Function
The hitch is used to couple the towing vehicle to the chipper. There are three
options available:
1. Hitch with Ball Assembly: Is used when the towing vehicle
is equipped with a 2 5/16” diameter ball. It has a 12,000 lb
load capacity.
Note: The ball assembly option can not be used with a engine option
over 140 HP.
2. Hitch with Pintle Ring: Used for heavier loads, and when the
towing vehicle is equipped with a pintle hitch.
3. Hitch with 20,000 lb Surge Brake Actuator: In the event that
the towing vehicle becomes separated with the chipper, the chain on
the hydraulic brake actuator will be pulled. This will pull the lever
forward locking the hydraulic brakes on the axle.
4. Hydraulic Stabilizer: The stabilizer is used to level the tongue. It is
hydraulically driven.
Use
Secure the loose end of the actuator cable/chain to the towing vehicle,
making sure the cable/chain does not drag, has no strain or restrictions, and
the cable/chain is unobstructed of pull in the event of vehicle separation.
WARNING
A defective battery or electrical short can result in your brakes not
working. Check your breakaway system periodically to insure your
brakes are in proper working order.
