Frontier Chippers are designed to chip natural, untreated wood only. Materials that are processed may contain chemicals or by-products that could corrode the machine, damage the blades, or spon- taneously combust. Frontier Equipment will not cover under warranty any chipper that has been used for anything besides natural wood. - Page 5 SAFETY Do not operate this machine until this manual has been read and fully understood; serious injury or death can occur if these safety warnings are ignored!

Page 9: Chip Chute Adjustments
OPERATION Chip chute adjustments To position the chip chute, loosen the set bolt (Figure 3) and rotate the chute to the desired position, then retighten the set bolt. The chute conveniently rotates a full 360 degrees. Be sure the set bolt is tight and the chute is locked in place before transporting the chipper! Deflector The chip deflector easily adjusts to regulate the distance that the chips are thrown. -
Page 10: Feeding Material
OPERATION Feeding Material The flow control valve (Figure 5) will control the speed of the material being fed into the chipper, The tractor’s hydraulic pressure will also contribute to the speed of the feed. To adjust the speed of the feed system, find a small branch and feed it into the chipper with the feed adjusted to 3 or 4 and keep adjusting up until the chips are 3/8 to 1/2 inch (9-12mm) thick. - Page 11 OPERATION Feeding Material, Cont’d The optional tachometer(Figure 7) and shut off swith will stop the feed roller if the chipper rotor RPM drops below the specified low speed setting. This feature keeps the tractor from stalling and elimi- nates undue stress on the drive system when the torque requirement is too high. The feed roller will restart automatically after the tractor recovers to the specified high speed setting.

Page 13: Knives
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE Knives The performance of the chipper will depend largely on the condition of the knives. If the knives are dull or damaged you will create a lot of unnecessary stress on the machine and consumes more power from the tractor. The knives are reversible and can easily be reversed or replaced by remov- ing the four bolts. -
