REMOVING THE FUNNEL
2
Disconnect the control box loom from the engine loom at the 1
connection point location under the near side of the funnel.
Remove the locking pins each side (hook back onto hinge to avoid 2
misplacing them). Withdraw both hinges and with two people,
remove the tray.
Release the two catches that secure the funnel to the chassis, 3
located underneath funnel.
With two people in position, lift the funnel ensuring the wide end 4
is lifted first then release the narrow end from the roller box
assembly.
WINCH OPERATION
Where a winch is factory fitted, it is for recovery purposes only. Always follow the winch manufacturer’s instruction
manual provided with the machine.
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL INDICATOR
The oil level is visible through the tank wall. It should be within the upper
and lower level marks. Refer to filling and draining instructions on page
22.
BLADE WEAR
The most important part of using a wood chipper is keeping the cutter blades sharp. Timberwolf chipper blades are
hollow ground to an angle of 40 degrees. When performing daily blade checks ensure blade edge is sharp and free from
chips, if there is any evidence of damage, or the edge is “dull” change the blade(s). The TW 230VTR is fitted with 2
blades 135mm (5") long. They are 100mm wide when new. A new blade should chip for up to 25 hours before it
requires sharpening. This figure will be drastically reduced by feeding the machine with stony, sandy or muddy
material.
As the blade becomes blunt, performance is reduced. With increased stress and load on the machine the chips will
become more irregular and stringy. At this point the blade should be sent to a reputable blade sharpening company.
The blade can be sharpened several times in its life. A wear mark indicates the safe limit of blade wear. Replace when
this line is exceeded.
The machine is also fitted with a static blade (anvil). It is important that the anvil is in good condition to allow the
cutting blades to function efficiently. Performance will be poor even with sharp cutter blades if the anvil is worn.
FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR
The fuel level can be seen through the wall of the plastic tank.
REFUELLING
When refuelling, follow standard Health & Safety practices:
Stop the engine and allow to cool before refuelling. •
Never smoke or allow naked flames nearby while •
refuelling.
Store fuel away from vapour ignition sources such as •
fires and people smoking.
Never refuel at operating location, keep a distance of > 10 m to avoid creating fire hazards. •
Fuel storage containers must be approved for diesel fuel storage and clearly labelled with securely fitting caps. •
Clean area around fuel cap and use a funnel for refuelling. Replace the fuel cap securely. Do not fill the tank beyond •
the max. fill indicator.
Avoid skin contact with fuel. If it gets into eyes wash out with sterile water immediately and seek medical advice as •
soon as possible.
Always clean spillages quickly and change clothes before re-entering the work area if fuel is spilled onto garments.•
