OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AUTO CONTROLS
The no stress unit controls the feed rate of the material going into the chipping chamber. If the rotor
speed is below the predetermined level, the no stress unit will not allow the feed rollers to work in
either forward or reverse, until the rotor speed rises above the predetermined level. At this point, the
feed rollers will start turning without warning.
Push the
RED STOP
button or push the
RED SAFETY BAR
(whichever is the quickest for you
to reach). Turn off the engine ignition key.
The emergency stop will prevent any more material being fed into the chipper. The rotor will still be
turning. The engine must be powered down to stop the rotor.
