The Safety Alert Symbol identies important

safety messages on the Wallenstein Wood

Processor and in the manual. When

you see this symbol, be alert to the

possibility of personal injury or death.

Follow the instructions in the safety

message.

6.2 Why is SAFETY important?

Three Big Reasons:

• Accidents Disable and Kill

• Accidents Cost

• Accidents Can Be Avoided

6.3 Signal Words

The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION determine the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual. The appropriate signal word for each message in this manual has been selected using the following guidelines:

DANGER –

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment protection with personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage to the machine.

NOTE:

(plus text) – indicates an additional explanation for an element of information.

use should the need arise and know how to use it.

• DO think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!

• DO NOT expect a person who has not read and

understood all use and safety instructions to operate the machine. An untrained operator is not

qualied and exposes himself and bystanders to

possible serious injury or death. It is the owners responsibility to the operator to ensure familiarity and understanding of the machine.

• DO NOT modify the equipment in any way.

Unauthorized modication may impair the function

and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment.

• DO NOT allow riders during transport.

• DO NOT risk injury or death by ignoring good

safety practices.

6.7 Operating Safety

• Read and heed the safety signs on the 3 Point

Hitch Wood Chipper. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are there for your safety, as well as the safety of others. The safe use of this machine is strictly up to you, the operator.

• Study this manual to make sure you have all safety equipment attached. All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices. The manufacturer has designed this 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached, to minimize the chance of accidents.

• Close and secure rotor cover before operating.

• Close and secure all guards, deectors and shields

before starting and operating.

• Read and understand operator's manual before starting. Review safety instructions annually.

• Use Personal protection equipment including hearing protection, hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving of this equipment. Do not allow

long hair, loose-tting clothing, or jewelry to be

around moving parts.

• Keep hydraulic lines and ttings tight, in good

condition and free of leaks.

• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement of equipment should occur during assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, repairing, unplugging or moving.

• Turn machine off, stop and disable engine, remove and retain ignition key, set park brake and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging the chipper. Inspect machine for damaged or loose parts before resuming work.

• Do not run machine inside a closed building to prevent asphyxiation from engine exhaust.

• Use care when feeding material into chipper. Do not put metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other foreign material into the wood chipper. If these materials enter the chipper, stop machine, turn engine off and remove ignition key before clearing the object.

BX36S 3PH Self-feed Chipper

Safety

• Never consume alcoholic beverages or use drugs which can impair alertness or coordination while operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.

• Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.

• Never allow children or unauthorized people to operate or be around this machine.

• Keep children and persons unfamiliar with machine operation away. The operator should be a responsible, physically able person trained in equipment operation. If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

• Do not reach into rotor or feed hopper openings when the engine is running. Install and secure access covers before starting engine.

• Keep the working area clean and free of debris to prevent tripping. Operate only on level ground.

• Do not point discharge at people, animals or buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough to cause injury.

• Do not move or transport chipper when the rotor is turning.

• Do not exceed a safe travel speed when transporting.

• Keep chipper resting on the ground during operation. Using the chipper while raised off the ground is dangerous and will result in damage to the machine, and potential personal injury.

• Never have the exit chute pointing towards the hopper or operator working area. Chips can come out of the chute with enough force to cause injury.

6.8 Equipment Safety Guidelines

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing equipment. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury or death, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you to follow them.

In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be used in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

1. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not readable or is missing. Location of such safety signs is indicated in this manual.

2. Do not modify the equipment in any way.

Unauthorized modication may result in serious

injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.

3. In addition to the design and conguration of this

implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety

Messages and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor and machine manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs

afxed to the tractor and the machine.

4. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely is in question – DO NOT TRY IT..

6.9 Safety Training

1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or

bystander.

2. In addition to the design and conguration of

equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.

3. The best safety feature is an informed, careful operator—we ask you to be that kind of an operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read, understand and follow ALL safety and operation instructions in the manual. Accidents can be avoided.

