NO STRESS PROGRAMMING
Press the black programming button (see p.22)
for about three seconds while the chipper is
running unloaded at around 100-300 revs below
the tractor’s chipping speed. Next, raise the
speed to match the chipping speed, after which
chipping can begin.
If the tractor has a wide torque range and you
feel that the No Stress function is interrupting
the feed too frequently, you can try re-program-
ming at lower rpm.
Programming example:
The max. Rpm of the tractor is 2400. Run the
tractor at 2250 rpm with the chipper also run-
ning unloaded and press the black program-
ming button for about three seconds. Then
raise the speed to 2400 rpm. Chipping can now
commence.
CHIPPING
CH380HF is designed only
for grapple loader feeding.
The danger area radius is
20m. Ensure that the danger
area is clear of people .
1. Make sure the feed chute is empty.
2. Turn the manual switch to the feed position
FF (or press the right-hand foot pedal).
3. Check before feeding material into the chute
that the material to be chipped contains no
nails, stones etc.
4. Feed the wood into the chute using a grapple
loader. Release the grapple as soon as the feed
rollers begin to draw in the wood.
5. If necessary, adjust the rotational speed of
the feed rollers, see the section ”Feed speed
control”.
6. Discontinue feeding while adjusting the
discharge direction.
7. If you need to remove wood from the feed
chute in the middle of chipping, turn the manual
switch to the reverse position REV (left foot
pedal). Keep the switch in the REV position until
the feed roller releases the wood.
Oil heats up as it circulates
through the hydraulic pump,
motor and valves. Check
the oil temperature twice
each hour to prevent
overheating If the oil heats
excessively, stop chipping and allow the oil
to cool.
STOPPING THE CHIPPER
VIA THE TRACTOR DRIVE
Slow the tractor rpm to idling speed before
disengaging the PTO. This is especially
important with tractors equipped with a power
take-off brake (e.g. Ford). Move the PTO control
lever slowly to the OFF position.
