Operating instructions

Adjusting the Angle of the Tongue Weldment

The Tongue Weldment can be adjusted to the horizontal

position to enable the Chipper to be towed with a tractor or

it can be adjusted to the vertical position as a Support Leg

to level and stabilize the Chipper when not hitched to a

tractor.

1. Support the front of the Base Frame with a Jack Stand

or Blocks (make sure you are off to the side of the

Tongue Weldment so it can rotate freely).

2. Pull the Hitch Clip from the Pin and remove the Pin

(Figure 22).

3. Rotate the Tongue Weldment to the vertical (support

leg) position and reinsert the Pin into the Pin Holes for

the Support Leg position.

4. Secure the Pin by inserting the Hitch Clip.

5. Reverse these procedures to Adjust to the Towing

position (non-highway) and your Chipper is now ready

to hitch to your tractor.
