BLOCKAGES (ALL MODELS)
Always be aware that what you are putting into the chipper must come out. If the chips stop coming out of the
discharge tube but the chipper is taking material in - STOP IMMEDIATELY. Continuing to feed material into a
blocked machine may cause damage and will make it difficult to clear.
If the chipper becomes blocked proceed as follows:
STOP the engine and remove the keys.
REMOVE the two rotor housing bolts.
OPEN the rotor housing fully.
THE material causing the blockage should fall clear.
EMPTY loose debris from inside the rotor housing.
CHECK that the discharge tube is clear before continuing.
THE rotor housing does not have to be completely clear to continue.
SHUT the rotor housing and replace both bolts securely.
RESTART the engine.
ALLOW machine time to clear excess chips still remaining in rotor housing before you continue feeding
brushwood. Feed in a small piece of wood while watching to make sure that it comes out of the discharge. If this
does not clear the blockage, repeat the process and carefully inspect the discharge tube to find any obstruction.
NOTE
Continuing to feed the chipper with brushwood once it has become blocked will cause the chipper to compact
the chips in the rotor housing and it will be difficult and time consuming to clear.
AVOID THIS SITUATION - WATCH THE DISCHARGE TUBE AT ALL TIMES.

WARNING
Do not reach into the rotor housing with unprotected hands. There are
sharp blades and any small movement of the rotor may cause serious injury.
AUTO CONTROLS (ALL MODELS)
The engine should be set at full speed regardless of the size of wood to be processed. The chipper
has a control unit that regulates the maximum permissible load applied to the engine when processing
wood. The unit regulates the load by means of automatically turning the feed rollers off and on. This
unit is not adjustable and preset at the factory. NOTE: When the engine is set at low speed the unit
will remove the forward rollers function. The reverse roller function can be operated at any engine
speed. Warning: The roller can restart automatically without warning.
DISCHARGE CONTROLS (ALL MODELS)
Controlling the discharge is an essential part of safe working.
