Key Operating Instructions
The hardness of the wood depends on the wood type, the time between pruning and chipping and how dry
the branches are. The machine performs best if the branches are chipped right after pruning. The
GTS1300SH & GTS1300S is made only for chipping newly cut wood having a maximum diameter of 75mm.
It is prohibited to feed in any other materials into the machine ie metal, stones, plastics, paper, processed
timber or any other materials.
Before starting the machine, check that the input tube is empty, if not clean input tube with a stick or long
handled implement.
Ensure that machine is placed in a clear area and is on level and stable ground. Mark up an area at least 3
metres wide and 12 metres long on the discharge side. While chipping, the user must take care that no one
can get hurt with flying chips. Use red/white safety tape to define this area.
Do not allow people or animals to enter into this area while the chipper is in operation.
Setup a clear area for the discharge of the chippings to accumulate in one pile. Set the deflector plate on the
discharge tube to roughly work out the deflection angle, adjust as necessary after test chipping.
TO START THE ENGINE - Turn on the fuel, ensure the engine switch is in the ON position, the two
Emergency Stop buttons are in the ON (open) position : check by twisting the red knob clockwise, the input
hopper and discharge chutes are bolted down and the micro switches are activated. Set the engine throttle
lever to half speed ( you may need to use the choke lever for a few seconds for a cold start),pull the starter
cord in a medium fluid manner to start the engine.
OPERATING THE CHIPPER - With the engine speed set at full throttle, start to feed, one at a time, the
narrow end of the pruned materials into the input tube, when these are pulled in let them go, the chipper will
automatically draw the materials further into the input tube. Cut side branches thicker than 3cm off and feed
them in separately. Large branches will have to be pruned down to manageable size. Do not force or over
feed the input tube with materials. Do not feed in loose leaves .Long branches could lash into your face,
keep a safe distance and always wear face protection.
In case of an emergency during operation - Activate the Emergency Stop Button to shut the machine off.
TO STOP - Allow a few minutes for the last of any chippings to exit before stopping the engine. Reduce the
throttle speed to low and activate the Emergency Stop button by foot, turn the engine switch to OFF, turn the
engine fuel tap to OFF.
