the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade.
Be sure to tighten the blade mounting bolts to their
specified torque when re-installing the blades to the
rotor.
The stationary blade is designed with 4 sharp corners
that can be utilized. When the corner facing the rotor
blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install with
a different corner facing the rotor blade. Use the
stationary blade to set the clearance to the rotor blade
when re-installing. Be sure to tighten mounting bolts to
their specified torque.
24. Hydraulic Feed Control:
The machine with the hydraulic feed hopper is
designed with a control lever to place the hopper in
FEED - OFF/NEUTRAL - REVERSE.
Pull all the way out to feed, push in to the first
detent for off or neutral and fully in for reverse. In
reverse the material in the hopper is pulled out of the
rotor.
Use reverse when the rotor is overloaded, jammed
or plugged.
IMPORTANT
Check the function of the control lever when
attaching the hydraulic lines to the tractor. The hopper
must feed in when the lever is moved out. If it does not,
reverse the hoses. The control lever must function
like the drawing on each side of the hopper or the
hoses must be reversed .
Use the flow divider valve to set the speed of the
feed hopper. Use the quality of the job being done to
establish the required feed speed. Increase the speed
when chipping brush or twigs. Decrease the speed
when chipping hard, solid material or when the
engine is being pulled down.
25. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Each person must wear appropriate personal
protective equipment whenever operating the chipper
or working in the vicinity. This equipment is designed
to prevent injury to any personnel in the area. This list
includes but is not limited to:
•
Safety shoes with slip resistant soles.
•
Safety goggles or face shield.
•
Hearing protection.
•
Heavy or leather gloves.
26. Operating Hints:
a. Keep the working area clean and free of debris to
prevent slipping or tripping. Operate only on level
ground.
b. Do not place hands or any body parts into the feed
hopper during operation. Use a stick or branch to push
material into the rotor when it goes past the curtain in
the feed hopper.
c. Do not point discharge at people, animals or
buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough to
cause injury.
d. Use care when feeding material into the chipper.
Do not send metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other
foreign material into the wood chipper. If foreign
material enters chipper, stop machine turn engine off
and place ignition key in your pocket and wait for all
moving parts to stop before removing material and/or
unplugging. Inspect machine for damaged or loose
parts before resuming work.
4.9 TRANSPORTING
