TIM ERWOLF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TW 150VTR/FTR BLOCKAGES Always be aware that what you are putting into the chipper must come out. If the chips stop coming out of the discharge tube but the chipper is taking material in - STOP IMMEDIATELY. Continuing to feed the chipper with brushwood once it has become blocked will cause the chipper to compact the chips in the rotor housing and it will be difficult and time consuming to clear.
