INSPECTIONS
1. For mounting or dismounting the chipper, always turn off
the tractor and apply the parking brake before ente-
ring the area between chipper and tractor.
2. Before connecting the hydraulic hoses, make sure the hyd-
raulic ports of the tractor are depressurized. Moreo-
ver, ensure the correct connection of the hydraulic
supply and return lines on the tractor.
3. Before switching on the electric power supply, check the
plug, the socket and the visible cables for damage.
4. Check the PTO drive shaft for damage and make sure it
has the appropriate length.
5. Make sure the connection shields of the PTO drive shaft
are seating correctly and the holding chain of the
connection shields is fastened.
6. Make sure all protective and safety devices of the chipper
are installed. Never remove any protective device du-
ring operation.
7. Before operation, please make sure there are no foreign
objects in the feed unit.
8. Before operation, please make sure there are no foreign
objects in the chipper. Rotate the shaft to make sure
that the cutting disk can rotate freely.
9. Make sure that the water drainage holes on the lower
chamber are open and that the disk is not frozen up.
10. During operation, the chipper must stand on level and
hard ground.
11. As compared to the tractor, the chipper must not be lo-
wered excessively. Otherwise, the PTO drive shaft
connection may loosen during operation.
12. Direct the discharge pipe so that the thrown out chips
do not pose a risk to the operator of the chipper or
to or anyone else. Always keep a safe distance to the
discharge position of the chips.
