6 INCH CHIPPER
ENGLISH
FEATURES & CONTROLS
1. CHUTE EXTENSION TRAY
The feed chute has an extension tray that folds down.
Raise the extension tray to an upright position and
secure with latch before towing the machine.
2. DIGITAL DISPLAY CONTROLLER
Used to control the chipper. See Sections 4 and 6 for
more information.
3. DISCHARGE CAP
Directs the discharge of material vertically. Adjust the
discharge cap by turning the knobs located on the
side. Turn knob counterclockwise to loosen discharge
cap. Adjust to desired position. Turn knob clockwise
to secure discharge cap.
4. DISCHARGE TUBE
Directs the discharge of chipped material horizontally.
The discharge tube can be rotated 360° horizontally
by removing the pin and rotating the discharge
tube until the discharge faces the desired position.
Replace the pin in one of the holes on the base of the
discharge.
5. ROTOR ACCESS COVER
Tilts up to expose rotor.
6. ROTOR LOCK
Use the rotor lock to hold the rotor in place when
doing any maintenance work. See Section 5.2.
7. FEED CHUTE
Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute,
through the feed roller, to the chipper blades.
8. TOP SAFETY BAR
In the event of an emergency, push the top safety bar
and feed roller will reverse.
9. FEED ROLLER LIFT JACK
Used to lift the feed roller. The feed roller can be
raised to inspect and service the machine and to
clear a plugged rotor. Secure the feed roller in the
raised position using the provided snap pin.
10. FEED ROLLER SPEED CONTROL
Controls the speed of the feed roller. Allows the
operator to have better control over the material
being fed into the chipper. Turning the knob clockwise
will decrease the speed of the feed roller. Turning the
knob counterclockwise will increase the speed of the
feed roller.
11. HITCH JACK
Used to adjust the height of the hitch. Always have in
UP position and clear from ground when transporting
the chipper. When disconnected from tow vehicle,
place in DOWN position on a level surface.
12. MANUAL CONTAINER
Conveniently holds your manuals.
13. REAR STABILIZER
Prevents the chipper from tipping when disconnected
from tow vehicle. Always have in UP position and
clear from ground when transporting the chipper.
When disconnected from tow vehicle, place in DOWN
position on a level surface.
14. KNEE BAR
In the event of an emergency, push the bar in and
forward feed will stop. Hold the knee bar reset button
on controller to resume operation.
15. SAFETY CHAINS
Safety chains are used, during towing, to prevent
the chipper from completely separating from the tow
vehicle in the event the chipper detaches from the
tow vehicle. Cross the safety chains under the hitch
and connect to tow vehicle.
16. COUPLER
2 inch coupler for non-CE compliant models. 50mm
coupler for CE compliant models. Always use safety
chains when towing.
17. HYDRAULIC FLUID TANK
Check level of hydraulic fluid before each use.
18. FUEL TANK
Fuel level indicator is located on top.
19. DRIVE BELT SHIELD
Never remove shields when in use.
20. ENGINE THROTTLE
This controls the speed of the engine. Increase the
throttle by moving the lever to the FAST position. To
decrease the throttle, move the lever to the SLOW
position.
21. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE
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.
