Maximum capacity is for the C40 is 178 mm
It is recommended to keep a wooden stick handy, approx. 60 mm diameter x 1000 mm long for:
•
Pushing in short, brushy and very leafy materials
•
Keeping the inlet table clear
Outlet chute adjustment
The C40 is fitted with a freely rotating outlet chute, allowing the operator to precisely
control the direction of material discharge from the machine. The chute can easily be
adjusted by undoing the clamping bolt, adjusting the outlet chute direction as needed, then
doing the clamping bolt back up. The outlet chute height can also be adjusted by cranking
the swivel handle on the back of the outlet chute.
Additionally, the top of the outlet chute is fitted with two deflector plates that can be
adjusted to control the angle and distance of discharged material. A wingnut is located on
the side of the upper deflector to lock it in place.
