Upper Rotor Housing
5. Pull out any material remaining in the feed hopper and
discharge hood. Use a stick to free up any material jammed
into the discharge hood.
6. Make sure all the material is removed and nothing is
jammed or wedged between the input opening and the rotor
before start up.
If debris remains jammed or wedged between the input
opening and the rotor, proceed to Step 7.
If material gets jammed in the chipper to the point where the
rotor speed slows to zero, the P3 system shuts the engine
down
.
Chipper Severely Plugged
If the previous steps do not clear the blockage, the upper feed
roller can be raised to clear the debris between the input opening
and the rotor. That material can then be pulled back out of the
feed table.
7. Remove the Bridge Guard Cover to access the end of the
Toplink.
8. Remove the pin and extend the Toplink out so the rod end
can be pinned to the Bridge.

Raise Upper Feed Roller
10. With the upper roller raised, carefully reach into the roller
housing from inside the feed hopper to clear out the debris.
11. If required to dislodge material in or around the rotor, slowly
turn the rotor by hand very carefully.
Do not reach into the
roller housing while the rotor is moving.
12. With the debris cleared, extend the Toplink to lower the
upper roller back into position.
13. Disconnect the Toplink from the bridge, shorten it up, and
reconnect it to its support. Reinstall the bridge cover.
14. Restart the chipper and resume operations.
IMPORTANT! Do not operate the chipper with the Toplink
connected to the bridge. Damage to the machine can occur.
