11.OPERATING THE CHIPPER
11.1.INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO
OPERATION
D
Park the chipper on level, hard ground.
D
Stop the tractor’s engine and ensure that the
chipper is fully stopped before carrying out
the inspections.
D
Check that the disk rotates freely by turning
the shaft, and ensure that there are no fo-
reign objects inside the chipper.
D
Ensure that all protective devices are intact
and in place. Removal of the covers is prohi-
bited.
D
Direct the discharge pipe so that flying chips
do not pose a risk to the operator or anyone
else.
11.2.STARTING THE CHIPPER
D
Start the chipper at low tractor engine speed
and increase the speed slowly to the requi-
red chipping speed (540/1,000 rpm).
D
The chipper is now ready for chipping.
11.3.STOPPING A TRACTOR---DRIVEN
CHIPPER
D
Slow the tractor engine speed to idle before
disengaging the PTO. This is especially im-
portant with tractors featuring a PTO brake
(e.g., Ford). Turn the PTO control lever slow-
ly to the OFF position.
11.4.STOPPING A HYDRAULIC MO
TOR DRIVEN CHIPPER
D
IMPORTANT! When the chipper is driven by
the HD100, it is extremely important to slow
the driving engine speed to idle before di-
sconnecting the hydraulics,
to prevent cavi-
tation
.
Never disconnect the hydrau-
lics from high rpm. This will
cause a risk of cavitation and
may damage the hydraulic mo-
tor.
Check that no sounds indica-
ting cavitation can be heard
from the hydraulic motor.
CAUTION!
After stopping the chipper, wait
for all movement to stop. The
disk continues rotating like a
flywheel after the PTO is disen-
gaged.
DANGER!
11.5.CHIPPING
D
Before feeding in the material to be chipped,
ensure that the wood is free from nails, sto-
nes, etc.
D
Feed the wood from a standing position on
the left side of the feeder.
D
Push the wood inside the feed chute until
chipping starts. Let go of the wood as soon
as the self---feeding starts.
D
If you are using a hydraulic feeder, refer to
the separate chipping instructions in the fee-
der manual.
Do not use the chipper in tem-
peratures below --20
_
C. This is
to avoid damage due to brittle-
ness – especially in the knives –
caused by the cold. Avoid chip-
ping wood that is frozen solid,
as self--feeding is reduced in
this case.
CAUTION!
ROTATING KNIVES!
Knives can cause cutting inju-
ry.
Do reach inside the feed chute
with hands or feet.
DANGER!
