Starting procedure
Before starting the machine, operators must read the section “Chipping Safety” in this manual and follow all instructions.
Ensure the rotor is disengaged by winding the
engagement handle in the anti-clockwise direction
until the handle comes to a stop (located next to the
control panel).
Additionally, ensure the throttle control is set to idle.
Insert the key into the ignition and turn clockwise to
the “on” position (first click). Wait a
few seconds for
the electronic controller to start up, then turn the key
clockwise (second click) to crank the engine until it
starts. Allow the engine to warm up for 1-2 minutes.
Note: If the engine fails to start on the first attempt,
the key must be turned back to the off position before
attempting to start again.
At this point you can use the track control remote to
move the machine (follow the procedure outlined in
the “rubber track drive” section of this manual).
Once the machine is in position for chipping, ensure the
track control remote is disconnected (the feed roller will
not operate until the remote is disconnected).
Increase the throttle up to the first notch on the throttle
control gate. Gradually and slowly engage the rotor by
winding the engagement handle in the clockwise
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 maximum for chipping (move the
throttle lever to the highest position).
Note:
Engine must run at full throttle for the automatic
feed control system to operate correctly.
