OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING OF THE CHIPPER AND
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTIONS
1. For mounting or dismounting the chipper,
always turn off the tractor and apply the
parking brake before entering the area bet-
ween chipper and tractor.
2. Before connecting the hydraulic hoses,
make sure the hydraulic ports of the trac-
tor are depressurized. Moreover, ensure
the correct connection of the hydraulic
supply and return lines on the tractor.
3. Before switching on the electric power
supply, check the plug, the socket and the
visible cables for damage.
4. Check the PTO drive shaft for damage and
make sure it has the appropriate length.
5. Make sure the connection shields of the PTO
drive shaft are seating correctly and the
holding chain of the connection shields is
fastened.
6. Make sure all protective and safety devices
of the chipper are installed. Never remove
any protective device during operation.
7. Before operation, please make sure there
are no foreign objects in the feed unit.
8. Before operation, please make sure there
are no foreign objects in the chipper. Rota-
te the shaft to make sure that the cutting
disk can rotate freely.
9. Make sure that the water drainage holes on
the lower chamber are open and that the
disk is not frozen up.
10. During operation, the chipper must stand
on level and hard ground.
11. As compared to the tractor, the chipper
must not be lowered excessively. Otherwi-
se, the PTO drive shaft connection may loo-
sen during operation.
12. Direct the discharge pipe so that the thrown
out chips do not pose a risk to the operator
of the chipper or to or anyone else. Always
keep a safe distance to the discharge posi-
tion of the chips.
