2.1.3 Attach the Chipper Chute
Do not operate this unit without the chipper chute
correctly installed. Rotating cutting blades can
cause serious personal injury.
Mount the chipper chute to the hydraulic feed using
eight 3/8" x 1" bolts and locknuts. To insert the top
bolts, you may need to temporarily lift the grab roller
with a pry bar. Use three bolts on each side and two on
the bottom (see figure 2.2).
2.1.4 Attach the Chute Extension Tray
1. After mounting the chute to the hydraulic feed, slide
the chute extension tray over the chipper chute as
shown in figure 2.3. Make sure that you position
the lip on the extension tray behind the lip on the
chipper chute. Align the five bolt holes in the chute
extension tray with the bolt holes in the hinge.
2. Insert five 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts (included in
owner's kit packaged with the chipper) through the
tray and the extension hinge. Secure the bolts with
washers and nuts. Secure with hairpin clips.
2.1.5 Attach the Blower Discharge
Tube
Attach the blower discharge tube to the mounting flange
on the chipper frame (see figure 2.4). Half of the
mounting clamp is already attached to the tube. Slide
the tube into the flange and tighten the bolts to secure it.
Install the second half of the clamp to the tube and
flange. Rotate the tube 360 degrees and lock it in place
with the handle to make sure it is mounted correctly.
2.1.6 Connect the Control Cable
1. Remove the clevis assembly from the hydrostatic
control cable end (see figure 2.5). Remove one nut
on the cable end. Insert the cable end into the hole
in the cable anchor weldment. Replace the nut and
the clevis assembly.
2. Attach the clevis assembly to the center hole on the
feed control lever.
3. Adjust the cable detent ball to hold the control arm
is in the forward position or neutral position
detents.
