LIFTING
The lifting points are marked
on each machine with hook
symbols
Only use appropriate lifting equipment of
sufficient lifting capacity to lift the equipment.
Lifting belts, cables and chains used for lifting
must be checked regularly.
The weight of the load to be lifted must be
known. Never exceed the lifting capacity limit
specified by the lifting device manufacturer.
Avoid lifting equipment over areas where people
may be present.
MOUNTING
o Attach the chipper to the tractor’s 3-point
hitch.
o
When handling the chipper, ensure that it is
coupled to the 3-point hitch.
o Check that the power take-off (PTO)
drive shaft is the correct length. For details
on shortening the PTO shaft see the
Power Take-Off Shaft” section.
o Check that the PTO shaft shields are in
place and the shield rotation prevention
chain is attached.
POWER TAKE-OFF SHAFT
Tractor’s PTO drive shaft
dimensions should be
1 3/4” to maximize its
operating life.
PTO shaft recommendations:
o
Bondioli & Pavesi 10 (106 kW / 540 rpm)
with overrunning clutch
o Walterscheid W2600 + F3 with overrunning
clutch
If the tractor is equipped with a power-take-off
break, use the overrunning clutch.
If the PTO shaft is too long
it can cause damage to the
chipper’s bearings or
the tractor’s power take-
off shaft when using the
3-point hitch when cutting.
