CHECK THE INFEED TRAY
• The infeed tray on the 18” chipper is
fixed in the open position. Check to
make sure there isn’t any material or
other objects anywhere in the infeed tray
before starting the chipper.
AIM DISCHARGE CHUTE
• To rotate the discharge chute on the 18”
chipper use the hydraulic control lever at
the right hand side of the infeed tray.
The discharge lever is clearly marked for
operation. Position the discharge chute
in the direction the chips will be
discharged when chipping.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DISCHARGE IS
POINTED IN A CLEAR DIRECTION FOR
DISCHARGE OF CHIPS
NEVER ROTATE DISCHARGE CHUTE
WHILE CHIPPER IS IN OPERATION OR
WHILE THE CUTTER DISK IS SPINNING
• There is an adjustable flap on the end of
the discharge chute. This flap is
adjustable in the vertical direction to
help control the height and distance of
the chips being discharged. To adjust
this flap pull down on the handle and
rotate the flap up or down to desired
position.
NEVER ADJUST THIS FLAP WHILE
CHIPPER IS IN OPERATION OR WHILE
THE CUTTER DISK IS SPINNING
• Stay clear of discharge zone when
running chipper. Never allow anyone
to stand near or to walk close to the
discharge zone, even if being
discharged into a bin or truck.
• Airborne debris may cause severe
injury. If inspection of chipped
material is required, shut down the
machine first.
• Discharge spout should not be pointed
toward people, buildings, or other
personal property that may be injured
or damaged. Airborne debris is as
dangerous as any powerful projectile.
• Never position, adjust, or move the
discharge chute while the chipper or
the cutter disk is running
