Towing safety
Rotate the discharge chute to face the opposite direction of the towing vehicle before towing and lock into position.
Lock the feed table in the up position.
Do not exceed maximum towing speed of 90km/hr.
Connect the tow coupling to the towing vehicle (check the ball dimensions are the same as the coupling).
Connect safety chain with shackle.
If the machine is fitted with brakes, check handbrake is off and road brakes are on by removing the reversing lever.
Plug in lights and check they are operational.
Check wheel nuts and axle U-bolts periodically to make sure they are secure.
Ensure the jockey wheel is in the up position and locked away during transport.
Ensure the rotating assembly is positioned facing forwards (with the engine at the front, feed chute at the rear) and the
chassis rotation locking pins are down in the locked position.
Operation
The chipper is self-feeding and has a large inlet opening. It can process:
•
Prunings, stalks, vines, leaves, roots and vegetable matter, paper and cardboard
•
Freshly cut material is better to process than dry material
•
Maximum capacity is 160 mm diameter branches
It is recommended to keep a wooden stick handy, approx. 60 mm diameter x 1000 mm long for:
•
Pushing in short, brushy and very leafy materials
•
Keeping the inlet table clear
Outlet chute adjustment
The C27 is fitted with a freely rotating outlet chute, allowing the operator to precisely
control the direction of material discharge from the machine. The chute can easily be
adjusted by undoing the clamping bolt, adjusting the outlet chute direction as needed, then
doing the clamping bolt back up.
Additionally, the end of the outlet chute is fitted with two deflector plates that you can
adjust to control the angle and distance that material is discharged. A wingnut is located on
the side of the upper deflector to lock it in place.
360-degree turntable adjustment
The chipping components of the C27 are coupled to the chassis via
a freely rotating turntable. This allows the operator to feed material
into the chipper from any direction, eliminating the time and effort
spent repositioning the machine, and allowing you to use the
chipper while still being coupled to the tow vehicle. To reposition
the turntable, lift the locking pins on each side of the chipper, rotate
the chipper, then resecure the pins. Check the table is locked
properly by ensuring each pin locks into one of the 24 positions on
the base of the turntable.
