DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
STARTING TO CHIP
WARNING
Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective guarding
and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or loss of life.
! !
CHECK that the chipper is running smoothly at correct PTO speed.
STAND to one side of the feed funnel when loading material.
PROCEED to feed material into the feed funnel (note do's and dont's).
CHIPPING
Wood up to 100 mm in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Enter it into the funnel butt end first.
Release the material before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly
while being chipped.
The wood will be drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear.
A piece of wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this
happens it is possible to hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain
its speed again.
If a piece of wood gets stuck in the funnel and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need
to be removed. Trim the branch until it is a suitable shape for the chipper to accept.
CONNECTING PTO SHAFT
ALWAYS ENSURE THE TRACTOR IS TURNED OFF BEFORE FITTING OR REMOVING PROP SHAFT.
When fitting a PTO shaft it should always be remembered that 100 mm of overlap is required between
the two sections of the shaft. This is the minimum needed to ensure the shaft does not fail.
To connect the PTO shaft follow the instructions supplied with the shaft. The shaft should remain fitted
to the chipper at all times. It can be placed on the prop shaft support when the tractor is removed.
