Page 27: Machine Components
MACHINE COMPONENTS The Wallenstein 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper is a rotor with blades for chip- ping wood. A hinged feed hopper moves the wood material into the rotor. Each rotor is designed with 4 blades and a twig-break- er to generate the small pieces of wood. A station- ary knife at the rear of the rotor housing is placed by the moving knives to shear, chip or chop the material. The tractor provides rotational power through a PTO shaft on the front of the frame and hydraulic power for the hydraulic feed hopper.

Page 29: Driveline Dimension
DRIVELINE DIMENSION A PTO drive line is supplied with the machine. To ac- company the variety of 3 point hitch geometry available today, the drive line can be too long for most machines or too short for others. It is very important that the drive line be free to telescope but not to bottom out when go- ing through its working range. If the drive line bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time. 1. To determine the proper length of the drive line, follow this procedure: a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. Fig. 22 DRIVELINE DIMENSIONS b. Attach the chipper to the tractor (see section 4.8) but do not attach the drive line. c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level with the tractor PTO shaft. d. Measure the dimension between the locking grooves on the tractor PTO shaft and the machine input shaft. e. Measure the same dimensions on the compressed drive line. -
Page 30: Mounting And Unhooking Tractor
MOUNTING AND UNHOOKING TRACTOR When attaching chipper to a tractor, follow this procedure:. 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2. Make sure there is enough room and clear- ance to safely back up to the chipper. 3. Place the tractor arms in their full sway position. 4. Back up slowly and align the lower link arms Fig. 25 TRACTOR LOWER LINKS to the pins on the machine. 5. Mounting without a Quick Hitch a. Align the left lower link with the left chip- per pin. IMPORTANT It may be necessary to add weight to the lower lift arms to bring them to the required height. b. Insert the left pin through the ball and Aligned install the retainer. c. Align the right arm to the pin by turning the jackscrew on the arm. d. Insert the right pin through the ball and install the retainer. Return the jack- screw to its starting position. -

Use a clean rag or paper towel to clean the dirt from couplers on the hose ends and the tractor. b. Connect the hoses to the tractor cou- plers. Be sure the couplers are secure- ly seated. c. Route and secure the hoses along the hitch with clips, tape or plastic ties to prevent binding and pinching. Be sure to provide slack for turning. NOTE Fig. 29 HYDRAULICS Always connect to the hydraulic circuit with a detent. 9. Slowly raise the machine through its work- ing range to make sure the telescoping portion of the PTO shaft doesn't bottom out. 10. Level the machine front and rear, and side to side using the jackscrew on the right arm and the turnbuckle on the top link. The chipper should always be level on the ground in its working position. 11. To unhook from the tractor, reverse the above procedure. Always park the ma- chine in a dry, level area. If vandalism is Fig. 30 LEVELLING ADJUSTMENTS a problem, remove the PTO drive line and store in a secure place.

Page 33: Controls
CONTROLS All controls are conveniently positioned next to where the operator would stand when feeding the machine to provide easy operation. Review this section to familiarize yourself with the loca- tion and function of each control before starting. Hydraulic Feed Control Lever: Hydraulic units only: This lever is positioned to extend around the feed hopper and provides access from Feeding all sides. The lever is attached to the directional flow valve and controls feeding, neutral and reverse functions. To operate: pull the control all the way out to engage the feeding system. Push in slightly to the first detent to stop the feed- ing system. Push the control all the way in to reverse the feeding system. IMPORTANT Check the function of the control lever when attaching the hydraulic lines to the tractor. The hopper Neutral/Stop must feed in when the lever is moved out. If it does not, reverse the hoses. The control lever must function like the drawing on each side of the hopper or the hoses must be reversed. -
Page 34: Flow Control Valve
Flow Control Valve: Hydraulic units only: The hydraulic feed circuit is equipped with a manually-set flow control so the operator can adjust the feeding speed appropriate for the operating conditions. A scale on the face of the valve is num- bered from 0 to 10 (0 to 100%). To adjust the feed: 1. Loosen the lock and 2. Move the pointer arm to the desired posi- tion. Fig. 32 FLOW CONTROL VALVE 3. Tighten the lock bolt. Note: Adjust in small increments as a small change can result in a large change to feeding speed.

16. Unplugging: Although the machine is designed to handle a wide variety of material without any problem, it may occasionally plug up. When the machine plugs, follow this procedure to unplug: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2. Reverse the hydraulic feed hopper to work loose any plugged material. 3. Next stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop before unplug- ging. 4. Pull the material out of the feed hopper. Be sure all the material is out and nothing is jammed or wedged between the input Feed Hopper opening and the rotor. 5. Pull the material out of the discharge hood. Use a stick to poke loose any ma- terial jammed into the discharge hood. Do not allow anything to remain in this area. 17. Severe plug: 1. Ensure the engine is off and you have pocked the key to prevent unintentional startup. 2. Loosen the feed hopper anchor nuts and raise the feed hopper.

Page 47: Driveline Maintenance
DRIVELINE MAINTENANCE The PTO drive line is designed to telescope to al- low for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its operational range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the driving components. The drive line should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disas- sembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all components function as intended. To maintain the drive line, follow this procedure: 1. Remove the drive line from the machine. 2. Pull drive line apart. Guard Removal 3. Use a screwdriver to turn lock studs on each end. There are 2 studs per guard. 4. Pull the shaft out of the plastic tubular guard. 5. Use a solvent to clean the male and female portions of the telescoping ends. 6. Apply a light coat of grease to each end. 7. Use a solvent to wash the grooves on each end where the studs are located. Clean each end also. Disassembled 8. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove. Fig. 45 DRIVELINE COMPONENTS 9. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and align the studs with the holes. -
Page 48: Drive Belt Tension And Alignment (Model Bx32)
DRIVE BELT TENSION AND ALIGNMENT (MODEL BX32) A set of V belts transmits rotational power to the rotor. They must be kept properly tensioned and the pulleys aligned to obtain the expected perfor- mance and life. To check the tension and alignment, follow this procedure: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2. Turn machine off, stop engine, remove igni- tion key and place in pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop. 3. Remove guard over belt. 4. Push on the belt in the center of the span. The belt should deflect approximately 1 inch (25 mm) when pushed on with about 10 lbs. force to be properly tensioned. Adjusting Bolt IMPORTANT The belt should not slip when the chipper is being used. 5. To adjust belt tension: Use the adjusting bolt on the spring-loaded tensioning pulley to set the belt tension. The bolt should not slip when the machine is be- ing used with a normal load. -
