Page 6: Operation
Operation Clearing operations should be carried out only by a competent equipment operator familiar with the safe operation of the EX30RPM when installed to the applicable carrier. The operator must understand the contents of this manual. Before starting the supply of hydraulic oil to the mulcher the operator must verify that equipment personnel, property and roadways are greater than 150 meters from where the mulching equipment is being operated. - Page 7 Owner’s Manual Larger trees, 40-150 mm or larger in diameter, often require that the top be cut off and mulched separately on the ground. In addition, with respect to larger growth it is faster and more efficient to chip/mulch as much of the tree as possible while it is standing (still on the stump).

Page 18: Mounting
Owner’s Manual Mounting The EX30RPM is shipped standard with a deck plate featuring a six bolt pattern for the purpose of anchoring a cap plate suited to the coupling system utilized by the carrier to which the unit is to be installed. The dimensions of the deck plate and the bolting pattern are supplied in the following diagram of the EX30RPM as viewed from the top of the unit. -
Page 19: Hydraulic Connections
Owner’s Manual Hydraulic Connections The hydraulic conductor connecting points are accessible by removing the cover from the drive end compartment of the unit. Referring to the following figure the connection points are supply pressure, main return and case drain. Pressure Oil Main pressure oil should be supplied to the unit at a value as close to 5000 psi (345 bar) as possible for optimum performance. - Page 20 Hose Routing The EX30RPM is designed such that hydraulic hoses are routed from the connecting points on the cutting frame just below the edge of the deck plate and just behind the lifting lug as in the illustration on the previous page. Hoses can then be routed in a manner that suits the mounting/connection type and in such a way that pinch points are avoided.
- Page 21 Owner’s Manual Handling and Storage The EX30RPM comes standard with a steel lifting lug for ease of handling. When not in use the unit should be stored so that it is not exposed to a standing level of water, snow etc. Covers should be removed and unit drained of any accumulated water.
