7 4.5 INCH HYDRAULIC CHIPPER
OPERATION
Consult the owner's manual for your utility loader
before mounting the chipper!
The chipper is equipped to attach to flush face couplers.
The chipper is shipped with -10 size hydraulic couplers
fitted on the hoses. If your utility loader is fitted with
anything other than -10 sized flush face couplers on the
main lines, you must replace the couplers supplied with
the chipper.
A tie wrap is used to indicate the pressure line. Be
sure to connect the hydraulic hoses to the proper ports.
4.4 CONNECTING COUPLERS
Hydraulic lines may be under pressure due to testing
done at the factory.
WARNING
TO CONNECT:
1. Stop the engine on the utility loader.
2. Remove dirt and debris from the surface of the couplers.
3. Visually check the couplers for damage; replace if
damage is found.
4. Relieve the hydraulic pressure in the utility loader (see
your owner's manual).
5. Push the chipper male coupler into the loader female
coupler. Full connection is made when the ball release
sleeve slides forward on the
female coupler.
6. Turn the sleeve so that it is
rotated away from the locking
pin to prevent accidental
disconnection.
7. Push the chipper female
coupler into the loader male
coupler.
TO DISCONNECT:
1. Lower the chipper to the
ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Relieve pressure on the
hydraulic couplers (see your
owner's manual).
4. Rotate the ball sleeve so the
grooves are aligned with the
pins in the female coupler.
5. Retract the sleeve on the
female coupler until the
couplers disconnect.
6. Repeat for the male hose.
Handle pressurized hydraulic fluid carefully. Escaping
pressurized hydraulic fluid may penetrate your skin
causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot
enough to burn. Serious infection or reactions can
develop if immediate proper medical treatment is not
administered.
WARNING
4.5 STARTING THE CHIPPER
4.6 STOPPING THE CHIPPER
Running the utility loader chipper is a one- or two-person
operation. If the loader requires an operator in the
driveseat, two people are needed. The chipper engages
with the hydraulics of the utility loader.
1. Set parking brake.
2. Engage the hydraulics of the utility loader to supply
power to the unit. The chipper will start to spin.
3. Bring the unit up to speed.
4. The chipper is ready to chip.
Slow down the engine of the utility loader to idle and after
several seconds disengage the utility loader hydraulics.
