BEFORE USING THE CHIPPER (ALL MODELS)
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING TESTS to check safety fuctions - this
sequence of tests will only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are
carried out daily. Observing the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are working
correctly. This is also a good opportunity to remind all operators of the control and emergency stop
systems.

STARTING TO CHIP (ALL MODELS)
WARNING
Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective
guarding and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life.
!
!
CHECK that chipper is running smoothly.
RELEASE catches on the feed tray and lower. Pull to release the red emergency stop button if
necessary.
PRESS green control button. The rollers will commence turning.
STAND to one side of the feed funnel.
PROCEED to feed material into the feed funnel.
CHIPPING (ALL MODELS)
Wood up to 190 mm diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Put the butt end in first and engage it
with the feed rollers. The hydraulic feed rollers will pull the branch into the machine quite quickly.
Large diameter material will have its feed rate automatically controlled by the engine management
unit.
Sometimes a piece of wood that is a particularly awkward shape is too strong for the feed rollers to
break. This will cause the top roller to either bounce up and down on the wood or both rollers to stall.
If this occurs press the BLUE REVERSE button until the material has been released. Pull the material
out of the feed funnel and trim it so the chipper can process it.
Both feed rollers should always turn at the same speed. If one or both rollers stop or suddenly slow
down it may be that a piece of wood has become stuck behind one of the rollers. If this occurs press
the BLUE REVERSE button and hold for 2 seconds - then repress GREEN FEED button. This should
enable the rollers to free the offending piece of material and continue rotation at the correct speed. If
the rollers continue to stall in the 'forward feed' or 'reverse feed' position push the RED STOP
BUTTON, turn engine off, remove ignition key and investigate.
