3. Operating the wood chipper-shredder
Start the motor of the tractor and allow it to warm up first. Engage the cardan with
the motor running at half throttle. Then push the motor to full throttle.
Feed the branches into the inlet funnel as you let go of them. The branches and
twigs should be pulled into the inlet funnel by themselves as it were. If this is not the
case, the blades may be unduly worn or they may be improperly aligned. Lateral
branches that are wider than 3cm in diameter must be trimmed first and fed into the
funnel separately.
PLEASE
OBSERVE
THE
FOLLOWING!!!
IF ANYTHING UNTOWARD OCCURS
,
NEVER HESITATE TO SWITCH OFF THE MOTOR OR IF
AVAILABLE
,
TO USE THE EMERGENCY STOP
.
The ejector pipe should always be firmly secured onto the machine, preventing the
chipped material from being flung out and being propelled upward so that no one
gets injured.
At all times, make sure that the inlet funnel is tightly secured with the 2 bolts and nuts
supplied!!!
4. Transport
When the machine is being shifted, make sure the cardan is duly switched off.
Various maintenance and check points of the shredder
Checks and servicing operations must be performed with the motor and driving gear
fully switched off.
Cleaning the shredder: never spray onto the ball bearings or the V-belts using a high-
pressure cleaner. Doing so may cause water to infiltrate the bearings (causing the
warranty to be forfeited).
Before storing your machine away, make sure that it is been properly cleaned and
serviced. Use oil to protect the blades, the rotor blade drum and the bearings against
corrosion.
