The Owner/Operator's manual uses this symbol to alert you of
potential hazards. Whenever you see this symbol, read and
obey the safety message that follows it. Failure to obey the
safety message could result in personal injury, death or property
damage.
WARNINg To ALL cALIfoRNIA AND oThER sTATEs opERATINg ouTDooR poWER EQuIpMENT
Under California Law and under the laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operate
an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered
or grass covered land or on land covered with grain, hay or other ammable agricultural crops,
without an engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal com-
bustion engine that burns gasoline (a hydrocarbon fuel). Therefore, your power equipment must
be equipped with a spark arrester mufer in continuous effective working order. The spark ar-
rester must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that ames or heat from
the system will not ignite ammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law and may also be
a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your local re marshal or forest service for
specic information about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard mufer installed on the engine is not equipped with a spark arrester. One must be added before using this
machine in an area where a spark arrester is required by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to you. See your
authorized engine dealer for spark arrester options.

FEATURES & CONTROLS
This controls the speed of the engine. Increase the throttle by
moving the switch to the FAST position. To decrease the throt-
tle, move the switch to the SLOW position.
To engage the feed roller move the control bar. The cycle of
the control bar, front to back, is REVERSE (R), FORWARD (F),
STOP, REVERSE (R).
Directs the discharge of chipped material horizontally. The dis-
charge tube can be rotated 360° horizontally by pressing down
on the lock lever and rotating the discharge tube until the dis-
charge deector faces the desired position. Release the dis-
charge lock lever and slightly rotate the discharge tube until the
lock pin snaps into place in one of the holes on the base of the
discharge tube.
Directs the discharge of material vertically. Adjust the discharge
cap by turning the knob located on the side. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to loosen discharge cap. Adjust to desired position.
Turn knob clockwise to secure discharge cap.
Used to lift the feed roller. The feed roller can be raised to
inspect and service the machine and to clear a plugged disk.
Secure the feed roller in the raised position using the provided
snap pin.
Used to adjust the height of the hitch. Always have in UP posi-
tion and clear from ground when moving. When in use, place in
DOWN position on a level surface.
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must be in
the disengaged (UP) position. With the engine at 1/4 throttle,
carefully engage the disk by slowly pushing the engagement
handle down, allowing the disk to speed up gradually. Engag-
ing the chipper too quickly with the engine at full or half throttle
will bog down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt. To
disengage the disk, rst idle the engine down and then pull the
engagement handle up.
Controls the speed of the feed roller. Allows the operator to
have better control over the material being fed into the chip-
per. Turning the knob clockwise will decrease the speed of the
feed roller. Turning the knob counterclockwise will increase the
speed of the feed roller.
Locks the turntable to the frame for any chipping position
(0°-360°). The chipper base must always be locked in place.
Failure to do so may result in machine vibration, serious bodily
injury or death.

Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute, through the

s & f MoDELs oNLY: The feed chute has an extension tray
that folds down.Around the edge of the tray is an orange control
arm that will contact a safety switch (inside the switch box) when
depressed. The safety switch will stop the hydraulic ow to the
feed roller. The chipper will not feed material until the reset but-
ton on the top of the feed chute is pressed. The switch box has
a red light that will indicate the switch has been triggered and
will not go out until the reset button has been reset. The feed
roller will resume rotation once the machine has been reset.
Safety chains are used, during towing, to prevent the chipper
from completely separating from the tow vehicle in the event the
chipper detaches from the tow vehicle. Cross the safety chains
under the hitch and connect to tow vehicle.

As with any other piece of outdoor power equipment, getting

performance.
chIppINg opERATIoN
The chipping operation takes place on the front of the machine,
where hardened steel chipper blades are mounted on a rotating
disk assembly. Material fed into the chipper chute is sliced into
small chips and propelled out through a discharge tube.
Before operating your machine, be sure you read and un-
derstand all safety, controls and operating instructions in this
Owner/Operator's manual and on your machine. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious injury or prop-
erty damage.

OPERATION
The discharge tube can rotate 360° and lock into different posi-

how high and how far the chipped material blows.
Adjust the discharge tube by pressing down on the lock lever

faces the desired position. Release the discharge lock lever and
slightly rotate the discharge tube until the lock pin snaps into
place in one of the holes on the base of the discharge tube (Fig-

The feed roller speed control is used to control the speed of the

For optimum chipping, it is recommended that the feed roller
operate at a faster rate for smaller branches and at a slower rate
for larger branches.

OPERATION
4.7 chIppER fEED coNTRoLLER
The chipper is equipped with a pre-programmed feed controller.
The controller is located on the chipper housing above the chip-
per chute. The controller serves a variety of functions includ-
ing monitoring chipper disk RPM, controlling the feed roller, and
providing routine maintenance alerts. The control bar located on
the feed chute will control the feed roller.
The controller functions are further detailed below:
The controller operates the feed roller. The controller moni-
tors the RPMs of the chipper disk and won't operate until
the engine is at full RPM. If the chipper disk drops below
the normal operating RPM, the feed roller stops. When the
chipper disk returns to the normal operating RPM, the feed
roller will reengage.
The controller also has a “try again” feature. The controller
monitorsthehydraulicpressureofthefeedroller. Ifitsenses
the level is too high (the feed roller becomes obstructed) the
controller will reverse the feed roller , removing the material
tryingtobe chipped. Thecontrollerwillthenengagetheroller
into the forward position and try to feed the material again. If
this cycle continues, remove the obstruction manually. Trim
or reposition material if necessary.
1.
2.
The feed controller is programmed to display the following
text messages:
15 Hour Service Code: "Change/Service blades".
100 Hour Service Code: "Change engine oil".
Normal Operating RPM: "Feed control system
available".
High Pressure: "Try again feature activiated".
Feed Roller Stop Switch: "Forward feed stopped".
- Domestic Models: Disk RPM too low.
- S & F Models: Disk RPM too Low or Safety
Bar Activated.
SAFETY BAR: S & F models only. If safety bar has been
activated the red LED will light up. Push the reset/override
button to resume forward feed (Figure 4.3).
To overcome false trips of the safety bar by material
being chipped, the reset/override button may be held in for
5 seconds. To repeat, release button and hold in again.
NOTE: The RPM sensor on the disk must ash or the controller
won’t work. Clearance between the sensor and the bolt must be
between 1/32” and 3/32”.
