Operating Instructions

Feed Roller Speed Control
The Variable speed control valve is located on the right hand side of the wood chipper feed chute. The speed
of the feed roller is controlled by rotating the arm as shown in the images below. In the "0" position the roller
will not rotate. The higher the number, the faster the feed roller will rotate with "10" being "full speed".
Position "0" Position "10"
Feed Roller Direction Settings
The feed roller has three different rotation settings: Forward, Neutral and Reverse. The direction of the feed
roller is changed by pushing or pulling the Control Arm. In the Forward position, the feed roller pulls branches
into the wood chipper; neutral stops the feed roller rotation; and reverse pushes the branches towards the
operator and out away from the chipper.
Changing Roller Feed Speed
Change the feed roller speed by placing the Control Arm in the Neutral Position. The feed roller will stop
rotating. Adjust the Variable Speed Control Valve to the desired position/speed. Reengage the Feed Roller by
moving the Control Arm.
