Operation Notes
• Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage each time you use the machine.
NOTE: Check for shaft movement while starting the engine. If the shaft does not turn, clean out the Chipper
as instructed on page 28.
• At engine start-up, the engine of your DR CHIPPER operates under no load until approximately
1200-1400 RPM, at which speed the Centrifugal Clutch engages and begins driving the Rotor
Assembly.
• Proper Rotor speed is 2400-RPM +/- 200 RPM.
• When viewed from the Chipper Hopper side, the Flywheel turns in a clockwise direction.
• Only operate the DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER from the Operator Zone shown in Figure 9.
• Keep proper balance and footing while operating the DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER.
• ALWAYS stop the engine when leaving the Operating Zone (Figure 9) or when moving the machine.
