Function
The yoke houses the top feed wheel, its primary function is to aid in feeding
material into the chipper. When maintenance or repairs are needed on the
feed wheels and chipper drum, the yoke raises and lowers, allowing easy
access to the interior of the chipper base.
Use
To raise and lower the yoke, use the hydraulic handles on the valve bank.
NOTE: The direction of movement (left-right, up-down) depends on the
specific machine configuration that was ordered with your chipper. Refer to
the decal next to the yoke control valve for exact handle direction.
When the yoke is raised, it MUST be locked in place with the yoke locking
pin. The locking pin is located on the curb side of the machine, next to the
valve bank. To lock the yoke, raise the yoke. Then insert the locking pin in
the yoke locking hole, making sure it goes all of the way through both sides
of the infeed, then release the valve bank lever. Secure with the hitch clip at
end of the locking pin.
Maintenance
Grease the yoke cylinder pin and the yoke pivot pin every 8 hours. See the
Maintenance section for more detail.
Yoke
Movement or placement of any part of the body inside the
yoke will result in mutilation, serious injury, or death. Keep
all parts of the body (hands, feet, head) outside of the
yoke.
