SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFE MAINTENANCE

• Handle blades with extreme caution to avoid injury. Gloves
should always be worn when handling the cutter blades.
• The drive belts should be connected while changing blades, as
this will restrict sudden movement of the rotor.
• The major components of this machine are heavy. Lifting
equipment must be used for disassembly.
• Clean machines are safer and easier to service.
• Avoid contact with hazardous materials.
SAFE LIFTING & SECURING DOWN OF THE
CHIPPER
The lifting eye is designed to lift the machine's weight only. Do not use hoist hook directly
on the lifting eye, use a correctly rated safety shackle. Inspect the lifting eye prior to each
use - DO NOT USE LIFTING EYE IF DAMAGED. Maximum lift weight is 2500kg, as indicated
on the machine.
The method of securing the chipper can vary depending on the type of carrier and position
of tie down points available on the carrier. Timberwolf recommend where possible to
secure machine to carrier using correctly rated ratchet straps as shown.
Securing a Timberwolf chipper ready for transport must be carried out by competent
qualified personnel. Failure to observe this procedure could result in chassis and/or
undercarriage damage.

SPARES

Only fit genuine Timberwolf replacement blades, screws and
chipper spares. Failure to do so will result in the invalidation of
the warranty and may result in damage to the chipper, personal
injury or even loss of life.

CHECK FITTINGS

The Timberwolf TW 280TVGTR is subject to large vibrations during the normal course of operation. Consequently there is
always a possibility that nuts and bolts will work themselves loose. It is important that periodic checks are made to ensure
the security of all fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened using a torque wrench to the required torque (see below).
Uncalibrated torque wrenches can be inaccurate by as much as 25%. It is therefore essential that a calibrated torque
wrench is used to achieve the tightening torques listed below.
