Operation
MOUNTING THE CHIPPER TO THE SKID STEER
The chipper can be mounted to the skid
steer in two locations. The recom-
mended location is with the feed table
sitting at the front of the loader. How-
ever, if space is a concern, the unit can
be mounted with the feed table sitting
to the right of the machine.
1. Tilt the universal skid steer mount
forward.
2. Make sure that the wedges are fully
raised.
3. Drive the skid steer forward until the
top edge of the coupler is completely
under the top flange on the chipper.
4. Tilt the unit backward until the chip-
per is slightly off the ground.
5. Kill the engine and exit the machine
to push down the wedges using the
universal skid steer mount levers
(See Fig. #10). On automated mod-
els stay in the machine and engage
the wedges.
WARNING
The wedges must extend through
the holes in the mounting frame of
the chipper to securely fasten the
chipper to the universal skid steer
mount. Failure to secure wedges
can allow attachment to come off
and cause injury or death.
