Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

THIS IS A HIGH-POWERED MACHINE, WITH MOVING PARTS OPERATING WITH HIGH ENERGY AT HIGH SPEEDS. YOU MUST OPERATE THE MACHINE SAFELY. UNSAFE OPERATION CAN CREATE A NUMBER OF HAZARDS FOR YOU, AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE IN THE NEARBY AREA. ALWAYS TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THIS MACHINE:

• ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHILE

CHIPPING TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM POSSIBLE THROWN DEBRIS.

• AVOID WEARING LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY, WHICH CAN CATCH ON MOVING PARTS OR

THE MATERIAL FED INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER.

• WE RECOMMEND WEARING GLOVES WHILE CHIPPING. BE SURE YOUR GLOVES FIT PROPERLY

AND DO NOT HAVE LOOSE CUFFS OR DRAWSTRINGS.

• WEAR SHOES WITH NON-SLIP TREADS WHEN USING YOUR CHIPPER. IF YOU HAVE SAFETY

SHOES, WE RECOMMEND WEARING THEM. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHILE BAREFOOT OR WEARING OPEN SANDALS.

• WEAR LONG PANTS WHILE OPERATING THE 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER.

• USE EAR PROTECTORS OR EAR PLUGS RATED FOR AT LEAST 20 DBA TO PROTECT YOUR

• NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS, FEET, OR ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN THE CHIPPER HOPPER,

DISCHARGE OPENING, OR NEAR OR UNDER ANY MOVING PART WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING. KEEP AREA OF DISCHARGE CLEAR OF PEOPLE, ANIMALS, BUILDINGS, GLASS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WILL OBSTRUCT CLEAR DISCHARGE, CAUSE INJURY, OR DAMAGE. WIND CAN ALSO CHANGE DISCHARGE DIRECTION, SO BE AWARE. IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO PUSH MATERIAL INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER, USE A SMALL DIAMETER STICK, NOT WITH YOUR HANDS.

• KEEP BYSTANDERS 100 FEET AWAY FROM YOUR WORK AREA AT ALL TIMES. WOOD CHIPS EXIT

THE CHIPPER AT GREAT SPEEDS. TO BE SAFE, DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE NEAR SMALL CHILDREN OR PETS, AND NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THE CHIPPER. STOP THE ENGINE WHEN ANOTHER PERSON OR PET APPROACHES.

OR THE FLYWHEEL IS TURNING.

• THE MUFFLER AND ENGINE BECOME VERY HOT AND CAN CAUSE A SEVERE BURN; DO NOT

TOUCH.

• CLEAR THE AREA OF OBJECTS SUCH AS WIRE AND ROPE, ETC. INSERTING THESE OBJECTS INTO

Safety for Children and Pets

TRAGIC ACCIDENTS CAN OCCUR IF THE OPERATOR IS NOT ALERT TO THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN AND PETS. CHILDREN ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO THE MACHINE AND THE CHIPPING ACTIVITY.

NEVER

THESE PRECAUTIONS:

ASSUME THAT CHILDREN WILL REMAIN WHERE YOU LAST SAW THEM. ALWAYS FOLLOW

UNNING

• KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM THE WORKING AREA AND UNDER THE

WATCHFUL CARE OF A RESPONSIBLE ADULT.

• BE ALERT AND TURN THE MACHINE OFF IF CHILDREN OR PETS ENTER THE WORK AREA.

• NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THE 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER.

Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines

GASOLINE IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. GASOLINE ALSO GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR THAT CAN BE EASILY IGNITED AND CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. NEVER OVERLOOK THE HAZARDS OF GASOLINE. ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:

• NEVER RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION AS THE

EXHAUST FROM THE ENGINE CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH IS AN ODORLESS, TASTELESS, AND DEADLY POISONOUS GAS.

• STORE ALL FUEL AND OIL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND APPROVED FOR THIS

PURPOSE AND KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME, AND OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• REPLACE RUBBER FUEL LINES AND GROMMETS WHEN WORN OR DAMAGED AND AFTER 5 YEARS

OF USE.

• FILL THE GASOLINE TANK OUTDOORS WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL

COMPLETELY. DON'T HANDLE GASOLINE IF YOU OR ANYONE NEARBY IS SMOKING, OR IF YOU'RE NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE. REINSTALL THE FUEL TANK A

FUEL CONTAINER CAPS SECURELY.

