Sometimes a piece of wood that is a particularly awkward shape is too strong for the feed rollers to
break. This will cause the top roller to either bounce up and down on the wood, or both rollers to
stall. Pull the material out of the feed funnel and trim it so the chipper can handle it.
Both feed rollers should always turn at the same speed. If one or both rollers stop or suddenly slow
down it may be that a piece of wood has become stuck behind one of the rollers. If this occurs, adjust
hydraulic directional control valve to 'reverse feed' position, the rollers will turn reverse and roll out
the stuck wood, then you can adjust the hydraulic directional control valve to "forward feed"
position, the chipper will work again. If this operation doesn't work, pls push the EMERGENCY STOP
BUTTON, turn the engine off, remove the ignition key and investigate.
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 material into a blocked machine may cause damage and will make it difficult to clear.
If the chipper becomes blocked, proceed as follows:
Stop the engine and remove the ignition keys.
•
•
Remove the discharge tube. Check that it is clear.
Wearing gloves, reach into the rotor housing and scoop out the majority of the debris
•
causing the blockage.
WARNING
Do not reach into the rotor housing with unprotected hands.
There are sharp blades and any small movement of the rotor may cause serious
injury.
•
Replace the discharge tube.
Restart the engine and increase to full speed.
•
•
Allow machine time to clear excess chips still remaining in rotor housing before you continue
feeding brushwood. Feed in a small piece of wood while watching to make sure that it comes
out of the discharge. If this does not clear it, repeat the process and carefully inspect the
discharge tube to find any obstruction.
NOTE: 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.
Discharge control
Controlling the discharge is an essential part of safe working.
