PROCEDURE FOR UNPLUGGING YOUR CHIPPER If your chipper is plugging, it is usually caused by allowing the engine to drop below required R.P.M.’s. This can be resolved by simply shutting the feedwheel(s) off when the engine begins to lug down. Operating the engine at speeds lower than full R.P.M.’s causes your chipper to plug.
Page 12
Training is essential! It is extremely important for everyone who operates a wood chipper to be trained. Operating instructions for the chipper are included in Bandit manuals, decals, and training videos with each chipper sold. We also highly recommend that you use the NAA chipper safety video.
