Couple the implement to the tractor’s rear three-point hitch.
•
Connecting PTO-shaft. Adjust the length, if necessary. (See PTO-shaft manual)
•
Anchor the chain well.
•

UNCOUPLING
•
Reduced tractor engine speed to idle, turn off the engine.
•
Make sure the gear shaft has stopped spinning before uncoupling of the PTO shaft .
•
Before dismounting the chipper from the tractor, park it on a flat, hard surface.
•
Make sure it can not tip over.
CHIPPING
•
Get familiar with the chipper without starting it.
•
It is important that the chipper is stable during work. The chipper must not be lowered
too much in relation to the tractor. The PTO shaft may become loose during operation.
•
It is important to always keep a safe distance to the place where the chips are thrown out.
Aim the chute so that the chips that are ejected does not pose a risk to the operator or
anyone else.
•
Starting the chipper carefully with the tractor at low speed. Then increase the speed slow-
ly to the right chipping speed (540/1000 rpm) IMPORTANT! When you turn off the chip-
per, the chipper disc continues to rotate, wait until the disc has stopped spinning before
any action is taken on the machine.
•
Never put any part of the body into the hopper or into any other part of the chipper while
the machine is running.
•
Before feeding material to be chipped, ensure that the wood fed into the chipper is free
of metal, earth, nails, stones, etc.
•
For manual input, never work in front of the feed hopper.
•
Make sure that no one has hands or arms next to the roller.
•
Insert the branches to the chipper and the chipping begins, then let go of the branches
as soon as the process starts
AFTER USE
•
Parking is not allowed with the implement above ground, park with the implement rest-
ing on the ground.
•
Clear of the implement from dirt if necessary.
N.B.!
The operator must always have a constant
view of the work area. If it is not possible,
the operator must work with an assistant.
