OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the operation of the chipper becomes sluggish or erratic,
pour one teaspoon of kerosene into the air inlet and
operate the tool for a few seconds. Lubricate the tool as
explained above after flushing.
STORAGE
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for
an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it
should receive a generous almount of lubrication at that
time and again when returned to service. Store the tool in
a clean and dry environment. Alternatively, chippers and
scalers may be put in a bucket of kerosene or light oil for
extended periods of storage such as weekends or plant
shutdowns. The tool should always be lubricated before
storage and when being returned to service.
CHISEL INSTALLATION & REMOVAL
Turn off the air and drain the air
hose before installing or removing
any chisel or implement. Follow the
procedure below and on next page for installing any chisel
or implement. Reverse the procedure for removal.
The CLECO "CH" series chipper is designed to operate
on 90 psig air pressure using a 1/2" I.D. hose up to 8' in
length. If additional length is required, a 3/4" I.D. or large
hose should be connected to the 1/2" hose.
The air hose should be cleared of accumulated dirt and
moisture, then one-half (1/2) teaspoon of 10W machine oil
should be poured into the tool's air inlet before connecting
the hose to the tool.
Important: The handle should be checked after the first
eight hours of operation and occasionally thereafter to
make sure it is tight. Torque to 300 ft. lbs.
LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-lubricator is recommended as it
increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained opera-
tion. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and
filled with a good grade of 10W machine oil. Never use a
heavy oil, as this will cause a loss of efficiency. Proper
adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing
a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the
throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
Eye protection must be worn when disassembling tool or when air line is turned on. A
self-relieving valve in close proximity to the repair station to bleed off air is recom-
mended.
