3.6 Rotating Discharge Spout
Notice: Operator is responsible for insuring the spout is directed properly prior to engaging the chip-
per disc. Spout should “NEVER” be pointed toward the infeed area of the chipper. Spout should not
be pointed at buildings, roadways, vehicles or anywhere ying debris may cause injury to others. Use
trafc cones or tape off a perimeter to help alert others to ying debris hazard. Never point spout at
surface of object or trees for example, that may deect ying debris back at the chipper or operators.
1. With engine running, use the spout rotation switch on either control panel to adjust spout direction.
2. Adjust the spout deector by pulling the handle down, then sliding toward end of spout to raise the deec-
tor or toward chipper to lower the deector.
3. Point spout toward the hitch for transport.
