4.21 Emergency Stop Configuration
This 4003 woodchipper is equipped with an emergency stop circuit
that can be wired into your tractors seat switch to allow the user to
stop the chipper in an emergency situation without having to access
the tractors controls. This can be wired either to the seat pressure
switch circuit or the PTO Seat Up switch circuit.
The seat pressure switch senses a person sitting on the tractor and
turns off the engine when the driver gets off of the tractor for safety
reasons. Wiring the chipper emergency switch to the seat pressure
switch circuit bypasses the seat switch when the chipper is
connected. This is safe to operate as the circuit will not allow the
tractor to start if the seat switch and chipper are both disconnected,
one of them must be connected for the tractor to operate.
The seat up switch is the better circuit to connect the chipper to as in
some cases there is a delay built into the seat pressure circuit which
will cut down on the effectiveness of the emergency stop. This circuit
may not be present in all tractors, but if equipped we suggest using
this circuit. When the chipper is connected, and the E-Stop button is
in the up position the seat pressure switch will not work.
Warning!!!:
Do Not connect the E-Stop circuit to your tractor
unless you are using this woodchipper. If the woodchipper is not in
use always reconnect the seat switch. This could lead to personal
injury or death.
1. Locate your tractors seat pressure switch wiring, or PTO seat up
switch wiring if your tractor is equipped with this option. This
information can be found in the tractor owners manual, or by calling
the dealer where your tractor was purchased. The switch will have
two wires coming from it, these are the ones needed for this
installation.
2. Ensure that the tractor is turned off before doing any work.
