3 PH Roller-feed Chipper
Operating Instructions
45
5.
Make sure the wood chip pile is contained and does not
affect the immediate work area.
TIP: Delimb large branches and trees. The limbs on
the branches may catch the roller feed control bar
and shut the rollers off.
Be aware of the size and shape of the material.
Crotchety, curved branches and logs can move in
unpredictable ways as they pass through the feed
rollers. Large curved pieces should be cut to smaller
straighter sections.
When feeding bushy, branched material, have an
assistant positioned at the roller control bar to keep
branches from hitting it and deactivating the rollers.
Hold small diameter branches / limbs together in a
bundle and feed in together.
Place short branches on top of longer ones, to avoid
reaching into the hopper.
P3 PULSE Equipped Models
(BX52RI, BX72RI, BX102RI / RPI)
•
P3 PULSE Electronic Control System prevents the tractor
engine from getting bogged down if material is put into
the chipper too quickly. Feed roller speed is regulated by
monitoring the rotor rpm.
•
Once the rotor is up to speed, P3 PULSE starts the feed
rollers when the feed control handle is placed in the
Forward (feed) position.
•
As material is put into the chipper, P3 PULSE continually
monitors rotor speed. If the rotor slows down under load
below a lower speed setting, P3 PULSE auto-reverses the
feed rollers. Wood is then pulled away from the rotor giving
it the opportunity to regain speed.
•
Once back at operating rpm, P3 PULSE automatically
resumes forward feed.
Auxiliary Power Pack-Equipped Machines
The Power Pack for the BXR Series chipper is powered by the
PTO of your tractor and must be installed before attaching the
tractor to the chipper.
1.
Follow the power pack installation instructions to install the
power pack.
2.
Check hydraulic level in the reservoir. Top up if required.
3.
Connect hydraulic hoses and engage the PTO. Operate the
roller system and check for leaks.
6.5 Stopping Procedure
1.
Stop feeding material into the hopper.
2.
Place the feed control bar in neutral position.
3.
Slow engine RPM.
4.
Turn off tractor hydraulic control to feed rollers.
5.
Disengage PTO.
6.
Stop engine, remove ignition key and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from rotating parts. Wait for all
parts to stop moving before attempting to access
the machine. Rotor continues to turn for a few
minutes after the engine has stopped.
