FOREWORD

LITERATURE INFORMATION

The operators manual should be stored in the

operator’s compartment in the literature holder

storage area. Rayco provides a binder to hold

the Operator Service Manual, Parts Manual,

Engine Manual along with other component

manuals.

These manuals contain safety information,

operation instruction, transportation informa-

tion, lubrication information and maintenance

information.

Some photographs or illustrations in the pub-

lication show details of attachments that can

be different from your machine. Guards and

covers might have been removed for illustrative

purposes. Continuing improvement may have

caused changes to your machine which may not

be included in this publication.

Continuing improvement and advancement of

product design might have caused changes

to your machine which are not included in this

publication. Read, study and keep this manual

with the machine.

Whenever a question arises regarding your

machine, of this publication, please consult your

Rayco dealer for the latest available information.

SAFETY

The safety section lists basic safety precautions.

In addition, this section may include text and

locations of warning signs and labels used on

the machine.

Read and understand the basic precautions

listed in the safety section before operating or

performing lubrication, maintenance and repair

on this machine.

PARTS (see Parts Manual)

Parts are readily found through illustrations

with accompanying Rayco part numbers. The

machine assembly is listed by basic groups to

enable ease of nding parts.

Please consult your local Rayco Dealer or local

Engine Manufacturer Dealer for obtaining engine

parts and service.

OPERATION

The operation section is a reference for the new

operator and a refresher for the experienced

operator. This section includes a discussion of

gauges, switches, machine controls, attachment

controls, transportation and towing information.

Photographs and illustrations guide the operator

through correct procedures of checking, starting,

operating and stopping the machine.

Operating techniques outlined in this publication

are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the

operator gains knowledge of the machine and its

capabilities.

MAINTENANCE

The maintenance section is a guide to equip-

ment care. The Maintenance Interval Schedule

lists the items to be maintained at a specic

service interval. The Maintenance Interval

Schedule lists the page number for the step-

by-step instructions required to accomplish the

scheduled maintenance procedure.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Use the service hour meter to determine servic-

ing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily,

weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of

service hour meter intervals if they provide more

convenient servicing schedules and approximate

the indicated service hour meter reading. Rec-

ommended service should always be performed

at the interval that occurs rst.

Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operat-

ing conditions, more frequent lubrication than

is specied in the maintenance intervals chart

might be necessary.

Perform service on items at multiples of the

original requirement. For example, at every 100

service hours, also service those items listed un-

der every 50 service hours and every 10 service

hours or daily.

A Description of the

Machine

Design

The Rayco RC6D Wood Chipper was designed

with both the operator and service technician

in mind. The RC6D Chipper will quickly reduce

brush and tree limbs into usable and consistently

sized chips or mulch.

The RC6D wood chipper is equipped with your

choice of either a 25hp Kohler or 35hp Briggs &

Stratton Vanguard engine that can be easily ser-

viced. The new design allows room to perform

most service tasks with ease and efciency.

The Newly designed chipping disc contains (2)

double edged knives. The knives cut against an

adjustable bed knife which allows the owner to

preset the gap to provide just the right size of

discharged chips or mulch. The disc is mounted

on heavy-duty bearings for longevity and ease of

maintenance.

The chipping disc is driven by a manually

engaged belt clutch through a simplied V-belt

system.

The In-Feed wheel is driven hydraulically and

monitored by the “Versa-Feed System” which

self-adjusts the material infeed rate accord-

ing to engine speed. This allows the operator

to concentrate on loading material rather that

continually monitoring the machine feeding rate

to prevent the engine from stalling.

Another feature to the Rayco RC6D machine

line is the externally mounted “High-Velocity

Discharge System” that keeps a constant air ve-

locity ow through the discharge chute allowing

a more consistent pile formation. The discharge

chute can be rotated 360 degrees and locked at

every 7.5 degree increment as well as elevated

or lowered for improved byproduct manage-

ment. The chute also has an adjustable locking

deector at the end of the discharge chute to

provide just the right amount of deection angle

you need.

