MACHINE OPERATION
NOTICE
Chippers are not designed to cut chunk wood,
dimensional lumber including rail road ties, or end
cut logs standing on end. Chipper knives coming in
contact with a at surface puts an extreme shock
load on the chipper disc components and bearings.
This can cause damage to the machine that will not
be covered under warranty.
To feed vine-like material, stop the feed system,
cut the vines or vine-like material into 4 to 5 ft. (1.2
to 1.5 m) lengths, in a clear area, away from the
machine, place them on the infeed tray, start the
feed system, and use the wooden pusher paddle
to guide them towards the feedwheel(s). Always be
in position and prepared to activate the feed control
handle.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A wooden push paddle has been provided to
assist in feeding smaller material. It is the owner’s
and operator’s responsibility to use and keep a
wooden push paddle with the machine and to also
secure it when transporting the machine. Do not
use any body parts or any steel devices inside the
infeed hopper area.
When feeding larger diameter wood, listen for the
engine to possibly lug down. If it starts lugging down
stop the feedwheel(s) by pushing the feedwheel
control bar to o󰀨 , and let the engine recover to full
speed. If the machine is equipped with Autofeed
and it is functioning properly, the feed system will
automatically stop to let the engine recover. This will
help stop the machine from plugging the discharge
chute.
If there are short pieces, leaves, or twigs, leave
them until feeding longer pieces. While the long
pieces are feeding, simply toss the short pieces on
top of them. The longer pieces will take them on into
the machine.
If there is larger diameter wood, try to feed it with
smaller diameter wood. Start a small diameter limb
which will partially open the feedwheel(s). Once the
feedwheel(s) are partially open it is much easier to
insert the larger diameter wood.
