4. Chipper Chute: Feeds materials to the chipper
blades for chipping.
5. Leg Stands: Never move machine unless 3
point is lifted and legs clear the ground.
6. Rotor Access Cover: Tilts up to remove chipper
blades and to service rotor assembly.

grees.
8. Adjustable Chipping Anvil: Adjusts to vary the
size of chips.
9. Rotor Shaft Bearing Cover: Rotor shaft has
lock assembly to lock rotor in place while
servicing.
NOTE: Minimum and maximum telescoping on the
PTO shaft is 20-28 inches. This will leave 4 inches
overlap at maximum telescoping distance (see figure
10.13).
Caution: Wear safety glasses at all times when
operating the machine. Do not wear loose
fitting clothing. The operator should always wear
heavy boots, gloves, pants and shirt. Use common
sense and practice safety to protect yourself from
branches, sharp objects and other harmful objects.
Note: The heavy rotor will continue to turn for some
time after the engine or tractor has been shut off. You
can tell that the rotor has stopped when no noise or
machine vibration is present. Inserting a branch into
the chipper chute to contact the blades will slow the
rotor and shorten stopping time.
