6 INCH CHIPPER

OPERATION

4.6 CHIppER FEED CoNTRoLLER

The chipper is equipped with a Plus 1 Controller that is

located on the chipper chute. the controller monitors the

chipper rotor RPM and regulates the feed roller.
When chipper Rpm drops below the preset range the

feed roller is stopped automatically to help the chipper

process backed up materials.

When the Rpm is back up to an acceptable level the

feed roller will automatically reengage.

When the hydraulic pressure is too high, (if the feed

roller becomes obstructed) the controller will reverse

the feed roller momentarily to try to remove the material

that wasn't chipped. The controller will then engage

the roller into the forward position and try to feed the

material again.

If this cycle continues, the obstruction will have to be

removed manually, or material to be chipped should

be removed, trimmed, and/or repositioned.

The controller is programmed to flash a series of error

codes.
