4.11 Chipping
When all the safety checks have been completed and the engine is running at full speed,
chipping can be started.
Press and release the GREEN Forward Feed Control. The in-feed rollers will start to turn in
the forward direction. Commence feeding material into the chipper.
Wood up to 210 mm (8 inches) in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Put the butt end
in first and engage it with the feed rollers. Cutting a chamfered edge on the butt end can
assist the rollers in gripping and loading the material. The hydraulic feed rollers will pull the
material into the machine quite quickly. Large diameter material will have its feed rate
automatically controlled by the No Stress unit. (Refer to Section 4.2 "
No Stress Control" on
page 24.)
Sometimes a piece of wood that is a particularly awkward shape may be too strong for the
feed rollers to grip. This will cause the top roller to either bounce on the wood, or both rollers
to stall. If this occurs, press the
BLUE reverse feed control until the material is released.
Safely retrieve the material from the feed funnel and trim it so that the chipper can process
it.
The two feed rollers should always turn at the same speed. If one or both rollers stop or
suddenly slow down it may be that a piece of wood has become stuck behind one of the
rollers. If this occurs, press the
BLUE reverse feed control and hold for two seconds - then
press the GREEN forward feed control. This should enable the rollers to free the stuck
material and continue rotating at the correct speed. If the rollers continue to stall in either
the forward feed or reverse feed position, press the red stop button, switch off the engine,
remove the ignition key and investigate further.
4.12 Working in Dusty Conditions
Restricted airflow through the radiator may cause the engine to overheat, leading to
damage or failure.
When working in an environment that produces a lot of dust, the radiator and the front grille
should be checked at regular intervals to ensure they remain clear and allow full airflow
through the radiator.
Ensure that the air intake remains clear and allows full air flow.
4.13 Stopping the Engine
1. Push and release the throttle switch to the slow (tortoise) position and ensure that the
engine speed reduces to idle.
2. Allow the engine to run at idle for a minimum of one minute.
3. Turn the ignition key to position 0. The engine should stop within a few seconds.
4. Remove the ignition key.
