WARNING! Do NOT
disengage the belt drive with the chipper running at full revs, as this will cause friction and vibration
on the belt drive.
Processing fibrous material
The C7 can process palm fronds, flax, cabbage tree leaves and other similar fibrous material. The machines cutting disk is
cantilevered (supported on the engine side with two bearings), therefore there is no risk of anything fibrous wrapping around the
shaft and working its way into the bearings. The resulting output is not as consistent as that of branch material due to the fibrous
nature. When processing fibrous material, take note of the following points:
Blades must be sharp to process fibrous material
Fibrous material is best introduced to the machine as a bundle
Fibrous material should be introduced slowly into the machine. Tease the material in and out while feeding it into the
cutting mechanism, ensuring it is not drawn through the machine without being cut properly
Do NOT
extend hands past the rubber flap while doing so
Fibrous material is processed more effectively when it is green rather than when dried
Shutdown procedure
Turn the throttle lever to the “min”
position and wait for the rotor to slow
down.
Disengage the belt drive by rotating
the engagement handle anti clock-wise
until it comes to a stop.
Turn the engine switch and fuel lever
to the
“off” position
.
