17 6 INCH CHIPPER
ENGLISH
OPERATION
This machine is equipped with a flow control to vary
the speed of the feed roller. This allows the operator to
increase the feed speed when processing smaller material
and lower the speed when handling material close to the
maximum capacity of the machine. It is recommended that
operators start using the machine at the lower limits of the
speed control and slowly increase the speed, according to
the size and hardness of the material being chipped.
While occasional stopping and starting of the feed roller
is normal, frequent stopping and starting of the feed
roller and/or rapid decreases in chipper rotor rpms is an
indication that the feed speed is too high. Continued
operation under such conditions can result in plugging of
the discharge, belt damage, and inefficient operation.
Recommended Procedure:
Turn the flow control knob fully clockwise to bring the
feed roller to a stop. Turn the flow control knob counter
clockwise two full turns and begin feeding material into the
chipper. Adjust as needed.
