ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Consider the following when assembling the chipper: Due to the weight of the chipper, it is recommended that two people work together to assemble it. The machine must only be lifted using the designated lifting points. Only use suitable lifting equipment with sufficient lifting capacity to lift the machine. WARNING! RISK OF CRUSHING! Do not allow anyone to stand under suspended loads! The equipment comes in a transport frame to protect it.

WARNING! The cutting disc continues to rotate after the chipper is turned off so wait until the disc has come to a complete standstill before carrying out any work on the machine. AFTER USE Reduce the tractor’s speed to idling; make sure the drive shaft has stopped rotating BEFORE disconnecting the PTO.
RUNNING IN THE MACHINE Although there are no restrictions regarding operating the chipper for the first time, we rec- ommend that you carry out the following checks: A. After one (1) hour of operation 1. Check that the machine is in the Safety position, see previous section. 2.
CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR This section describes how to connect the tractor’s 3-point linkage and the PTO shaft. It is a Category 1 3-point linkage. To achieve the longest service life and for safety reasons, the PTO shaft should be as straight as possible when the equipment is in working mode (down). Do as follows when connecting the equipment to a tractor: 1.
15. Slowly lift the machine and make sure that the length of the PTO shaft is long enough and that it is not angled too much. 16. Make sure the front and back of the machine are level with the ground, edge to edge; use the 3-point linkage to make any adjustments.
Page 20
DIRECTIONS FOR SHORTENING THE PTO SHAFT 1. Remove the protective device. 2. Cut off the transmission shaft to the desired length. NB The shaft may not be cut more than half the tube length. 3. File the edges of the tube 4.

CONTROL BAR FOR INFEED ROLLERS The control bar regulates the movement of the infeed rollers; forward, back and stop. 1. Mode – Infeed 2. Mode – Stop 3. Mode – Output 1. Mode – Infeed Push the reset bar towards you and then pull Control bar the control bar towards you to start the infeed rollers.
Page 22
FLOW CONTROL FOR THE INFEED ROLLERS Use the flow control valve. The flow control can also be used to adjust the feed speed. Check the size and quality of the material to determine the correct size and the correct feed speed. Increase the speed for bushes and twigs, reduce the speed for harder timber or when there is large load in the machine.
SAFETY CHECK BEFORE MACHINE MAINTENANCE • Disconnect the PTO shaft. • Turn off the tractor engine. • Make sure all parts in the machine have come to a standstill. • Remove the ignition key from the tractor and put it in your pocket. •...

MAINTAINING FEED ROLLERS At times, the feed rollers require servicing, for instance to remove debris, when cleaning, or to perform inspections or repairs. To safely raise and gain access to the feed rollers, there is a turnbuckle on top of the chipper. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE Make sure the machine is turned off and disconnected before performing any intervention. TROUBLESHOOTING CAUSE MEASURE Poor chip quality, wood - Blunt blades. - Check blades. unevenly chipped - Cutting distance between blades is - Adjust and grind if required. uneven or too wide.

SETTING CHIPPING WOOD SIZE IN 13-WC17H2 Bear in mind: When the machine is shipped, the chipping disk is not adjusted for chipping but is set instead to avoid damage to the disc during transport. An “adjustment spacer” is sup- plied to adjust the chipping disc in the easiest and safest way.
Page 27
EXTRA SPACER FOR CHIPPING WOOD SIZE 13-WC17H2 To make it possible to further adjust the chipping wood size, four extra spacers are included. We recommend that these are installed before the chipper is used. NOTE All four blades must be mounted at the same time.
