SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
HANDLE blades with extreme caution to
avoid injury. Gloves should always be
worn when handling the cutter blades.
THE drive belts should be connected
while changing blades, as this will restrict
sudden movement of the rotor.
THE major components of this machine
are heavy. Lifting equipment must be
used for disassembly.
CLEAN machines are safer and easier to
service.
AVOID contact with hydraulic oil.
ALWAYS IMMOBILISE THE ENGINE BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK ON
THE CHIPPER BY REMOVING THE KEY AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY.
Only fit genuine Timberwolf replacement blades, screws and chipper spares. Failure to do so
will result in the invalidation of the warranty and may result in damage to the chipper, personal
injury or even loss of life.
SAFE MAINTENANCE
BATTERY REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE
CHECK FITTINGS
SPARES
The Timberwolf TW 280TFTR is subject to large vibrations during the normal course of operation.
Consequently there is always a possibility that nuts and bolts will work themselves loose. It is
important that periodic checks are made to ensure the security of all fasteners. Fasteners should be
tightened using a torque wrench to the required torque (see below).
Uncalibrated torque wrenches
can be inaccurate by as much as 25%. It is therefore essential that a calibrated torque wrench
is used to achieve the tightening torques listed below.
