ENGLISH
FEATURES & CONTROLS
This controls the speed of the engine. Increase the throttle
by moving the switch to the FAST position. To decrease
the throttle, move the switch to the SLOW position.
To engage the feed roller move the control bar. The cycle
of the control bar, front to back, is REVERSE (R), FOR-
WARD (F), STOP, REVERSE (R).
Directs the discharge of chipped material horizontally. The
discharge tube can be rotated 360° horizontally by press-
ing down on the lock lever and rotating the discharge tube
until the discharge deflector faces the desired position.
Release the discharge lock lever and slightly rotate the
discharge tube until the lock pin snaps into place in one of
the holes on the base of the discharge tube.
Directs the discharge of material vertically. Adjust the dis-
charge cap by turning the knob located on the side. Turn
knob counterclockwise to loosen discharge cap. Adjust
to desired position. Turn knob clockwise to secure dis-
charge cap.
Used to lift the feed roller. The feed roller can be raised
to inspect and service the machine and to clear a plugged
disk. Secure the feed roller in the raised position using
the provided snap pin.
Used to adjust the height of the hitch. Always have in UP
position and clear from ground when moving. When in
use, place in DOWN position on a level surface.
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must be
in the disengaged (UP) position. With the engine at 1/4
throttle, carefully engage the disk by slowly pushing the
engagement handle down, allowing the disk to speed up
gradually. Engaging the chipper too quickly with the en-
gine at full or half throttle will bog down the engine and
will shorten the life of the belt. To disengage the disk,
first idle the engine down and then pull the engagement
handle up.
Controls the speed of the feed roller. Allows the opera-
tor to have better control over the material being fed into
the chipper. Turning the knob clockwise will decrease the
speed of the feed roller. Turning the knob counterclock-
wise will increase the speed of the feed roller.
Locks the turntable to the frame for any chipping position
(0°-360°). The chipper base must always be locked in
place. Failure to do so may result in machine vibration,
serious bodily injury or death.

Prevents the chipper from tipping when disconnected from
tow vehicle. Always have in UP position and clear from
ground when moving. When in use, place in DOWN posi-
tion on a level surface.
Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute,
through the feed roller, to the chipper blades.
The feed chute has an extension tray that folds down.
Raise the extension tray to an upright position before tow-
ing the machine. Secure with the fastener located near
the top of the chute.
Safety chains are used, during towing, to prevent the chip-
per from completely separating from the tow vehicle in the
event the chipper detaches from the tow vehicle. Cross the
safety chains under the hitch and connect to tow vehicle.
