1.
Position the tractor and wood chipper at the work site in a
clear, level work area.
2.
Set the tractor brake and block / chock the wheels.
3.
Make sure the area is clear of bystanders, especially
children.
4.
Lower the chipper to the ground. Make sure the machine is
resting on the ground and is level and stable.

6.
Turn the discharge chute to the desired position and adjust
the deflector as required.
IMPORTANT! The chipper must be resting on the ground
during operation. Using the chipper with it raised up off
the ground is dangerous and will result in damage to the
machine.
7.3 Adjust Ski Height
B36S, BX52S models
The ski can be adjusted up to 6" (15 cm) if required, to help
align the PTO when attaching the chipper to the tractor. The PTO
shaft should be as level as possible when the chipper is sitting
on the ground (the working position).
IMPORTANT! Do not adjust ski height based on operator
comfort. The PTO can be damaged if the working angle is
too great.
To adjust the ski:
1.
With the chipper connected to the tractor, raise it up off the
ground.
2.
Loosen the four hex nuts on the ski bolts.
3.
Adjust the ski to the best height for PTO angle, then tighten
the hex nuts.