• IF YOU SPILL GASOLINE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. MOVE THE MACHINE AWAY

FROM THE AREA OF THE SPILL AND

AVOID CREATING ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL THE GAS

VAPORS HAVE DISSIPATED. WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE WASTE.

• ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE. NEVER STORE

THE MACHINE WITH GAS IN THE TANK OR A FUEL CONTAINER NEAR AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK SUCH AS A WATER HEATER, SPACE HEATER, CLOTHES DRYER OR FURNACE.

• NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING OR FLYWHEEL TURNING.

SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THE FLYWHEEL WILL CONTINUE ROTATING FOR A WHILE AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN), DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS.

• NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE’S GOVERNOR SETTING. THE GOVERNOR CONTROLS THE

MAXIMUM SAFE OPERATION SPEED AND PROTECTS THE ENGINE. OVER-SPEEDING THE ENGINE IS DANGEROUS AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND TO THE OTHER MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE. IF REQUIRED, SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ENGINE GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENTS.

Towing Safety (applies only if Road-Towing Package is installed)

• BEFORE TOWING, BE CERTAIN THE 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER IS CORRECTLY AND

SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE AND THE SAFETY CHAINS ARE IN PLACE. LEAVE SLACK IN THE CHAINS TO ALLOW FOR TURNING.

• NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON THE 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER.

• NEVER TRANSPORT ANYTHING ON THE MACHINE.

• OBEY LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS WHEN YOU TOW THE CHIPPER ON PUBLIC

CROSSING INTERSECTIONS.

• ADJUST YOUR TOWING SPEED FOR TERRAIN AND CONDITIONS. DO NOT EXCEED 45 MPH

WHILE TOWING THE CHIPPER.

• YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS MACHINE IS SHIPPED WITHOUT

OIL. TRACES OF OIL MAY BE IN THE RESERVOIR FROM FACTORY TESTING, BUT

YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. FILL THE RESERVOIR SLOWLY CHECKING THE DIPSTICK FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVERFILLING.

• TO GET AN ACCURATE READING WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL:

- THE MACHINE SHOULD BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.

- THE DIPSTICK

SHOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND TURNED A QUARTER TURN

CLOCKWISE TO ENSURE AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL READING.

Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the gas and oil fills until you are ready to

pour either gasoline or oil into the correct fill.

NOTE: Use SAE 30 high detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special

additives. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.

Adding Oil

1. Place the machine on a level surface and remove the

Dipstick (clean the end of the Dipstick with a rag) (Figure 11).

2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Add 1/2 of the SAE

30 high detergent oil recommended by the engine manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle.

3. Replace the Dipstick all the way in and turn a quarter

CHAPTER 4

OPERATING YOUR 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER

This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER and discusses basic operation features.

• THE DESIGN OF THIS MACHINE IS FOR CHIPPING WOOD. NEVER USE THIS MACHINE FOR ANY

OTHER PURPOSE AS IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

• CONTACT WITH INTERNAL ROTATING PARTS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER PUT

HANDS, FACE, FEET, OR CLOTHING INTO CHIPPER HOPPER OR DISCHARGE OPENING OR NEAR THE DISCHARGE AREA AT ANY TIME.

• BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, SHUT DOWN THE

ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THE FLYWHEEL WILL CONTINUE ROTATING FOR A WHILE AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN), DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, THEN WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. USE ONLY A WOODEN STICK TO CLEAR

AMMED MATERIAL.

Before Starting the Engine

1. Check the oil level every time

DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER. Add oil if needed (see Chapter 3 section “Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline”.

2. Check the fuel level. Add fuel as needed (see Chapter 3

section “Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline”.

3. Ensure that the Fuel Shut-Off Valve is in the “ON”

position (Figure 14).

4. Remove any debris buildup from the machine

every use of the Chipper.

NOTE: Check and re-tighten the Drive Belt, if necessary, after

an initial break-in period of one (1) hour (see Chapter 5 “Maintaining the 16.50 Pro DR Rapid-Feed Chipper”).

• Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage before

each use of the machine. See “VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE CHIPPER KNIFE (before each use)” in Chapter 5 for info on accessing the Chipper Knife.

• At engine start-up, the engine of your DR CHIPPER

operates under no load until approximately 1800 RPM, at which speed the Centrifugal Clutch engages and begins driving the Rotor Assembly. Always operate the Engine at full speed when chipping (3400 +/- 200 RPM).

