OPERATION NOTES
• At engine start-up, the engine of your chipper operates under no load at 3600 RPM until
approximately 1200 -1400 RPM's at which speed the centrifugal clutch engages and begins
driving the drum.
• Drum speed is 2400 RPM +/- 200 RPM when engine is at full RPM.
• When viewed from the operator zone, the drum turns in a clockwise direction. This rotation
pulls branches into the chipper.
• Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses during operation of the chipper.
• If it becomes necessary to push material into the chipper hopper, only use a wood stick,
never your hands or anything steel.
• Always keep your hands out of the chipper hopper.
• Keep area of discharge clear of people, animals, buildings, glass or anything else that will
obstruct clear discharge, cause injury or damage. Wind can also change discharge direction,
so be aware.
