ENGLISH
OPERATION
exclude pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, and 3.
other foreign objects when feeding material into the
machine.
Feed brush from the side of the chipper chute, rather
4.
than from the front. Step aside to avoid being hit by
the brush moving into the chipper.
Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper chute until
5.
it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed rate
of the limb into the chipper will depend on the type of
material fed and sharpness of the cutting blades.
If the engine slows to where it may stall, stop feeding
6.
material and allow the engine to recover. Feed material
more evenly.
If the chipper jams, remove the branch and rotate it
7.
before reinserting it into the chute. Alternately insert
and retract the limb or insert continuously at a rate that
will not kill the engine.
do not use the clutch to clear a plugged rotor. This
8.
may cause belt damage. Refer to the instructions
for clearing a plugged rotor in the Service and
Maintenance section.
Alternate greener material with dry material to
9.
lubricate the chipping blades for longer life and better
performance. chipping dead, dry material will create
heat and dull the chipping blades quickly.
Sharpen the chipping blades periodically. check the
10.
sharpness of the blades every 5-15 hours. Refer to
the Service and Maintenance section for sharpening
instructions.
