has the appropriate length.
3. Make sure the connection shields of the PTO drive
shaft are seating correctly and the holding chain
of the connection shields is fastened.
4. Make sure all protective and safety devices of the
chipper are installed. Never remove any protective
device during operation.
5. Before operation, please make sure there are no
foreign objects in the feed hopper.
6. Before operation, please make sure there are no
foreign objects in the chipper. Rotate the shaft to
make sure that the cutting disk can rotate freely.
7. Make sure that the water drainage holes on the
lower chamber are open and that the disk is not
frozen up.
8. During operation, the chipper must stand on level
and hard ground.
9. As compared to the tractor, the chipper must not
be lowered excessively. Otherwise, the PTO drive
shaft connection may loosen during operation.
10. Direct the discharge pipe so that the thrown out
chips do not pose a risk to the operator of the
chipper or to or anyone else. Always keep a safe
distance to the discharge position of the chips.
STARTING THE CHIPPER
• Start the chipper with caution while operating the
tractor at low speed. Slowly increase the speed
until the required chipping speed has been achie-
ved (540/1000 rpm). CAUTION! Do not exceed the
max. chipper speed of 1000 rpm.
• Now, the chipper is ready for operation.
