1. INTRODUCTON CONGRATULATIONS! You have just purchased the best, safest, and most compact chipper available. If you have too much material to run through the small shredders, nut not enough for the larger chippers, the chipper is the right machine for the job. Safety features include a feed roll that makes it very difficult to get fingers or hands into the blades of the chipper, and a low chute profile that makes feeding easy because you don’t have to lift the limes so high to feed them into the feed roll.
the machinery, to the dealers and ultimately the actual user, must keep lines of agricultural implements. Also refer to our catalogs, general safety literature. And the standards published by the American society of Agricultural Engineers. 4. DERIVE-LINE SPECIFICATIONS The first step towards a safe application is to specify and test the drive-line to operate properly under expected field conditions.
6. GUARDING For hazards which cannot be eliminated effectively, guarding must be provided whenever feasible. The PTO master shield, integral drive-line shield, and implement input connection shield should provide an interactive guarding system. 1. provide instructions by labels or manuals. The implement should be used only with the tractor’ s PTO master shield in place.
Do not attempt to operate the chipper until you have read and understood the owner’s manual. If you need another manual, contact the factory or the dealer where you purchased the unit. We will furnish an extra manual at no charge. Always keep the guards and chip defector installed properly while operation the chipper.
MACHINE OPERATION The chipper is a flywheel and knife type of as they are fed into the head. The blades must be sharp to operate properly. Dirt, rocks, nails, or other foreign material will shorten blade life. Before operating the chipper review the machine checklist. After turning the chipper by hand and making sure there no obstructions in the head, start the tractor and raise the chipper until the PTO shaft is within 15 degrees of straight.
Replace the inspection plate and reattach the springs. Turn over by hand before applying power. The cutter bar should be adjust to .010 to .030 from the blades by loosening the bolts in the bottom of the chute in the slotted holes and moving the bar on the slots. Bolts are to be torqued to 35 foot-pounds.
The feed roll drive belt can be adjusted by first loosening the four bolts that hold the worm gear gox to the base, then moving the gear box away from the chute and re-torques the bolts to 40 foot pounds. All decals and safety instructions should be kept clean and legible.
DRIVE-LINE FITTING ADJUSTMENTS PTO drive-line data on model 4 and 6 tool barn PTO driven chippers and chipper mulchers with speed –up kit options. This data is for drive-line fitting adjustment, which is required prior to initial startup and installation of chippers.

That 2-1/4” of contact area on the tractor PTO spline and 1-3/8” of contact area on the shipper spline shaft are utilized. The two shaft ends are horizontal with one another. The following steps should be taken to insure the proper fitting of the PTO drive-line provided with your chipper to your tractor PTO drive.
