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 operator’s 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. Secure with the hitch clip at end of the locking
pin.
Maintenance
Grease the yoke cylinder pin and the yoke pivot pin every 40 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.
