FEATURES & CONTROLS
Understanding how your machine works will help you achieve the best results when using your chipper. The following
descriptions define the features and controls of your machine.
1. CHUTE EXTENSION TRAY
CE compliant models. An additional safety feature
to keep the operator from touching or being pulled
into the chipper blades. The extension should be
unlatched and rotated open on its hinge when
transporting the chipper.
2. DISCHARGE CAP
Chipped materials exit through the discharge cap. A
discharge tube is an available alternative.
3. ROTOR ACCESS COVER
Remove to expose chipper blades.
4. CHIPPER CHUTE
Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute,
through the feed roller, to the chipper blades.
5. BELT ENGAGEMENT LEVER
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must
be in the disengaged (UP) position. With the engine
at 1/4 throttle, carefully engage the rotor by slowly
pushing the engagement handle down, allowing the
rotor to speed up gradually. Engaging the chipper too
quickly with the engine at full or half throttle will bog
down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt.
See Sections 4.2 and 4.4.
6. PTO DRIVESHAFT
Connects chipper to tractor PTO shaft. Avoid driveline
angles over 20 degrees on PTO shaft when unit is
in use. NOTE: Minimum and maximum telescoping
on the PTO shaft is 18.11" to 24.49". This will leave
a 6.43" overlap. See Section 2.4 for instructions on
checking shaft length.
7. FRONT BELT SHIELD
Covers the chipper drive pulley.
8. REAR BELT SHIELD
Covers the PTO driven pulley.
9. CAT. I THREE-POINT CONNECTION
Mounts chipper to tractor three-point hitch.
10. BLADE HARDWARE ACCESS PANEL
Allows access to chipper blade hardware.
