Intended uses of the chipper The C60RX Hansa chipper is built to process organic material including wooden branches not exceeding 254 mm in diameter. It is designed to be used on by commercial arborists, tree contractors and hire / rental companies. Do NOT use the chipper for any other purpose.
Expose the tracks to fuels or synthetic oils. If this does happen then they must immediately be cleaned Drive the chipper on steep routes. It is recommended that the C60RX should not be driven on slopes steeper than 15 degrees. The engine is not designed to operate at angles greater than 20 degrees for extended periods of time. Operators should take their time to become comfortable driving on steep terrain and learn what the machine is capable of.
If a replacement winch rope is required, the rope must be of equal or greater strength than what is specified (see the ‘Operation – Hydraulic Winch’ section of this manual). Contact Hansa for more information Chipping safety Checklist before operation Engine: ✓...
Emergency stop The C60RX has two emergency stops on the top of the inlet chute. The emergency stop acts as an immediate kill switch to the engine. It does not immediately stop the rotor from spinning. The rotor will continue to spin for some time due to its rotational inertia.
Rubber track drive The C60RX rubber track drive is operated by a fully proportional control remote. The remote has two joysticks, one on the left and one on the right that control the left and right tracks respectively. With the engine throttle set to half-way, familiarise yourself with the sensitivity of the tracks by moving the joysticks slowly to begin with.
(green) Status LED (blue) Drive the C60RX to the desired position using the left and right track controls on the remote. For safety reasons, the feed roller is disabled while the tracks are active. To reactivate the feed roller, the remote must be disconnected from the machine.
Blunt knives result in damage to the chipper How to re-sharpen the knives: If you don’t have a surface grinder or are unsure how to re-sharpen the knives, contact a professional saw doctor or Hansa to arrange re-sharpening. WARNING! Be careful when working around the sharp knives.

WARNING! Every time the knife clamping bolts are torqued up to 190 Nm and loosened off again, the life of the bolts is reduced. The knife clamping bolts must be replaced at most after every six sharpens. Contact Hansa for replacement bolts (m16x50 countersunk bolts of grade 12.9 or higher).
Worn cover on back of belt Sidewall belt wear To remove the belts, open the bonnet and fully disengage the belts. The C60RX requires three SPB1410 belts. Hydraulic pump belt adjustment The hydraulic pump is driven by a synchronous belt. The belt does not require any tension, however the belt should not have any slack either.
Fill the hydraulic oil tank up to the black indicator mark next to the hydraulic oil level indicator. The level should be checked with the engine off. For any repair in the hydraulic system, contact Hansa Products or seek advice from a competent service agent. Engine servicing For servicing of the engine, please refer to the engine manual.
