the disengaged (uP) position. With the engine at 1/4 throttle,
carefully engage the disk by slowly pushing the engagement
handle down, allowing the disk to speed up gradually. Engag-
ing the chipper too quickly with the engine at full or half throttle
will bog down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt. To
disengage the disk, first idle the engine down and then pull the
engagement handle up.
3.3 TuRNTAbLE bRAkE
Locks the turntable to the frame for any chipping position
(0°-360°). The chipper base must always be locked in place.

charge lock lever and slightly rotate the discharge tube until the
lock pin snaps into place in one of the holes on the base of the
discharge tube.
3.5 DIschARgE cAp

that folds down. Around the edge of the tray is an orange control
arm that will contact a safety switch (inside the switch box) when
depressed. The safety switch will stop the hydraulic flow to the
feed roller. The chipper will not feed material until the reset but-
ton on the top of the feed chute is pressed. The switch box has
a red light that will indicate the switch has been triggered and
will not go out until the reset button has been reset. The feed
roller will resume rotation once the machine has been reset.
