Section 3 — Safety • 9
Testing of the breakaway can be accomplished by jack-
ing up the chipper, spinning the wheel and pulling the
plunger. The brakes should apply. This test only ensures
the basic braking circuit is properly functioning. For com-
plete testing and tow vehicle controller set-up, refer to
the chipper brake section in this manual.
Notice
The breakaway switch is to be used for emergencies
only. The breakaway system rapidly discharges the
battery when the plunger pin is removed. Reinstall
plunger immediately after completion of test.
