FEED CONTROL BAR
• The feed control bar is located on three
sides of the infeed chute; across the top
and down each side.
• The feed control bar has three distinct
positions
− In the out position pulled toward the
rear of the machine the bar is now in
the feed position. In this position the
feed wheels are engaged and will pull
material into the chipper
− In the middle position the bar is in the
stop position. With the bar in this
position the feed wheels are stopped
and do not rotate.
− In the in position pushed toward the
front of the chipper the feed control bar
is in the reverse mode. This position
reverses the feed wheels and attempts
to back material out of the chipper.

and the auto-feed. When the operator
pushes the continuous feed switch, the
feed wheels feed continuously until the
switch is released. The switch is a
momentary switch and works the same
either up or down and goes back to off
when released.
