18” CHIPPER MACHINE OPERATION
31
• Carlton Chippers are equipped with a
height adjustable discharge chute. This
allows the discharge chute to be adjusted
for different truck heights and discharge
angles.
• Use the handle to adjust discharge chute
height. Remember to lower the
discharge chute all the way down before
transporting the chipper.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DISCHARGE IS
POINTED IN A CLEAR DIRECTION FOR
DISCHARGE OF CHIPS
NEVER ADJUST THE DISCHARGE CHUTE
WHILE CHIPPER IS IN OPERATION OR
WHILE THE CUTTER DISK IS SPINNING
START ENGINE
• Key Switch and Gauges are located in a
lockable panel at the rear of the engine.
• The engine is supplied with a three-position
key switch. Turn the key clockwise all the
way to start the engine; always start the
engine at idle. When the engine is running,
release the key and it returns to the on (run)
position. Turn the key counter-clockwise to
shut down the engine.
DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE AT
AN ANGLE GREATER THAN 25° OR
SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE WILL
OCCUR. PROPER ENGINE OIL LEVEL
MUST BE MAINTAINED TO ACHIEVE
MAXIMUM ANGLE OF OPERATION OF
25°. (See Engine Owner’s Manual for
proper oil level.)
• Start engine at idle and allow sufficient time
for oil to circulate before proceeding. A
two-position switch is located next to the
key switch in the control panel. The lower
(idle) position is for starting the engine, low
speed engine operation during warm up,
clutch engagement/disengagement, and
engine cool down. The upper position is for
running the engine at full speed during
chipping operations. (See engine manual for
further starting procedures. Be sure to
follow the engine manual instructions for
cold weather operation.)
