Safety
Movement or placement of any part of the body inside the
infeed will result in dismemberment, mutilation, serious
injury, or death. Keep all parts of the body (hands, feet,
head) outside the infeed.
Function
The infeed acts as a safety barrier between the operator and the feed wheels
during the chipping process. The tray of the infeed can also be used to rest
the end of a limb prior to feeding it into the wood chipper. The safety control
bar controls the direction of the feed wheels.
Use
When feeding material into the infeed, keep all body parts outside of the
infeed chute. To safely accomplish this the material being fed should be no
shorter than 4’ long.
The brush being fed into the infeed should be no shorter than 4 ft. and no
wider than 52”.
The bar running around the outside of the infeed is the safety control bar.
The safety control bar has four positions. Furthest back position is Stop, this
position stops the feedwheels, the second position is Forward, this position
pulls material into the feed wheels. The third is Stop, the fourth is Reverse, this
position reverses the feed wheels and pushes material out of the feed wheel.
The infeed is equipped with two bright yellow emergency safety cables,
which are located inside the infeed. The safety cables are there in case the
operator is accidentally pulled into the infeed. When the safety cable is pulled
the feed wheels will set into the reverse direction.
Maintenance
• Keep the infeed clear of any debris (stones, glass, metal, etc.) that may
damage the machine
• Clean the infeed only when the ignition key is out, all covers are locked,
and the machine is stable
• Clear the infeed of all debris before towing
DANGER!
CAUTION
Ensure the infeed is clear of all debris before transporting the machine.
Loose debris, especially debris in the infeed can dislodge and cause
damage to vehicles behind the towed chipper.
