4 Section OPERATION As with any other piece of outdoor equipment, getting the feel for how your machine operates and getting to know the best techniques for particular jobs are important to overall good performance. CHIPPING OPERATION The chipping operation takes place on the front of the machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are mounted on a rotating disk assembly. Material fed into the chipper chute is sliced into small chips and propelled out through a discharge tube.
5. Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper chute until it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed rate of the limb into the chipper will depend on the type of material fed and sharpness of the cutting blades. 4.3 OPERATING THE CHIPPER WARNING Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual. Failure to operate the machine in accordance with the safety instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY! CAUTION Obtain and wear safety glasses at all times when operating the machine.
5 Section service & maintenance 5.1 maintenance schedule The items listed in this service and maintenance schedule are to be checked, and if necessary, corrective action taken. This schedule is designed for units operating under normal conditions. If the unit is operating in adverse or severe conditions, it may be necessary for the items to be checked and serviced more frequently.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WARNING Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine, shut off power source, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. 5.2 chipper blade maintenance 5.3 removing the blades The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making chipping difficult and adding extra strain on the machine. Check the sharpness of the blades every 5 - 15 hours of operation and sharpen as needed.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WARNING Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine, shut off power source, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. 5.5 SETTING BLADE CLEARANCE The chipping blades should clear the anvil by 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch. Check the clearance every 8 hours of operation and adjust if needed. The chipping anvil is reversible. All four sides of the anvil can be used for chipping. To adjust the anvil: 1. Lift rotor access cover and expose rotor.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WARNING Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine, shut off power source, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. 5.7 replacing bearings IMPORTANT 1. Remove the two 3/8 inch retaining bolts holding access cover to main frame assembly. Tilt access cover over to allow rotor access. 2. Remove large belt guard. 3. Loosen bolts on hydraulic pump and remove hydraulic pump belt (for hydraulic feed units only). 4.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WARNING Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine, shut off power source, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. 5.9 FILLING HYDRAULIC FLUID 5.10 CHANGE HYDRAULIC FILTER Change the hydraulic oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours thereafter (if applicable). WARNING Handle pressurized hydraulic fluid carefully. Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid may penetrate your skin causing serious injury.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WARNING Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine, shut off power source, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop. 5.12 CLEARING A PLUGGED ROTOR Feeding too large or too much material at once may plug the chipper. To clear a plugged disk, proceed as follows: 1. Lift the engagement handle and turn off engine key switch. Allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop. 2.