The In-Feed Chute can accommodate material

up to 6 inches tall by 6 inches wide. The frame

consists of All-Steel channel and tubing with a

reinforced steel cutter housing to provide years

of service.

Features:

• A convenient all-steel lockable tool box.

• The Feed table folds up for reduced

storage space.

• High-Velocity Discharge fan

• Infeed wheel system provides a constant

material feed to the chipper disc.

• Electronic Versa-Feed system maintains

engine efciency when chipping large

materials thus saving the owner time

and fuel.

Operator Safety:

• Specially equipped with a Feed Control

Emergency Stop Bar (ANSI Z133.1)

• Fold Down Feed Table extends the distance

between operator and feed roller.

• Discharge Chute Deector Guard reduces

the risk of being struck by ying debris.

Serial Numbers

Whenever communicating with Rayco or your

Rayco dealer, have your machine serial num-

ber handy, as it can help pinpoint most exactly

what information is needed in caring for your

machine.

It is attached to the machine at the location

shown. For ready reference, record it in the

boxes provided on the inside front cover of this

manual.

For reference on communication regarding the

engine, record its model and serial numbers also

in the boxes provided on the inside front cover

of this manual. See the Engine Operator Manual

for assistance in locating the numbers on the

engine.

gling clothing; i.e. neckties, long belts or chains.

Hooded sweat shirts may be worn only if the

hood is tightly drawn around the face with

drawstrings tucked into the outer garment when

not in use. If working near trafc, wear reective

clothing.

Shoes- (Foot Protection)- Always over the ankle

work boots with skid resistant soles.

Breathing Protection- When breathing protec-

tion is required the use of paper masks that can

tear away if caught or entangled in material or

machine must be worn.

FLYING DEBRIS

Do not allow anyone to stand in front or directly

behind the machine. Flying debris could be

thrown past guards and injure bystanders if

they are in these areas.

PRESSURIZED AIR AND WATER

Pressurized air and/or water can cause

debris and/or hot water to be blown out. This

could result in personal injury.

When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is

used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, pro-

tective shoes, and eye protection. Eye protec-

tion includes goggles or a protective face shield.

The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes

must be reduced to 205 kPa (30 psi) when the

nozzle is deadheaded and the nozzle is used

with an effective chip deector and personal

protective equipment. The maximum water

pressure for cleaning purposes must be below

275kPa (40 psi).

TRAPPED PRESSURE

Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system.

Releasing trapped pressure can cause sudden

machine movement or attachment movement.

Use caution if you disconnect hydraulic lines of

ttings. High pressure oil that is released can

cause a hose to whip. High pressure oil that is

released can cause oil to spray. Fluid penetra-

tion can cause serious injury and possible

death.

FLUID PENETRATION

Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit

long after the engine has been stopped. The

pressure can cause hydraulic uid or items such

as pipe plugs to escape rapidly if the pressure is

not relieved correctly.

Do not remove any hydraulic components

or parts until pressure has been relieved or

personal injury may occur. Do not disas-

semble any hydraulic components or parts

until pressure has been relieved or personal

injury may occur. Refer to the Service Manual

for any procedures that are required to relieve

the hydraulic pressure

Always use a board or cardboard when you

check for a leak. Leaking uid that is under

pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid

penetration can cause serious injury and

possible death. A pin hole leak can cause

sever injury. If uid is injected into your skin you

must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment

from a doctor that is familiar with this type of

injury.

CONTAINING FLUID SPILLAGE

Care must be taken in order to ensure the uids

are contained during performance of inspection,

maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the

equipment. Prepare to collect the uid with suit-

able containers before opening any compartment

or disassembling any component that contains

uids.

· Tools that are suitable for collecting uids and

equipment that is suitable for collecting uids

· Tools that are suitable for containing uids and

equipment that is suitable for containing uids

Obey all local regulations for the disposal of

liquids.

ASBESTOS INFORMATION

Rayco recommends the use of only genuine

Rayco replacement parts. Use the following

guidelines when you handle any replacement

parts that contain asbestos or when you handle

asbestos debris.

Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be

generated when you handle components that

contain asbestos bers.

Inhaling this dust can be hazardous to your

health.

The components that may contain asbestos

bers are brake pads, brake bands, lining materi-

al, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbes-

tos that is used in these components is usually

bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal

handling is not hazardous unless airborne dust

that contains asbestos is generated.

If dust that may contain asbestos is present,

there are several guidelines that should be fol-

lowed:

· Never use compressed air for cleaning.

· Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos.

· Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos.

· Use a wet method in order to clean up asbes-

tos material.

· A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high

efciency particulate air lter (HEPA) can also

be used.

· Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machin-

ing jobs.

· Wear an approved respirator if there is no

other way to control the dust.

· Comply with applicable rules and regulations

for the work place, In the United States, refer to

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) requirements.

· Obey environmental regulations for the dis-

posal of asbestos.

· Stay away from areas that might have asbes-

tos particles in the air

DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the

environment. Potentially harmful uids should

be disposed of according to local regulations.

Always use leak proof containers when you drain

uids. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down

a drain, or into any source of water.

CRUSHING PREVENTION AND CUTTING

PREVENTION

Support the equipment properly before you

perform any work or maintenance beneath that

equipment. Do not depend on the hydraulic

cylinders to hold up the equipment. Equipment

can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line

breaks.

Do not perform any work until you have read

and followed the proper “Lock-Out / Tag-Out”

procedures.

Do not work beneath the cab of the machine un-

less the cab is properly supported.

Unless you are instructed otherwise, never at-

tempt adjustments while the machine is moving

or while the engine is running.

Never jump across the starter solenoid termi-

nals in order to start the engine. Unexpected

machine movement could result.

Whenever there are equipment control linkages,

the clearance in the linkage area will change with

the movement of the equipment or the machine.

Stay clear of areas that may have a sudden

change in clearance with machine movement or

equipment movement.

Avoid contact with the rotating feed wheel, cutter

wheel and rotor.

Always shut-off the engine and wait for all

moving parts, belts, fans, rotors, discs, cutting

wheels (etc.) to come to a complete stop before

opening access covers and/or guards.

Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. A

moving belt, pulley, sprocket and chain can

suddenly pull a limb into them causing loss or

severe injury.

If it is necessary to remove guards in order to

perform maintenance, always install the guards

after the maintenance is performed.

Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The

fan blade will throw or cut objects.

Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire

cable. Wear gloves when you handle wire cable.

When you strike a retainer pin with force, the

retainer pin can y out. The loose retainer pin

can injure personnel. Make sure that the area

is clear of people when you strike a retainer pin.

To avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective

glasses when you strike a retainer pin.

If equipment is unhitched from the tow vehicle for

operation, always block the wheels and support

the tongue weight with blocking to prevent unin-

tended movement. Do not use only the jackstand

to support the tongue while in operation.

BURN PREVENTION

Do not touch any part of an operating engine.

Allow the engine, radiator, exhaust and hydrau-

lic reservoir to cool before any maintenance is

performed. Relieve all pressure in the air system,

oil system, lubrication system, fuel system, and/

or in the cooling system before any lines, ttings

or related items are disconnected.

In addition, avoid contact with other related hot

engine parts such as exhaust manifolds, turbo-

chargers and mufers.

External exhaust parts become very hot during

operation. Paper, cloth, and wooden materials

could ignite if they come in contact with these

parts.

COOLANT

When the engine is at operating temperature, the

engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under

pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heat-

ers or to the engine contain hot coolant.

Any contact with hot coolant or with steam

can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system

components to cool before the cooling system is

drained.

SLOPE OPERATION

Machines that are operating safely in various ap-

plications depend on these criteria: the machine

model, conguration, machine maintenance, op-

erating speed of the machine, conditions of the

terrain, uid levels, and tire ination pressures.

The most important criteria are the skill and judg-

ment of the operation.

