OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this chipper. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the tractor, chipper, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5 through page 11.
Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from area of operation.
CAUTION
Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Do not put chipper into service unless all shields and guards are in place and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
CHIPPER PRE-OPERATION
The chipping operation takes place on the side of the machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are mounted on a rotating rotor assembly. Material fed into
the chipper hopper is sliced into small chips and propelled out though the discharge cap. The chips can be diverted into a container or onto the ground.
As with any other piece of power equipment, getting to know the feel for how your machine operates and getting to know the best techniques for particular jobs are important to overall good performance.
NOTE: For operation of this chipper, references to right, left, forward, and rearward directions are determined from the operator’s position in the tractor seat.
ATTACHING CHIPPER TO TRACTOR
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.
IMPORTANT
■ Avoid driveline angle greater than 15-degrees up and down when the chipper is in use.
1.Attach chipper hitch pins to tractor 3-point lower lift arms and secure.
2.Attach tractor top link to chipper clevis and secure with tractor top link pin.
3.Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft.
NOTE: The minimum and maximum telescoping on the PTO shaft is 18.11 inches to 24.49 inches. The PTO shaft may need to be shortened depending on the tractor the chipper is mounted on. To shorten the PTO shaft see Shorten Driveline, page 26.
4.Slide slip collar back or push slip pin in to make connection.
5.Make sure connection is secure. Slip collar or slip pin should snap back into original position.
6.Adjust the tractor 3-point arm anti-sway devices to prevent chipper from swaying side-to-side during transport. Adjust top link so chipper is level front to back.
7.Adjust or remove tractor drawbar so that it will not interfere with chipper or driveline.
