HYDRAULIC FEED OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Hydraulic Feed Operating Instructions Fluids Handle pressurized hydraulic fluid carefully. Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid has sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot enough to burn. Serious infection or reactions can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. Premium hydraulic fluids containing high quality rust, oxidation, and foam inhibitors are required.
HY F D R A U L I C E E D OP E R A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S Control Arm Operation 1. Engage the PTO. Bring the chipper up to operating speed. See the operation section for starting, operation, and stopping instructions. 2. Engage the hydraulic feed by moving the control arm as shown in figure 11 below. The feed rate increases as the arm is moved in the forward direction. 3. Feed the branch (up to eight inches in diameter). 4.
HYDRAULIC FEED M A I N T E N A N C E Hydraulic Feed Maintenance NOTE: Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water (noted by a cloudy to milky appearance or free water in bottom of reservoir), and rancid fluid odor (excessive heat). The hydrostatic pump normally does not require regular fluid changes. Change the system filter at 250 hour or annual intervals.
