STOPPING A TRACTOR-DRIVEN CHIPPER
Slow the tractor engine speed to idle before disengaging
the PTO. This is especially important with tractors featu-
ring a PTO brake (e.g., Ford). Turn the PTO control lever
slowly to the OFF position.
After stopping the chipper, wait for
all movement to stop. The disk conti-
nues rotating like a fly-wheel after the
PTO is disengaged. Please wait until
the disk has stopped completely be-
fore performing any further actions.
The chipper requires approx. 1 ½ minutes to slow
down from maximum speed to complete stop (1000
rpm -> 0 rpm).
STOPPING A HYDRAULIC MOTOR DRIVEN
CHIPPER
IMPORTANT! When the chipper is
driven by the HD 50, it is extremely
important to slow the driving engine
speed to idle before disconnecting
the hydraulics, to prevent cavitation.
