Operating Instructions
BXC34
Cart Chipper
26
•
When the rotor is up to speed, carefully slide the material
into the chipper feed hopper and into the rotor. The rotor
will tend to draw the material through.
•
Feed the material into the hopper at a slow, steady rate.
•
If the rotor begins to slow down, stop feeding material. Let
the rotor get back up to speed, then continue.
•
Do not reach into the chipper feed hopper further than the
hopper opening.
•
Use a stick or branch to push any material in that does not
move on its own.

Chipper Feed Hopper
Some Helpful Tips:
•
Delimb branches that are greater than 1" (2-1/2 cm)
before you feed them into the hopper. This can prevent
the tree from jamming in the feed hopper.
•
Place the chipper in-line with material so it can be fed
straight into the feed hopper. Loading is easier and
material handling is limited, preventing slipping or
tripping.
•
Use a stick or branch to push in any material that does
not move on its own.
6.12.1 Collector Bag (Option)
A mulch collector bag can be attached to the discharge chute.
The mulch bag holds 2.7 ft
³
(28 L) of material and is made of
a mildew-resistant, synthetic material. The porous fabric allows
air from the rotor to pass through without restricting collection
of the chips.
•
Adjust the deflector up and slip the collector bag over the
end of the discharge chute.
•
Use the strap on the end of the bag to attach and secure it
to the chute.
•
When full, loosen the strap and remove the bag from the
chute. Unzip the bottom of the bag to empty it.