4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual before assembly or using the machine to acquaint yourself with it. If this machine is used by any person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented, it is the machine owner's responsibility to make certain that prior to using, the operator:

- reads and understands the owner's manual

- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment

- understands and knows how to perform the Safe Condition procedure

5. Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will use the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all use and safety instructions is not

qualied to use the machine. An untrained operator

exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with the work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

6.10 Maintenance Safety

Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing any service, maintenance work or storage preparation. See Safe Condition on page 9

Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.

Follow good shop practices.

• Keep service area clean and dry.

• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.

• Use adequate light for the job at hand.

• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.

• Before working on this machine, set the brake and turn the engine off.

• Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely.

• Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any service or maintenance work. Use heavy or leather gloves when handling blades.

• Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must be used to restore

your equipment to original specications. The

manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/ or accessories.

• A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this equipment.

6. Know your controls and how to stop the machine and the tractor quickly in an emergency. Read this manual thoroughly..

• Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all electrical and fuel connections are properly secured.

• When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed before placing unit in service.

PTO Shaft Connection

9. PTO Shaft Connection

A PTO drive line is supplied with the machine to complement the wide variety of 3-point hitches available on tractors today. The drive line length may need to be adjusted. It is very important that the drive line be free to telescope and not to bottom out when going through its working range.

IMPORTANT! If the drive line bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and could fail.

9.1 Determine Correct PTO Shaft Length

Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.

1. Attach the chipper to the tractor (see section 4.6) but do not attach the drive line.

2. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level with the tractor PTO shaft.

When cutting the drive line, follow this procedure:

6. Subtract the machine dimension (A) from the uncut

drive line dimension (B) or (B–A = C).

7. Add one inch (25 mm) to dimension (C) to determine the Cut Off dimension.

8. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from both ends. Cut both the plastic tubes and the metal cores.

3. Measure the dimension (A) between the locking grooves on the tractor PTO shaft and the machine input shaft.

4. Measure the same dimensions on the compressed drive line.

5. If the compressed drive line dimension (B) exceeds the machine dimension (A), the drive line will have to be cut.

15.4 Driveline Maintenance

The PTO drive line is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its operational range.

A heavy duty plastic tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the driving components.

The drive line should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all components function as intended.

Ensure that the universal joints are lubricated, inspect and lubricate every 8 hours.

When reassembling the driveline, ensure that the driveline is assembled "in phase", to avoid unnecessary vibration when the machine is running.

15.5 Shear Pin

The PTO drive line is designed with a shear pin at the input yoke to prevent overloading the drive system. Remove the broken parts from the yoke when the pin shears and replace with genuine Wallenstein parts.

The drive system is designed to function well without failing the shear pin. If it does fail, generally it is being fed too fast or something very hard has been jammed into the rotor or between the blades. Always unplug the system and determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resuming work. Shear pin replacements are available from your dealer

15.6 Rotor Lock Pin

All models have a rotor lock pin on the upper rotor housing. It works on a pull, twist and release principle and is a simple and reliable spring pin used to secure the rotor from moving while the upper rotor housing is open. It is designed to only be able to be engaged when the rotor housing is open, the spring pin cannot be engaged when the rotor housing is closed. This feature prevents unintended use while in operation.

The rotor lock pin should be used anytime the rotor housing is open to prevent potential injury.

15.7 Twig Breaker

(All Models except BX36S.)

The Twig Breaker is a breaker tab located on side of the lower rotor housing. The discharge paddle passes around the twig breaker and helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch. Inspect the twig breaker for damage such as gouges, a bent, or missing tooth.

A damaged or worn twig breaker should be replaced.

15.8 Rotor Blades

The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspection is recommended. Keep the blades sharp to reduce the amount of power required during operation. Watch the sharpness of the blades when processing material with a lot of sand, soil or dirt mixed with it. Reverse or sharpen the blades if the cutting edge becomes dull.

