USING
THE
CHIPPER
CHUTE
•
Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in
diameter may be fed into the chipper chute as shown
in figure 37.
•
Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when
feeding material into the chipper chute.
•
Use the tamper plug, not your hands, to force material
down through the chipper chute.
•
For best performance, it is important to keep the
chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the
material being discharged changes (becomes stringy,
etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider-
ably, it is likely that the chipper blades are dull and
need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the
Service and Adjustments section, on page 23.
&
WARNING:
Do not attempt to feed any
material larger than 3" in diameter into
the chipper chute. Personal injury or
damage to the machine could result.
&
DANGER:
Keep hands out of chipper
chute. Rotating blades in impeller
housing can cause serious injury. Use
the tamper plug to help push material
down into the chute.
