Before inspecting or servicing any part of this machine,
shut off power source, remove key, disconnect the
battery cables and make sure all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.

FITS MODELS: 6" CHIPPERS
These instructions will describe how to install the Plus 1
controller.
CH6670H (76624), CH611DH
(76628), CH6993H (76635)
1. CONFIRM KILL SWITCH WAS REWIRED ON CH6670H
Before installing the Plus 1 controller, confirm that the kill switch on the CH6670H has been correctly rewired as described
in Service Bulletin 07-007 (see Distributor/Dealer Tools at http://bearcatproducts.com/).
2. REMOVE SNUBBER HARNESS IF ONE WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED
The Plus 1 Controller will not work if a snubber harness
was previously installed on your chipper. To check this,
look at the valve assembly (pictured at right).
If your valve assembly looks like the one pictured,•
a snubber harness was not installed on your machine
and you may procede with Plus 1 installation.
If your valve assembly does not look like the one •
pictured because a snubber harness was connected
in the places shown by arrows, you must unplug the
connectors, remove the snubber harness, and plug
the connectors back in so that your valve assembly
looks like the one shown here.

3. DRILL MOUNTING HOLES
To mount the Plus 1 controller on the engine shield brace, drill two holes 11/32" in diameter in the shield brace in the
positions shown below. They should be drilled on the side of the machine closest to the control panel. (Note: in newer
machines these holes have already been drilled.)

Bolt the Plus 1 controller to the controller plate with two (2) 1" bolts, two (2) 2" hex bolts and four (4) bumpers as 2.
shown below.
5. MOUNT THE TRI-COLOR LED
The Tri-Color LED mounts on the chipper control panel, which is located on the side of the chipper. Note that the
mounting location is different for the gas and diesel models. See Section 5.1 for gas engine models or 5.2 for diesel
engine models.
IMPORTANT
Take care not to damage the existing wiring when
drilling the hole for the LED!

Note that the instructions for this step are different for European and Domestic machines. Choose the section below
that is correct for your machine.
DOMESTIC (US) MACHINES:
Unplug the main harness from the existing SmartRelay 1.
controller.
Locate the three connectors on the Plus 1 harness.2.
The connector with the triangular end is NOT USED.3.
Plug the 6-pin connector into the corresponding 6-pin 4.
connector on the main harness.
Plug the 4-pin connector into the 4-pin connector on 5.
the main harness.
There will be two 2-pin connectors left over on the main 6.
harness. Tape them together and out of the way.
Plug the two black and gray connectors on the other 7.
end of the Plus 1 harness to the corresponding
receptors on the Plus 1 controller.
EUROPEAN MACHINES:
Unplug the main harness from the existing SmartRelay 1.
controller.
Locate the four connectors on the Plus 1 harness.2.
The connector with the triangular end is NOT USED.3.
Plug the 6-pin connector into the corresponding 6-pin 4.
connector on the main harness.
Plug the 4-pin connector into the 4-pin connector on 5.
the main harness.
Plug the 2-pin connector into the red/black and light 6.

8. HOOK UP THE LED
Connect the three wires on the Plus 1 harness to the LED as shown below.
If the wires are correctly connected, the light will flash red upon initial startup. If the light flashes green, the wires are
reversed. After initial startup, see Control Light Flash Codes chart for an explaination of all color codes.
9. OPERATION
Upon initial startup, make sure the chipper is in Neutral (Stop) position. If the chipper feed control is in any other 1.
position, the LED will flash red and forward feed will not be available.
Upon initial startup, if the chipper is in Neutral position, the LED will flash green, indicating that the RPM is not high 2.
enough to chip (see Optimal Rotor and Engine RPM chart).
Increase RPM gradually until the LED is solid green. Forward feed is now available.3.
See the Control Light Flash Codes table on the following page for a complete explaination of all flash codes provided 4.
by the LED. Save these instructions for future reference.
10. OPTIONAL REMOVAL OF SMARTRELAY
Once you have used the Plus 1 controller long enough to verify that it works correctly, the SmartRelay controller can be
removed along with the box that it is located in. A plate to cover the SmartRelay opening is provided with this kit, along
with the necessary hardware.
