BWC Hydraulic Feed Wood Chipper
Inspect the following prior to the operating the machine for the first time and every 5 hours of
operation:
•
Torque all fasteners and hardware. Replace missing or damaged hardware.
•
Check condition of rotor bearings.
•
Check the condition and clearance of the rotor and stationary blades.
•
Check for entangled material. Remove all entangled material before beginning/resuming work.
•
Lubricate all grease fittings.
Operating the Wood Chipper
•
The Wood chipper must be firmly seated on a solid, level surface. DO NOT operate the wood chipper
while in a raised position or with flywheel turning.
•
Block the tractor wheels and set the parking brake to prevent the tractor from rolling during operation.
•
Clear the area of people and/or animals.
•
After attaching the wood chipper and PTO, and before operating, do the following:
•
The discharge chute should always be rotated in a safe direction away from the operator and locked in
place with the discharge chute locking handle. Never allow bystanders in the area where material is
discharged! Serious injury or death can occur.
•
Adjust the Deflector to allow the material to be thrown to the
desired distance. Never operate the wood chipper without
deflector attached.
•
Before starting the tractor, make sure animals and people are at a
safe distance. Discharged material can cause serious injury.
•
Start the tractor and allow the engine to idle with the PTO
engaged. Gradually increase the tractor engine RPM until the
PTO reaches 540 RPM (not the tractor RPM). The wood chipper
is designed to operate at 540 RPM. Lower RPM can cause
damage to the wood chipper if material obstructs the feed roller
and stops the flywheel. It is best to feed material by the larger
end first.
•
Prior to inserting material into the wood chipper, inspect material
for foreign objects such as nails or screws. Foreign objects can damage the blades and cause premature
wear.
