OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SAFE TRANSPORTATION WHEN towing a chipper the maximum speed limit is 60 mph. rough or bumpy road surfaces reduce speed accordingly to protect your machine from unnecessary vibration. WHEN towing off road be aware of objects that may catch the chipper undergear. WHEN towing off road ensure inclination is not excessive.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DELIVERY All Timberwolf 150DH/DHB machines have a full pre - delivery inspection before leaving the factory and are ready to use. Read and understand this instruction manual before attempting to operate the chipper. In particular, read pages 5-7 which contain important health and safety information and advice.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AUTO CONTROLS The no stress unit controls the feed rate of the material going into the chipping chamber. If the engine speed is below the predetermined level, the no stress unit will not allow the feed rollers to work in either forward or reverse, until the rotor speed rises above the predetermined level.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE CHIPPER IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING TESTS to check safety equipment - this sequence of tests will only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are carried out daily. Observing the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are working correctly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING TO CHIP WARNING Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective guarding and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or loss of life CHECK that chipper is running smoothly. RELEASE the catch on the feed tray and lower.
