Fig. 58 –
Forward (Feed)
The control bar can move freely between Forward
and Reverse without locking.
Reversing the feed rollers can be manually controlled
with the feed control handle at any time, even at
engine idle. The rotor does not have to be turning for
Reverse to work.
4.
Stand to the side of the feed table and slowly slide material
into the feed rollers. Do not force the material. The material
is drawn in as it engages the rollers.

5.
Make sure the wood chip pile is contained and does not
affect the immediate work area.
Delimb large branches and trees. The limbs on the
branches may catch the roller feed control bar and
shut the rollers off.
Be aware of the size and shape of the material.
Crotchety, curved branches and logs can move
in unpredictable ways as they pass through the
feed rollers. Large curved pieces should be cut to
smaller straighter sections.
When feeding bushy, branched material, have an
assistant positioned at the roller control bar to keep
branches from hitting it and deactivating the rollers.
Hold small diameter branches / limbs together in a
bundle and feed in together.
Place short branches on top of longer ones, to
avoid reaching into the hopper.

P3 PULSE Electronic Control System
•
P3 PULSE electronic control system prevents the tractor
engine from getting bogged down if material is put into
the chipper too quickly. Feed roller speed is regulated by
monitoring the rotor rpm.
•
Once the rotor is up to speed, P3 PULSE starts the feed
rollers when the feed control handle is placed in the
Forward (feed) position.
•
As material is put into the chipper, P3 PULSE continually
monitors rotor speed. If the rotor slows down under load
below a lower speed setting, P3 PULSE auto-reverses the
feed rollers. Wood is then pulled away from the rotor giving
it the opportunity to regain speed.
•
Once back at operating rpm, P3 PULSE automatically
resumes forward feed.

The Power Pack for the BXR Series chipper is powered by the
PTO of your tractor and must be installed before attaching the
tractor to the chipper.
1.
Follow the power pack installation instructions to install the
power pack.
2.
Check hydraulic level in the reservoir. Top up if required.