• Only operate the DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER from the

Operator Zones shown in Figure 15.

• Keep proper balance and footing while operating the

DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER.

• ALWAYS stop the engine when leaving the Operating

Zones or when moving the machine.

• Never move the Chipper while the engine is running or

the Flywheel is turning.

Processing Material

• ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHILE CHIPPING

TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM POSSIBLE THROWN DEBRIS.

• AVOID WEARING LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY, WHICH MIGHT CATCH ON MOVING PARTS OR

THE MATERIAL FED INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER.

• WE RECOMMEND WEARING GLOVES WHILE CHIPPING. BE SURE YOUR GLOVES FIT PROPERLY

AND DO NOT HAVE LOOSE CUFFS OR DRAWSTRINGS.

• WEAR SHOES WITH NON-SLIP TREADS WHEN USING YOUR CHIPPER. IF YOU HAVE SAFETY

SHOES, WE RECOMMEND WEARING THEM. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHILE BAREFOOT OR WEARING OPEN SANDALS.

• WEAR LONG PANTS WHILE OPERATING THE DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER.

• USE EAR PROTECTORS OR EAR PLUGS RATED FOR AT LEAST 20 DBA TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING.

The Chipper is des branches fed into the Chipper Hopper into “chips”. The Chipper can chip branches and ranging in size up to 4-1/2" in diameter. Cut your materials into manageable lengths before feeding them into the Chipper Hopper.

USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THE MACHINE. LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THE CHANGE IN SOUNDS WHEN OVERLOADED. TURN OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY IF THE MACHINE BECOMES JAMMED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SYSTEM.

• Your DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER can process dry or green wood up to 4.5" in diameter.

• The Chipper will self-feed

the wood once it contacts the knife edge so forcing the branches into the

Hopper is not necessary if the knife is sharp.

• Green wood will process quicker and easier than dry wood.

• Softwood processes easier than hardwood.

• ifferent types of wood will chip and how fast you can

Your operator experience will teach you how d process them.

• When chipping branches, sometimes a tail will develop at the end of a branch. To avoid this, rotate

the branch while feeding it into the Chipper Hopper.

• nch as you feed it into the machine will improve chipping performance.

Rotating the bra

• Use caution with small diameter green saplings and branches less than 2" in diameter. Chip these

grouped or bundled together to provide support for each other. If the material is 2" or larger, feed only one at a time into the Chipper Hopper.

• Make sure the DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER finishes processing material in the Hopper before shutting

the engine off.

• machine does not chip well, the Chipper Knife may

Do not force material into the Chipper. If the need sharpening or replacement, or the gap between the Knife and the Wear Plate needs adjusting. See “Removing, Replacing and Adjusting the Chipper Knife and Wear Plate” in Chapter 5.

Cut the material to be chipped into manageable lengths of no more than five or six feet long before chipping them.

• Overloading the Chipper Hopper will cause the rotor speed to decrease. If you hear the engine RPM

decreasing, stop feeding material into the Chippe

r Hopper until the engine has returned to full

speed.

Checki ang nd Adjusting the Knife to Wear Plate Gap

When you replace the Knife you must check and set the clearance between the Knife and Wear Plate. Set this clearance or gap to 1/16" by using the Gap Tool that is supplied with the Chipper and with a new Knife kit. If the gap between the Wear Plate and the Knife is not set correctly, you will have excessive vibration when chipping and the Knife will seem to and be free of dents

or gouges. The Wear Plate can be hand sharpened (see steps below). Be careful

Daily Checklist for the 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER

To help maintain your 16.50 PRO DR RAPID-FEED CHIPPER for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your Chipper.

[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the Engine oil level with the Dipstick and add more

if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the Dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use SAE 30 high detergent motor oil.

[ ] GAS: Fill the Fuel Tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the Engine clean of debris. Remove

leaves and other built-up materials from the Air Intake Screen before, during, and after using the Chipper. Regularly remove debris from the Cooling Fins. A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause damage to the internal Engine parts.

[ ] BELT: Check the Belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.

[ ] KNIFE and WEAR PLATE: Check the Knife and Wear Plate for tightness, nicks and wear.

[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc.

[ ] HOPPER: Check that there is no material left in the hopper before starting the Chipper.

[ ] TIRES: Check that there the proper amount of air in the Tires.
