bolts, nuts and washers.
The feed roller speed control is used to control the speed
of the feed roller allowing the operator to have better con-
trol of material being fed into the chipper.
For optimum chipping, it is recommended that the feed
roller operate at a faster rate for smaller branches and at
a slower rate for larger branches.

The feed roller control bar is used to manually control the
rotation of the feed roller.
FORWARD (F) rotation is used to move material into the
feed chute towards the chipper blades.
REVERSE (R) rotation is used to push material out of the
feed chute away from the chipper blades.
STOP is used to halt the rotation of the feed roller.
This machine is equipped with a Plus 1 Controller. The
controller monitors the chipper disk rPM and regulates
the feed roller.
When chipper disk Rpm drops too low, the feed roller
is stopped automatically to allow the chipper disk to
process material.
When the chipper disk returns to chipping Rpm, the
feed roller will automatically reengage.
Try again Feature: If the feed roller becomes obstructed,
the controller will reverse the feed roller momentarily to
clear the obstruction. the controller will then engage
the feed roller and feed the material again.
If this cycle continues, remove or reposition the material
manually.
Remember to sharpen blades frequently so material
will feed smoothly.
The controller light will flash the following codes (See
Sec. 6 for more information):
normal operating rPM: • Steady green light
indicates engine has reached full RPM.
Feed bar not in stoP: • Flashing red light indicates
operator must put feed bar in STOP position.
service Code • : Flashing amber light is a reminder
to check blade sharpness.
RPM Too low • : Flashing green light indicates
operator must increase engine RPM before
starting to chip.
Safety Bar Activated: • Steady red light (European
models only).
NOTE
The disk sensor and feed roller control bar sensors must
be set to the correct clearance or the chipper will not NoTE
The RPM sensor on the rotor must be flashing as the
rotor turns or the controller won’t work. Clearance
between the sensor and the bolt must be between
1/32” (0.8 mm) and 3/32” (2.4 mm). There are also
two sensors in the feed roller control box. These
sensors must have a clearance of 5/64” (2 mm).
