CONTROLS AND OPERATION

3.7 lofa conTrol Programming

noTe

When approaching the end of a log, it may be necessary

to manually override the automatic feed sensor. Be sure

to pay attention to the engine speed and feeding of

the material.

STeP 1. iniTiaTing Program mode

Hold down the “S” button while turning the engine key

to the “on” position until “l” starts to flash on the lCD

(Figure 3.8).

STeP 2. enTer loW (l = loW) rPm

The low setting is the RPM speed where the feed roller

stops. The “up” arrow increases the RPM setting, while

the “down” arrow decreases the RPM setting. Setting the

speed lower causes the engine to lug down more before

the feed roller stops.

Hold the appropriate (either up or down) arrow until

1.

the desired RPM speed is displayed (Recommended

1375 rpm).
Push the “S” button once with the desired RPM setting

2.

displayed to save. Do not choose a setting equal to

or below zero.

STeP 3. enTer normal

(n = normal) rPm

The normal setting is the RPM speed that the chipper rotor

usually rotates

Hold the appropriate (either up or down) arrow until

1.

the desired RPM speed is displayed (Recommended

1500 rpm).
Push the “S” button once with the desired RPM setting

2.

displayed to save.

STeP 4. enTer high (h = high) rPm

The high setting is not needed with this application.

Set to zero to deactivate.

1.

Push the “S” button once with zero displayed to

2.

save.

STeP 5. enTer reTurn

(reT = reTurn) rPm

The return setting is the RPM speed where the feed roller

restarts. The feed roller should restart before the rotor

reaches “normal” RPM to maximize chipper efficiency.

Setting the speed higher allows the engine to recover more

before the feed roller restarts.

Hold the appropriate (either up or down) arrow until

1.

the desired RPM speed is displayed (Recommended

1400 rpm).

STeP 6. enTer number of PoleS

(iPu=number

of PoleS)

The number of poles is used to indicate the number of

speed pickup devices.

Hold the appropriate (either up or down) arrow until

1.

(1) is displayed.
Push the "S" button once with one (1) displayed to

2.

save.
