2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

1. 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, follow them.

2. 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.

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

7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question - DON'T TRY IT.

8. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-

authorized modication may result in serious

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

9. 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 engine and machine manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs

afxed to the tow vehicle and the machine.

4. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while using this equipment. Consult your doctor about using this machine while taking prescription medications.

5. Under no circumstances should young

children be allowed to work with this equipment. Do not allow persons to use or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works. Review the safety

instructions with all users annually.

6. This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a responsible, properly trained and physically able person familiar with machinery and trained in this equipment's operations. If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

2.3 SAFETY TRAINING

2.4 SAFETY SIGNS

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. It has been said, "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 and understand ALL Safety and Using instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.

4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can

lead to careless injuries. Read this manual before assembly or using, to acquaint yourself with the machine. 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 the operator, prior to using:

a. Reads and understands the operator's

manuals.

b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.

5. Know your controls and how to stop tow unit,

engine and machine quickly in an emergency.

Read this manual and the one provided with your engine.

6. 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 using

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.

1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.

2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible.

3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.

4. Safety signs in Section 3 each have a part number displayed with it. Use this part number when ordering replacement parts.

5. Safety signs are available from your authorized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory.

How to Install Safety Signs:

• Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry.

• Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).

• Determine exact position before you remove the backing paper.

• Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper.

• Align the sign over the specied area and

carefully press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place.

• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in place.

• Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of sign backing paper.

2.5 PREPARATION

2.6 MAINTENANCE SAFETY

1. Never use the engine and machine until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Engine Operator's Manual and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the engine and machine.

2. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving

the unit. Do not allow long hair, loose tting

clothing or jewellery to be around equipment.

3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE

TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!

Power equipment with or

without equipment attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

4. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden obstacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing injury or damage.

5. Use only in daylight or good articial light.

6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.

7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Before working on this machine, shut off the engine, set the brake, and turn fuel valve off.

5. Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

9. Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all electrical and fuel connections are properly secured to ensure unit is in a safe condition.

7.2.4 BELT TENSION

The machine is designed with a centrifugal clutch on the engine shaft when engaged is used to drive

the rotor plate sheave.

When the belt is in disrepair or loose, the ability to efciently drive rotor may be affected.

Therefore it is important to periodically check the condition as well as the tension of the belt.

Frayed, cracked or worn drive belts should be replaced. Drive belt should deect no more than 1/2 to

5/8" (13 mm to 16 mm). For accurate measurement use a drive belt tension gauge. Contact your dealer for more information on belt tension.

Drive Belt Tension Check and Adjustment:

1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed).

2. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the belt guard to the chipper, remove the belt guard.

3. Check the tension by pushing on the belt with

your fore nger and measure its defection. Drive belt should deect no more than 1/2 to 5/8" (13

mm to 16 mm).

4. If the belt requires adjustment, lift and secure the hopper, loosen (do not remove) the 4 x bolts that hold the engine mount to the main frame, (access from the front of the motor, under the

motor mount: see g 23).

1. To tighten turn clockwise

2. To loosen turn counter-clockwise.

5. Turn the belt tensioning bolt clockwise, to pull the engine mount outwards to tighten the belt or turn the bolt clockwise, to loosen the belt.

6. Snug 1 bolt on each side of the engine mount.

7. Check the tension by pushing on the belt with

your fore nger and measure its defection. Drive belt should deect no more than 1/2 to

5/8" (13 mm to 16 mm).

7.2.5 SHEAVE ALIGNMENT

A set of V belts transmits rotational power to the rotor. They must be kept properly tensioned and the sheaves aligned to obtain the expected performance and life. For maximum accuracy, have your sheaves aligned with a laser alignment tool. Contact your dealer for information on laser alignment.

Alignment may be carried out using a straight edge, to check the alignment, follow this procedure:

1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.

2. Turn machine off, stop engine, remove ignition key and place in pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop.

3. Remove the belt guard and upper belt guard.

4. Have a straight edge at least 50" (127cm) in length.

5. Place the straight edge along the face on the back of the clutch, and place the opposite end along the back face of the rotor sheave.

6. Check to see if there is a gap between the straight edge and the clutch or the sheave, measure the gap (A).

7. If there is more than 1/32" (.8mm) offset then adjustment is required.

8. To adjust alignment:

a. Loosen the set screw on the bushing at-

tached to rotor sheave.

b. Remove the 3 hex bolts on the bushing,

and thread them into the tapped holes on the bushing.

c. Tighten the hex bolts progressively with

1/4 turns until bushing is free from the sheave taper.

d. Move the sheave to the required position

to align the belt.

e. If the offset is 1/32 (.8mm) or less then no

more adjustment is necessary.

Note: movement of the

sheave may occur when

tightening the bushing, some

allowance for movement

may be required.

f. Align drilled holes with tapped holes on the

sheave, replace and hand tighten the 3 hex bolts.

g. Tighten the set screw and recheck align-

ment.

h. Carefully tighten hex bolts progressively

(1/4 turns) and uniformly until rmly seated.

i. Recheck belt tension and assemble belt

guards.

7.2.6 BLADE AND BREAKER MAINTENANCE:

The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the Chipper to perform as expected. Periodic inspec-

tion 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.

Rotor Blades:

The rotor is equipped with 2 blades (BXT4213, BXT4214su, BXT4224, BXT4228su) or 4 blades

(BXT6224, BXT6228su, BXT6238) spaced evenly to keep the rotor in balance. If one 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.

1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed).

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

3. Manually rotate chipper rotor plate so that the blade is fully exposed

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.

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.

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

8. Repeat steps for second blade.

Fig. 26 ROTOR BLADE

Ledger Blades:

Each machine is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor

blades.

The ledger blade is designed with 4 usable corners. When the corner facing the rotor blade rounds

over, remove the blade and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade. It is recommended that the clearance between the rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16 " (.76

- 1.52 mm) to obtain the best performance.

1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed).

2. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the ledger blade to the ledger mount, remove the blade.

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

4. Hand tighten the bolts and set the clearance between the ledger and rotor blades at 1/32 - 1/16" (.76 - 1.52 mm). For fast and easy setting, use our chipper clearance setting gauge, available from your dealer (see accessories)

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

Twig Breaker:

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 twig breaker should be replaced. If the tooth is showing wear, remove and replace the twig breaker.

1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed).

2. Remove the 2 bolts and nuts that hold the twig breaker to the housing, remove the twig breaker.

3. Reverse the steps to install the new twig breaker.
