INTRODUCTION
This manual explains the proper operation of your machine. Read these instructions
thoroughly before operating and maintaining the machine. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage. Consult your GreenMech supplier if you do not
understand the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION! This symbol indicates important safety messages in this
manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury to
yourself or others, and carefully read the message that follows.
We recommend that you keep this manual with the machine in the box provided. Note
here the serial number and quote it in any communications. This is important when
ordering spares. Remember to include all numbers and letters.
VIN Number:…….…………………………
Serial Number:….…………………………
Write in the number!
This manual covers the following model.
EcoTMP tractor mounted chipper
Note: Normal build infeed chute position is Left Hand side (nearside) of tractor. This can
be changed to Right Hand side by factory fitted reversal of the gearbox.
The information in this manual is correct at the time of publication. However, in the
course of development, changes to the machine specification are inevitable. Should you
find any information to vary from the machine in your possession please contact your
GreenMech dealer for up to date information.
The manual may contain standard and optional features and is not to be used as a
machine specification.
PURPOSE
CAUTION! This machine is designed solely to chip wood and must not be
used for any other purpose. The machine should only be used by trained
operators who are familiar with the content of this instruction manual. It is
potentially hazardous to fit or use any parts other than genuine GreenMech
parts. The company disclaims all liability for the consequences of such use,
which in addition voids the machine warranty.

Noise
Noise levels vary depending on type of material being processed. Also duration of
operation is variable. Noise emission tests have been carried out and the guaranteed
sound power level is displayed on the CE plate as follows: Lwa 120dba
Minimise noise by switching to idle or stopping the tractor engine whenever chipping is not
in progress.
To reduce tractor noise level, optional 1000rpm PTO speed may be selected provided
tractor engine speed is reduced by approximately 50% accordingly.
CAUTION! Do not operate above 540rpm.
Full details are included in the Risk Assessment in the Appendix.
CAUTION! Operators must wear appropriate ear protection. Bystanders must be
kept away from proximity of machine.
Lifting Points
There are three lifting points by the chipper disc cover.
Tractor requirement
25 – 40HP at 6 spline 540rpm PTO shaft with provision for 22 litres/min (4.8 gall/min) at
172 bar (2500 lbf/in2) continuous flow remote oil supply and trailer light socket for No

5.2 Starting Machine:
5.2.1 Check all other personnel are clear
of machine.
5.2.2 Check that feed roller control bar is
pushed to the FEED OUT or STOP
position, to make the machine safe.
5.2.3 Start the tractor.
5.2.4 Engage PTO to start the chipper.
Check lights are ON.
5.2.5 Increase the speed to operating
speed (PTO 540 rpm), when No Stress light
goes Green.
Note: When used with larger tractors
having 1000 rpm PTO option, this may be
selected to enable use of slower engine
speed to reduce noise level and fuel
consumption. Always ensure that the No
Stress light remains Green.
5.2.6 Pull the reset lever to release the
control bar for work.
5.3 Stopping Machine
5.3.1 Push the control bar to STOP
position.
5.3.2 Disengage tractor PTO.
5.3.3 Stop tractor engine.
5.3.4 Wait for chipper disc to stop.
CAUTION! The chipper disc will take
several seconds to stop due to its inertia.
5.4 Adjustable Speed Feed Roller
Control
When chipping wood sizes larger than
120mm diameter it may be necessary to
reduce the feed roller speed to suit the
material being chipped.
5.4.1 Turn the valve control knob (fig 5.4)
clockwise until valve is closed.
5.4.2 Turn the knob anticlockwise to the
recommended setting in the table.

5.5 Operating Hints
5.5.1 Check that chipper disc is at full
speed with NO Stress light Green.
NOTE: The “No Stress” system will only
allow FEED IN (Forwards) and FEED OUT
operation of the feed rollers when the
machine is running at FULL operating
speed.
5.5.2 Reduce the chipper speed to IDLE
whilst further material is collected for
chipping.
5.5.3 Take care when feeding wood into
the machine to allow for awkward shapes to
“KICK” when contacting the feed rollers.
5.5.4 Position the end of larger sections of
wood inside the infeed chute and then
support the other end whilst pushing the
wood into the feed rollers.
CAUTION! Do not release discharge
chute clamps when chipping is in progress.
Elevation of the discharge is altered by
means of the adjustable flap (fig. 4.4).
CAUTION! Keep working area around
the machine clear at all times and check
only authorised personnel are present.
5.6 Blockage Removal
5.6.1 Stop tractor engine and disengage
p.t.o. shaft. See Section 5.2.
5.6.2 Open chipper chamber See Section
5.1 (Fig 5.1.2).
CAUTION! Chipped material is
inflammable. Expect large volume and
prevent from falling into engine
compartment. All material must be
removed.
5.6.3 Rotate discharge chute to accessible
position for cleaning.
5.6.4 Clean out discharge chute thoroughly
with a suitable rod to pass around bends as
necessary.

5.6.5 Check if chipper disc is free to rotate.
Pull top of disc in operating direction of
rotation. If so proceed to 5.6.11 below.
CAUTION! Beware sharp edges of
blades and unexpected movement of disc
due to resistance of engine.
If disc does NOT rotate freely, proceed as
follows:
5.6.6 Remove feed roller cover (Fig 5.6) to
access chipper blades and shear bar.
5.6.7 Carefully remove excess loose material
from around chipper disc and note any
obstructions.
5.6.8 Carefully rotate chipper disc in reverse
direction (top away from operator) by full
revolution to release blocked material. Use bar
against paddle blades for aid.
5.6.9 Carefully remove all material, checking
for obstructions. Check rotation of chipper disc.
5.6.10 Check condition of blades.
Note: Always attempt to find reason for
blockage. e.g. blunt blades, slack drive belts.
5.6.11 Re-assemble all covers with correct
fasteners and check for security.
5.6.12 Start machine (See 5.2) and check
operation.
Note: If machine will not run repeat process or
contact dealer for technical advice.
CAUTION! Beware sharp edges of
blades and unexpected movement.
5.7 Preparing For Transport On
Completion Of Work (fig 5.7)
5.7.1 Check that engine has stopped and
chipper disc is stationary.
5.7.2 Remove surplus material from infeed
chute and machine surfaces.
5.7.3 Lift up infeed chute to transport
position, secure with lock and fit locking pin.
5.7.4 Set discharge flap into lowest
position and tighten clamp.
5.7.5 Release clamps, turn discharge
chute to rearward position away from cab,
tighten clamps.
5.7.6 Raise machine on tractor linkage.
5.7.7 Raise support legs and secure if
transporting on rough terrain.