A well trained operator that follows the instruc-

tions in the Operation and Maintenance Manual

has the greatest impact on stability. Operator

training provides a person with the following

abilities: observation of working and environmen-

tal conditions, feel for the machine, identication

800-610-4101 • ActionRental.com

Safety Section

Safety Section 17

Printed in U.S.A.

of potential hazards, and operating the machine

safely by making appropriate decisions.

When you work on side hills and when you work

on slopes, consider the following important

points:

· Speed of travel – At higher speeds, forces of

inertia tend to make the machine less stable.

· Roughness of terrain or surface – The machine

may be less stable with uneven terrain.

· Direction of travel – Avoid operation the

machine across the slope. When possible, oper-

ate the machine up the slopes and operate the

machine down the slopes.

- Place the heaviest end of the machine uphill

when you are working on an incline.

· Mounted equipment – Balance of the machine

may be impeded by the following components:

equipment that is mounted on the machine,

machine conguration, weights, and counter-

weights.

· Nature of surface – Ground that has been

newly lled with earth may collapse from the

weight of the machine.

· Surface material – Rocks and moisture of

the surface material may drastically affect the

machine’s traction and machine’s stability.

Rocky surfaces may promote side slipping of the

machine.

· Slippage due to excessive loads – This may

cause downhill tracks or downhill tires to dig into

the ground, which will increase the angle of the

machine.

· Width of tracks or tires – Narrower tracks or

narrower tires further increase the digging into

the ground which causes the machine to be less

stable.

· Implements attached to the machine hitch or

drawbar – This may decrease the weight on the

uphill tracks. This may also decrease the weight

on the uphill tires. The decreased weight will

cause the machine to be less stable.

· Height of the working load of the machine –

When the working loads are in higher positions,

the stability of the machine is reduced.

· Operated equipment – Be aware of perfor-

mance features of the equipment in operation

and the effects on machine stability.

· Operating techniques – Keep all attachments

or pulled loads low to the ground for optimum

stability.

· Machine systems have limitations on slopes

– Slopes can affect the proper function and

operation of the various machine systems.

These machine systems are needed for machine

control on slopes.

· Note: Safe operation on steep slopes may

require special machine maintenance. Excellent

skill of the operator and proper equipment for

specic applications are also required. Consult

the Operation and Maintenance Manual sec-

tions for the proper uid level requirements and

intended machine use.

WORK TOOL OPTIONS- ATTACHMENTS

Only use work tools that are approved by Rayco

for use on Rayco machines. Refer to the Opera-

tion and Maintenance Manual, Rayco options”.

If you are in doubt about the compatibility of a

particular work tool with your machine, consult

your Rayco dealer.

Make sure that all necessary guarding is in place

on the host machine and on the work tool.

If equipped, keep all windows and doors closed

on the machine.

Always wear protective glasses. Always wear

the protective equipment that is recommended

in the work tool’s operation manual. Wear any

other protective equipment that is required for

the operating environment.

To prevent personnel from being struck by ying

objects, ensure that all personnel are out of the

work area.

While you are performing any maintenance, any

testing, or any adjustments to the machine, stay

clear of the following areas: cutting edges, pinch-

ing surfaces, and crushing surfaces.

EQUIPMENT LOWERING WITH ENGINE

STOPPED

Before lowering any equipment with the engine

stopped, clear the area around the equipment

of all personnel. The procedure to use will vary

with the type of equipment to be lowered. Keep

in mind this system use a high pressure uid to

raise or lower equipment. The procedure will

cause high pressure hydraulic oil to be released

in order to lower the equipment. Wear appropri-

ate personal protective equipment and follow

the established procedure in the Operation and

Maintenance Manual,

rough terrain.

8. Minimize vibrations for a long work cycle or a

long travel distance.

a. Haul the machines between workplaces.

9. Less operator comfort may be caused by

other risk factors. The following guidelines can

be effective in order to provide better operator

comfort:

a. Adjust the seat and adjust the controls in order

to achieve good posture.

b. Adjust the mirrors in order to minimize

twisted posture.

c. Provide breaks in order to reduce long

periods of sitting.

d. Avoid jumping from the cab.

e. Minimize repeated handling of loads and

lifting of loads.

f. Minimize any shocks and impacts during

sports and leisure activities.

