Shutdown procedure
Once the machine is in position for chipping, ensure the
track control remote is disconnected (the feed roller will
not operate unless the remote is disconnected).
Increase the throttle to 1/3 (up to the first notch on the
throttle control gate). Gradually and slowly engage the
rotor by winding the engagement handle in the counter
clock-wise direction until it comes to a stop. This should
be done slowly to allow enough time for the cutting
rotor to pick up speed without stalling the engine.
Increase throttle to full for chipping (move the throttle
lever to the left-most position).
Note:
Engine must run at full throttle for the automatic
feed and feed roller to operate.
Refer to the
‘Automatic Feed Controller’ section on page
8 to set
the automatic feed control to the desired setting.
To shut the machine down, move the throttle control
lever to the idle position (far-right position).
Once the engine has been given enough time to slow
down to idle speed (about 10-15 seconds), disengage the
rotor by winding the engagement handle in the clock-
wise direction until the handle comes to a stop.
WARNING!
Only engage and disengage the rotor at
idle speed otherwise excessive vibration and belt friction
may cause damage.
Allow the engine to cool down by running at idle for at
least 1
–
2 minutes before shutting down. Turn the
ignition key anti-clockwise into the off position to shut
the chipper down.
WARNING!
The heavy rotor will continue to turn for
some time after the engine has been shut down. Do not
open the rotor housing cover until the engine and cutting
disk have completely stopped and the rotor is
disengaged.
