SHORTENING THE PTO SHAFT
Connect the device to the tractor.
Measure the distance between the splined
shafts (Distance A)
First cut the thicker shaft shield to the correct
length (1). Remember to leave at least a
40 mm clearance. Then cut a similar length
off the profile tube (2). Shorten the other half
of the PTO shaft in the same way. File off the
burr.
Interconnect the tubes and check that the shaft
has been shortened enough by moving the
machine gently. Ensure that there is a 40 mm
clearance. Also move the machine sideways
to check that the shaft moves freely.

EMPTYING THE CHIPPER AFTER USE
Before stopping the chipper, chip about 80-100 mm
wood. Let the blades cut a few centimetres, after
which reverse the feed direction to clean the blades.
Leave the tree into the feeder to remind you that
the chipper has been emptied. This way you will
avoid a possible jam when you turn on the chipper
next time.
When you stop the chipper,
wait for all movement to
stop. The grinding wheel will
continue to revolve like a
flywheel once the power
outlet has been switched
off.
