STEP V – ATTACHING THE SWIVEL TOP AND DEFLECTOR
• To attach the swivel top (#44) to the discharge chute (#40) take three 5/16-18 X ¾” carriage bolts (#41),
two 5/16-18 nylock nuts (#2), three 3/8” flat-washers (#42), and the locking knob (#45) from the bolt bag.
• Hold the Swivel Top (item #10) in place and insert two of the 5/16-18 x ¾” carriage bolts (#41) through two
3/8” washers (#42) and then through both the top two slots of the swivel base (#43) on the discharge chute
(#40, pg. xx), and the top two holes on the swivel top (#44). Secure snuggly with two 5/16-18 nylock nuts
(#2).
• Insert a 5/16-18 X ¾” carriage bolt through a 3/8” flat-washer and then the lower slot, and hole and secure
with the locking knob (#45).
• To attach the deflector (#46), take two 5/16-18 X ¾” bolts (#47), and two 5/16-18 nylock nuts(#2) from the
bolt-bag.
• Hold the deflector in place and insert two of the 5/16-18 x ¾” bolts, from the inside out, through swivel top
(#44), and then through the deflector (#46).
• Secure the deflector snuggly with two 5/16-18 nylock nuts (#2).
INSTALLATION
• Many category 0 tractors permit direct mounting to the lower support pins on the frame of the chipper. If the
lower hitch arms on your tractor do not have enough inward adjustment to attach to the lower support pins, a
pair of pin extensions may be required to allow proper mounting of the chipper to the tractor.
• The bushings included, one upper (item #8, pg 24) and two lower (item #14, pg 24), should be used on the
upper and lower mount pins of the chipper if attaching the unit to a category 1 tractor.
• The P.T.O. driveshaft provided with this machine is sized to fit a standard category 1 P.T.O. (1 3/8” x 6 spline).
• The P.T.O. shaft on the tractor that is to use this chipper must rotate clockwise when viewing the P.T.O. from
the rear of the tractor. If the P.T.O. rotates counterclockwise, you must have your tractor modified by installing
a gear box to reverse the direction of rotation.
• Depending on the mounting dimensions of the tractor, it may be necessary to have your dealer or yourself
modify the length of the P.T.O. driveshaft that is included with this chipper. Instructions follow for this
procedure.
• The ¼” x ¼” x 1 ½” key in the bolt bag must be installed where the P.T.O. shaft attaches to the chipper.
Failure to do so will result in damage to the chipper that will not be covered under warranty.
