Do not work in front of the
feeder if not necessary!
Feeder reels can wrench the
wood up or to the right.
Make sure that your clothes
or hair do not get tangled
in the revolving parts of the
appliance when it is turned
on.
Feeding rope or barbed wire into the chipper
is dangerous, because the rope can get
caught on the operator and pull him/her with
it to the feed funnel.
Never push limbs into the feed chute when
the appliance is turned on.
When chipping a large tree with a low capacity
tractor, the tractor’s revolutions will endeavour
to fall especially towards the end of a long tree.
Stop the feeding occasionally by switching the
control handle to STOP -position.
When the revolutions have increased sufficiently,
continue feeding by switching the control handle
to FEED F -position.
If you need to remove the tree from the feed
funnel in the middle of chipping, switch the
control handle to REVERSE R -position and
hold it there until the feeder reel releases the
tree.
Oil will heat when travelling
through the hydraulic pump,
hydraulicmotor and the
valves. The heating can be
considerable if the tractor
has a small hydraulic tank.
Check the oil temperatures twice an hour to
prevent the oil from overheating. If the oil
overheats, let it cool down by stopping the
chipping.

CAUTION!
!
Observe the revolutions of
the feeder reels. If the feeder
reel stops, switch the control
handle to REVERSE R
position.
If the feeder reels are stopped when the control
handle is in FEED FORWARD F position, the
oil flows through the pressure limit valves and
heats very quickly.
SETTING THE FEEDER SPEED
Do not set the feeder speed
when the feeder reels are
revolving. This damage the
valve. Stop the feeder reels
for the duration of the setting
and try the speed afterwards.
Using the flow control valve, set the revolution
speed of the feeder reel to correspond with
the cutting speed of the blades. By turning
the knob anticlockwise, the revolution speed
of the feeder reel grows, correspondingly by
turning it clockwise, the revolution speed will
diminish. See fig 4d.
The speed is suitable when the wood does
not push against the grinding wheel or the
feeder reel spikes do not slow down the fee-
ding of wood.
Make sure that you are using clean oil in the
hydraulic system. Dirt in the oil will damage
valves and hydraulic motors.
