STARTING TO CHIP
CHIPPING
WARNING
Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective
guarding and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life
.
Wood up to the recommended diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Put the butt end in first and
engage it with the feed rollers. The hydraulic feed rollers will pull the branch into the machine quite
quickly. Large diameter material will have its feed rate automatically controlled by the no stress unit.
Sometimes a piece of wood that is a particularly awkward shape is too strong for the feed rollers to
break. This will cause the top roller to either bounce up and down on the wood, or both rollers to stall.
If this occurs, press the
BLUE REVERSE
button until the material has been released. Pull the
material out of the feed funnel and trim it so the chipper can handle it.
Both feed rollers should always turn at the same speed. If one or both rollers stop or suddenly slow
down it may be that a piece of wood has become stuck behind one of the rollers. If this occurs, press
the
BLUE REVERSE
button and hold for 2 seconds - then repress
GREEN FEED
button. This should
enable the rollers to free the offending piece of material and continue rotating at the correct speed. If
the rollers continue to stall in the 'forward feed' or 'reverse feed' position push the
RED STOP
BUTTON
, turn the engine off, remove the ignition key and investigate.

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING TESTS
to check safety equipment - this sequence
of tests will only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are carried out daily.
Observing the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are working correctly. This is also
a good opportunity to remind all operators of the control and emergency stop systems.
