Sensitivity Levels - BC1000XL Only
The Lower Feed Stop Bar has two levels of sensitivity. When the NORMAL setting (top of
the Sensitivity Switch) is selected (3), the stop bar is depressed a shorter distance before
the feed roller stops. When the REDUCED setting (bottom of the Sensitivity Switch) is
3
selected (4), the stop bar is depressed farther before feed roller stops.
The amber warning light (5) on the rear of the machine turns on when the REDUCED
setting of the Sensitivity Switch is selected.
Each time the engine key is turned OFF, the lower feed stop bar system defaults to the
4
NORMAL setting.
IMPORTANT: The NORMAL sensitivity setting provides the most protection for the
operator since a leg is more likely to strike the bar and shut off feed in an emergency. Use
NORMAL sensitivity setting whenever job site conditions permit. If the size and shape of
limbs cause branches to strike the bar, resulting in an unacceptable frequency of feed
stops, the REDUCED sensitivity setting may be temporarily selected. When these
difficult conditions have passed, select the NORMAL setting to continue chipping.
