Adjusting the output flap 

The output chute has an adjustable flap that can be used to help 

direct where chippings will fall. To adjust:  

1.  Loosen (rotate anti clockwise

) the thumb-screw (A).

2.  Rotate the flap (B) as required – the higher it is, the further away 

the chippings will fall.
3.  Firmly tighten the thumb-screw by hand.

Adjusting the directional chute adjuster

The output chute has directional chute adjuster which allows the     
operator to adjust the chute into 11 different positions.  

To adjust:

1) Push down on the directional chute adjustment lever until the     

locking pin is released. (A)

2) Manually adjust the direction of the chute until the locking pin (not 
sighted) is locked into one of the 11 adjustment positions.(B)

3) Always check the wind direction and do not work down wind of the 

discharge chute.

4) Never direct the discharge chute towards anyone operating the 

chipper or any bystanders.

Safety Cut Off Button

This chipper is equipped with a quick cut-off safety button.  When 
this button is pressed the engine is cut off, and the chipper will stop 
quickly.
The engine remains cut out until the button is reset.
To reset the button, turn it in a clockwise direction.  The button will 
pop back out and the engine can then be started again as per usual. 
Check for blockages and ensure the chipper drum can turn freely
