OPERATION
START UP
•
Place tractor transmission in neutral and set the parking brake, then turn the tractor
engine off.
•
Connect the 3 pt. hitch linkages to the chipper and secure them with safety linch
pins.
•
Adjust the top link so that the chipper sits level.
•
Connect the PTO shaft to the tractor. Make sure that the PTO safety chains are
attached to both the tractor and the chipper to keep the protective PTO shield from
rotating.
•
Turn the discharge chute in a safe direction and adjust the chip deflector to the
desired position.
•
Start tractor engine and hold the engine RPM’s at a strong idle. Engage the PTO
slowly. If the tractor is running at a high speed when you engage the PTO you could
damage the drive belts or break the shear bolt on the PTO shaft. After the rotor is
spinning freely raise the tractor RPM’s until the PTO speed is at 540 RPM. Most
tractor RPM gauges indicate this with a line and or text.
•
With the chipper now running at full speed you may begin chipping. Start by feeding
small diameter branches until you get better acquainted with the machine and its
operation, then you may begin feeding larger pieces.
DISCHARGE CHUTE ADJUSTMENT
•
To position/rotate the chip chute, loosen the eye bolt as shown below. The chute is
now free to rotate and conveniently does so at a full 360 degrees. Rotate it to the
desired position and re-tighten the eye bolt to secure it in position.
