Chipping
- The chipper is powered by a tractor combustion engine. Do not
start it in confined or ill-ventilated spaces or under conditions of low
visibility.
- While chipping the chipper must always be properly coupled to a
tractor.
- It is not allowed to use the cardan shaft with its damaged guard. This guard
must be properly locked against turning. Check up locks on the sliding shaft.
- Set the discharge duct in required direction. The discharge duct cannot be
directed to the attendant's place, see following figure.
- When loading materials and during operation of the chipper the attendant
should always stand in the attendant's place, see fig.
- Having turned the chipping device on wait for speed stabilization. With that
you may soever increase or reduce the tractor PTO shaft speed. For correct
chipping functions it is necessary if the tractor PTO shaft speed is 540
rpm(1000 rpm).
- Wooden chips can be gathered in bulk or into a container located on a towing
vehicle.
- While discharging into a container, pay your attention to ejecting to avoid
ejecting chips back out off the container.
- Before displacement of the chipper to another workplace, first turn the PTO
shaft off and wait for run-out of all rotary parts. Afterwards, lift up the
machine in the top (transport) position. Never pull the machine while resting
on the ground!
