4.7.2 CHIPPING SCREEN
To begin chipping, the user needs to enter the Chipping
Screen (see Figure 4.2). This can be done in one of two
ways:
1. Selecting Chipping Screen from the Main Menu and
pressing Enter, or
2. Pressing the Chipping Screen button to the right of
the Navigation Button.
In the upper left hand corner of the screen is a reminder
that the feed roller speed can be adjusted. The adjustment
occurs at the control valve, the location of which varies by
model. In general, the speed of the feed roller should be
slower for large diameter material and faster for smaller
diameter material. See chipper owner's manual for
detailed instructions.
Below the Feed Roller Speed image is an empty area of
the screen that will flash Check blades/anvil when the
chipper blades or anvil require service.
After servicing the blades and anvil, the service indicator
will need to be reset. See Section 4.7.3 for information on
resetting the service indicators.
The large indicator in the upper right hand corner and the
text box below it will give one of four indications:
●
Flashing Green –
The chipping rotor has not achieved
enough RPM to begin chipping. It is not possible to
engage the feed roller in the forward direction when
the indicator is flashing green. The text box below the
indicator will display "RPM Not Met."
