7.10 Transporting the Chipper
7.10.1 Safety Rules
• Do not exceed a safe travel speed.
• Always follow and obey applicable highway rules and
regulations.
• Be sure all lights, markers and SMV sign required by the
traffic regulations are in place, clean and working.
• Check three-point hitch connections and ensure they are
safely pinned with retainers.
• Never allow riders on the machine.
• Avoid rough terrain. Slow down when encountering rough
conditions or cornering.
7.10.2 Prepare for Transport
1.
Make sure all access covers are secured in place, and the
rotor upper housing is bolted down.
2.
Place the feed table in the stowed position.
3.
Turn the discharge hood towards the tractor to reduce the
width of the machine.
4.
Clean all debris off the chipper. Falling debris could cause
problems for other traffic.
IMPORTANT! On BX102RP models equipped with the
winch, the winch arm must be swung up into its stowed
position first.
5.
Pull the roller feed control bar backward to the rear STOP
position. This way it clears the cowling when the feed table
is folded up.
6.
Release the table lock pins.
7.
Carefully grasp the front edge of the feed table and fold it up
to its vertical position.
8.
Secure the feed table by engaging the two spring loaded
latch pins into the pin tabs.
9.
Make sure the tractor is in safe working order.
10.
Plan the route. Choose the most direct and safest path.
