FEED ROLLER CLOGGING PREVENTION

To prevent clogging during chipping operations:
1. Begin chipping operations only when the engine
is running at full throttle.
2. The rotor clutch lever must be all the way in
the ON position and not half way.
3. Check the belt tension on the rotor and ensure
the power is transmitted to the rotor
sufficiently.
4. When leaves and wood etc are wet they are
not chipped efficiently and are more likely to
clog the machine.
START CHIPPING WORK OPERATIONS
After reading and understanding all the
instructions in this "How to Operate Machine"
section you may commence chipping operations.
Note
Maximum diameter of infeed materials allowed is
7 cm for soft wood.
