7.8.1 Prepare for Transport
1.
Clean all dirt, debris off the chipper. Falling debris could
cause problems for other traffic.
2.
Make sure all access covers are secured in place, and the
rotor upper housing is bolted down.
3.
Turn the discharge hood inward to reduce the width of the
machine.
NOTE:
On BXM42 models, the feed hopper can be
rotated up to additionally reduce the width of the
machine. Remove the lower bolts, loosen the
upper bolts and swing the hopper up. Tighten
the upper bolts to hold it there.
4.
Make sure the tractor is in safe working order.
5.
Plan the route. Choose the most direct and safest path.