The rotor is equipped with 4 blades spaced evenly to keep the rotor in balance. If one blade needs to be changed, the one opposite should also be changed.

It is recommended that the rotor blades be removed from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen the blades at a 45° angle to provide the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade. Be sure to tighten the

blade mounting bolts to their specied torque when

re-installing the blades to the rotor.

CAUTION!

Avoid getting pinched or wedged between the lower rotor housing and rotor. The rotor is very heavy. Turn rotor slowly and be aware of hand positioning.

15.8.1 Changing Rotor Blades

Place machine in Safe Condition. (See page 9.)

1. Remove the bolt that secures the upper rotor

housing, and carefully open the rotor housing.

2. With care, slowly rotate chipper rotor plate until the rotor lock lines up with lock hole in the rotor plate.

3. Engage the rotor lock, and ensure it snaps into the lock hole. Do not allow the rotor lock to snap into the chipper blade slot, damage to the blade may result.

4. Remove the bolts that hold the rotor blade to the rotor, remove the blade.

5. Rotate the blade and reinstall or replace with new or re-sharpened blade.

NOTE:

The rotor blade may have 4 mounting holes, depending on the model. The removal / replacement procedure is the same.

6. Ensure the blade is properly oriented, with the

leading edge out. The blade is designed to t into

the rotor one way only. See diagram for proper installation.

15.9 Ledger Blades

Ledger blades shear material as it passes the moving rotor blades.

Ledger blades are located on the lower rotor housing, mounted on slotted holes for adjustment. There are four usable corners on the blade. When the corner facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install so a different corner is facing the rotor blade.

Place machine in Safe Condition (See page 9).

NOTE:

8. Tighten adjuster nuts, then tighten ledger blade

bolts. Tighten as specied in the torque chart.

2. Carefully remove the blade, pull it down and slightly to the side to clear the axle.

3. Rotate the blade and reinstall, or replace with new or re-sharpened blade.

4. Hand tighten the bolts.

5. Set the clearance between the ledger and rotor

blades using the ledger adjuster.

6. Loosen the nuts on the adjuster and move the ledger to the correct clearance at 1/32–1/16"

(.76–1.52 mm) to obtain the best performance.

15.9.1 Ledger Knife Spacer Tool

The Ledger Knife Spacer Tool is located on the lower rotor housing.

As the blade wears, it can be rotated or ipped to use

a fresh corner. If the blade is moved, it must have its clearance settings adjusted to maintain its shearing

efciency.

The best way to ensure you have the correct clearance is to use the Wallenstein Ledger Adjusting Tool. It is the correct thickness to set the recommended clearance between the rotor and stationary blades.

IMPORTANT! The clearance should be set to 1/32–1/16" (.76–1.52 mm) for optimum performance.

Depending on the chipper model, there may or may not be adjusting bolts along with mounting nuts and bolts to secure the ledger blade. Adjusting the ledger blade is the same in either case.

Place machine in Safe Condition (See page 9).

1. Remove the bolt that secures the upper rotor housing, and carefully open the rotor housing.

5. Move the ledger blade in towards the rotor blade.

6. Ensure you move the ledger evenly, so the entire

edge of the ledger is in contact with the gauge.

7. Hand tighten the fasteners, the gauge should drag slightly between the blades

8. With the gauge in place:

• Tighten adjuster nuts rst (if equipped).

• Tighten ledger blade bolts.

• Tighten all fasteners as specied in the torque chart.

9. Check that the gauge still drags slightly when you remove it.

Ledger blade is now correctly adjusted and is ready for service.

It is recommended to occasionally check the blade clearance per your chippers maintenance schedule.

NOTE:

Depending on the model, the ledger blade may have 3 or 4 mounting holes. The adjustment procedure is the same for both.

2. Carefully move the rotor so the a rotor blade overlaps the ledger blade.

3. Loosen the fasteners and / or adjusters and move the ledger away from the rotor blade.

4. Insert the gauge between the ledger blade and rotor blade