GUARDS (OPERATOR PROTECTION)

There are different types of guards that are

used to protect the operator. The machine and

the machine application determines the type of

guard that should be used.

A daily inspection of the guards is required

in order to check for structures that are bent,

cracked or loose. Never operate a machine with

a damaged structure.

The operator becomes exposed to a hazard-

ous situation if the machine is used improperly

or if poor operating techniques are used. This

situation can occur even though a machine is

equipment with an appropriate protective guard.

Follow the established operating procedures that

are recommended for your machine.

PRECAUTIONS FOR WELDING ON FRAME

WITH ENGINE/MACHINE ELECTRONIC

CONTROL UNIT (ECU)

Important: ALWAYS disconnect Electronic Con-

trol Unit (ECU) connectors and engine control

system-to-machine ground before welding on

engine or machine.

High currents or electro-static discharge in

electronic components from welding may cause

permanent damage.

SAFETY DECALS

The safety decals located on this machine

contain useful and important information which

will help you to operate your machine safely. The

complete decal kit and location of each decal

is given in the “Parts” manual. For your protec-

tion, familiarize yourself with each label until you

completely understand the warning intended. Do

not violate any such warnings!

Keep all decals in place and in good condition:

• Use soap and water to keep decals clean. DO

NOT use mineral spirits, abrasive cleaners or

other similar cleaners which will damage the

decals.

• Replace any damaged or missing decals. Be-

fore attaching decals, the surface temperature of

the metal must be at least 40 degrees. The metal

should also be clean and dry before attaching

the decal.

• If a machine component to which a decal is at-

tached is replaced, be sure to replace the decal

as well.

• Replacement decals may be purchased from

Rayco Mfg or your Rayco dealer.

ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

(ROPS), FALLING OBJECT PROJEC-

TIVE STRUCTURE (FOPS) OR TIP OVER

PROTECTION STRUCTURE (TOPS)

The TOPS/FOPS Structure (if equipped) on your

machine is specically designed, tested and

certied for that machine. Any alteration or any

modication to the ROPS/FOPS Structure could

weaken the structure. This places the operator

into an unprotected environment. Modica-

tions or attachments that cause the machine

to exceed the weight that is stamped on the

certication plate also place the operator into

an unprotected environment. Excessive weight

may inhibit the brake performance, the steering

performance and the ROPS. The protection

that is offered by the ROPS/FOPS Structure will

be impaired if the ROPS/FOPS Structure has

structural damage. Damage to the structure

can be caused by an overturn, a falling object, a

collision, etc.

Do not mount items (re extinguishers, rst aid

kits, work lights, etc.) by welding brackets to the

ROPS/FOPS Structure or by drilling holes in the

ROPS/FOPS Structure.

Welding brackets or drilling holes in the ROPS/

FOPS Structures can weaken the structures.

Consult your Rayco dealer for mounting guide-

lines.

The Top Over Protection Structure (TOPS) is

another type of guard that is used on crawl-

ers. This structure protects the operator in the

even of a tip over. The same guidelines for the

inspection, the maintenance and the modication

of the ROPS/FOPS Structure are required for the

Top Over Protection Structure.

OTHER GUARDS (IF EQUIPPED)

Protection from ying object and/or falling

objects is required for special applications. Log-

ging applications and demolition applications are

two examples that require special protection.

A front guard needs to be installed when a work

tool that creates ying objects is used. Mesh

front guards that are approved by Rayco or

polycarbonate front guards that are approved

by Rayco are available for machines with a

cab or an open canopy. On machines that are

equipped with cabs, the windshield should also

be closed. Safety glasses are recommended

when ying hazards exist for machines with cabs

and machines with open canopies.

If the work material extends above the cab, top

guards and front guards should be used.

Additional guards may be required for specic

applications or work tools. The Operation and

Maintenance Manual for your machine or your

work tool will provide specic requirements for

the guards. Consult your Rayco dealer for ad-

ditional information.
