Upper Feed Control Bar; Lower Feed Stop Bar And Side Feed Stop Bars - Vermeer BC1200XL Operator's Manual

Upper Feed Control Bar

The Upper Feed Control Bar (1) provides a means for the operator to quickly stop feed
rollers as well as selecting forward or reverse operation.

Lower Feed Stop Bar and Side Feed Stop Bars

The Lower Feed Stop Bar system (2) and Side Feed Stop Bars (3) (BC1200XL European
only) provides a means for the operator to quickly stop the feed rollers if snagged by a
branch and pulled toward the machine. This system is intended for your safety and must
be maintained in good operating condition. Do not operate the machine if the Lower Feed
Stop Bar or Side Feed Stop Bars are not functioning properly.
Stopping the feed rollers is accomplished by bumping the Lower Feed Stop Bar (2) or the
Side Feed Stop Bars (3). The Feed Stop Bars are strategically located to make it possible
for an operator to strike the bars and shut off the feed either intentionally or
automatically in an emergency situation. If the operator does not strike the bars, the
feed will not stop. It is therefore very important to follow all safety instructions for
feeding material into the chipper.
IMPORTANT: Proper operation of the Upper Feed Control Bar, Lower Feed Stop Bar and
Side Feed Stop Bars (BC1200XL European) should be checked every 10 hours of
operation or daily. Refer to the
BC1200XL Brush Chipper
for adjustment instructions.
