ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
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 specic machine conguration 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 top of the infeed, 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 8 hours. See the lubrication points in the Maintenance Section.
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.
