Using the Chipper Hopper
The design of the Chipper Hopper mounted on the side of the machine is to chip wood only. The revolving
Chipper Knife mounted on a flywheel turns branches fed into the Chipper Hopper into “chips”. The Chipper
can chip twigs and branches up to 3-1/2" in diameter. Cut your materials into manageable lengths before
feeding them into the Chipper Hopper.
THE CHIPPER HOPPER MUST BE SECURELY BOLTED TO THE SIDE OF YOUR DR 10 HP CHIPPER BEFORE
USING THE MACHINE!
•
Feed the branch into Chipper Hopper keeping the branch at the same angle as Chipper Hopper.
•
As the branch becomes short and is inside the Chipper Hopper, finish processing it by pushing it into
the Chipper with the next branch.
•
If the branches to be processed are 1" or larger in diameter, you should feed only one (1) branch at a
time into the Chipper. You can feed more than one branch at a time into the Chipper if the branches
are smaller than 1" in diameter.
•
Do not force material into the Chipper. If the machine does not chip well, the Chipper Knife may need
to be sharpened or replaced, or the gap between the Knife and the Wear Plate needs adjusting. See
page 33.
•
Extremely hard knots will not process very well. Push any short stubs that have not self-fed through the
Chipper, through with the next branch to be chipped.
NEVER THROW REMAINING STUBS OR KNOTS INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER; DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
•
Cut the material to be chipped into manageable lengths of no more than five or six feet long before
chipping them.
•
Overloading the Chipper Hopper will cause the rotor speed to decrease. If you hear the engine RPM
decreasing, stop feeding material into the Chipper Hopper until the engine has returned to full speed.
IF YOU JAM THE MACHINE AND DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE, IT CAN DAMAGE THE MACHINE. THIS
DAMAGE CAN BE COSTLY AND MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY STOP THE ENGINE IF THE MACHINE BECOMES JAMMED, WAIT
FIVE (5) MINUTES TO MAKE CERTAIN THE FLYWHEEL, AND ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP AND COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK
PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
•
NEVER allow processed material to build up within 3" of the discharge chute opening. Move the DR 10
HP CHIPPER or the pile as needed. Failure to do so could result in unnecessary jamming of the
machine.
•
To move a pile of processed material, use a spade, rake, or long handle tool. NEVER use your hands or
feet!
