Adjusting the Angle of the Tongue Weldment
The Tongue Weldment can be adjusted to the horizontal
position to enable the Chipper to be towed with a tractor or
it can be adjusted to the vertical position as a Support Leg
to level and stabilize the Chipper when not hitched to a
tractor.
1. Support the front of the Base Frame with a Jack Stand
or Blocks (make sure you are off to the side of the
Tongue Weldment so it can rotate freely).
2. Pull the Hitch Clip from the Pin and remove the Pin
(Figure 22).
3. Rotate the Tongue Weldment to the vertical (support
leg) position and reinsert the Pin into the Pin Holes for
the Support Leg position.
4. Secure the Pin by inserting the Hitch Clip.
5. Reverse these procedures to Adjust to the Towing
position (non-highway) and your Chipper is now ready
to hitch to your tractor.
