26. Send machine to work. It is ready!
REMEMBER! REMOVE KEY FROM ENGINE, DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLES
AND LOCKOUT UNIT WHENEVER PERFORMING SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE.
D. TESTING HYDRAULIC FEED ROLL PRESSURE (See drawing on following page)
The following are instructions for checking and setting the pressure on the hydraulic feed roll. This should only be
necessary if hydraulic components are changed or if the feed roll looks sluggish or seems to stop momentarily during
normal feed function. This check should be made yearly to assure the maximum performance from your Salsco chipper.
Please call with any questions on this or any other problems.
1. With the motor off, loosen the acorn nut at the pressure relief. Remove the cap and washer and set aside until
later. Loosen the jamb nut and back the screw out counter clockwise 3-4 turns, at least.
2. If you have caps for the hoses, remove them at the drive motor and cap. NOTE: Be sure to mark the hoses for
reassembly.
If you do not have the proper caps for the hydraulic lines, you can deadhead the system by wedging a piece of
wood in the feed chute as shown. This will create system pressure.
Be sure the feed handle is in neutral and starts engine. Engage chipper section at low R.P.M. (1200 – 1300 R.P.M.)
3.
4. Walk to rear of machine and move the feed handle to the feed position. Gauge should move and show a pressure
increase.
If there is no pressure on gauge, turn relief screw in 1 – 2 turns. If no pressure on gauge, back screw off to start
5.
position. Stop machine. Shut down engine and put gauge in other line of valve.
6. Repeat start up procedure. Now pressure should show in gauge. Once pressure shows in gauge, raise engine R.P.M.
to 2500 R.P.M. Turn screw clockwise until 1500 P.S.I. is reached on gauge. Put the control valve in neutral and
tighten jamb nut. After jamb nut, acorn nut and washer have been replaced and tightened, check pressure again. Do
not run over 1500 P.S.I.
7. Remove gauges, caps, wood, etc. and reassemble the machine the way it was when you started. Run and check all
hoses for possible leaks.
8. Check the hydraulic tank. Replenish if necessary.
