TIMBERWOLF TW PTO S426 SPECIFICATION
Power source Tractor PTO drive
Overall weight 1260kg
(without prop shaft)
Type of feed Hydraulic

Material processing capacity 3 tonnes/hr
Required engine power 80 - 115hp
PTO speed 1000rpm
The Timberwolf TW PTO S426
The Timberwolf PTO S426 is a high speed, heavy duty professional shredder. It is designed to shred general
green waste (brash, prunings, hedge trimmings, Leylandii, Christmas trees, rootballs, etc.),brushwood up to
100mm (4”) continuously, pallets, domestic doors, wooden and plastic window frames (all pre-cut to fit feed
aperture), contaminated timber, chipboard, MDF, packaging materials, uPVC plastic, cardboard, wooden
furniture, fence posts and similar items. The machine will tolerate drinks cans, plastic bottles, stones, rocks and
concrete (up to fist size), nails, metal door furniture, glass bottles and similar items.
To properly control the speed of material entering the shredder chamber, the machine relies on the large feed
roller to grip the material. The feed roller can grip material down to 15mm in diameter. The machine will not
tolerate or process items such as tyres, mattresses, heavy duty plastic containers (used for oils, chemicals,
etc.), carpets, reinforced concrete, metallic items exceeding lightweight domestic door furniture, commercial
plastic gas pipe, alkathene water pipe, metal reinforced drainage/irrigation pipe, baler twine, rope, metal
banding, computer hard drives (which contain magnets) and any similar objects to the above.
NOTE: When materials are corrosive they may attack and degrade the individual components. It is essential that
the unit be thoroughly cleaned down after shredding anything that may contain materials of an aggressive nature.
Ejection of material – Warning! The PTO S426 shredder ejects material at high speed. Ensure there is an
adequate safety zone and that ejected material is aimed away from operators into a safe area, i.e. an
enclosure or container with a back stop (i.e. wall) behind it to prevent ejected material from leaving the work
area and causing injury and damage. If loading into a truck or trailer, ensure the structure is strong enough to
cope with the impact from ejected material.

5SAFE WORKING
BASIC SHREDDING SAFETY
he operator should be aware of the following points:
MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the shredder of at least 10 metres for the
general public or employees without adequate protection. Due to the nature of material being
shredded and the distance/velocity of discharge, the exclusion zone must be extended to 20
metres in front of the discharge tube exit. Use hazard tape to identify this working area and keep
it clear from debris build up. Shredded material should be ejected away from any area the
general public have access to.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The shredding
action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to
respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be shredded
before you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.
BE AWARE when the shredder is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material
can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the
funnel, the brash may push you to one side causing danger.
BE AWARE that the shredder can eject material out of the feed funnel with considerable force.
Always wear full head and face protection.
ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.
WARNING
The shredder will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on
the hammers to be free to swing. DO NOT put bricks, large stones, string,
carpet, tyres or metal into the shredder.
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTI E EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet fitted
with mesh visor and
recommended ear defenders to
the appropriate specifications.
Work gloves with elasticated
wrist.
Close fitting heavy-duty
non-snag clothing.
Face mask if
appropriate.
DO NOT
wear rings, bracelets, watches,
jewellery or any other items that
could be caught in the material
and draw you into the shredder.
Steel toe cap safety boots.

TIMBERWOLF
TW PTO S426
DO NOT use shredder unless available light is
sufficient to see clearly.
DO NOT attempt to engage PTO without the feed
funnel, belt guard, guards and discharge unit
securely in place.
DO NOT operate the shredder unless properly
guarded.
DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel
when using the shredder. Stand to one side.
DO NOT allow -

ALWAYS stop the tractor engine and disconnect
the PTO shaft before making any adjustments,
refuelling or cleaning..
ALWAYS check machine has stopped rotating
and remove tractor ignition key before
maintenance of any kind, or whenever the
machine is to be left unattended.
ALWAYS check machine is well supported and

ALWAYS run tractor engine at required speed to
acheive correct PTO speed.
ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.
ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal
protective equipment for long periods can be tiring
and hot.
ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of
feed opening, discharge and moving parts.
ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push
stick to push in short pieces. Under no
circumstances should you reach into the funnel.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,
animals and children.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from
debris build up.
ALWAYS keep clear of the discharge tube.
Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.
ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place
before commencing work. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life.
ALWAYS use shredder in a well ventilated area -
exhaust fumes are dangerous.

9OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MANUAL CONTROLS
Roller control boxes- two control boxes are located on either side of the feed tray. Their function is to
control the feed roller that draw material into the machine. hey do not control the main drum.
RED SAFETY BAR = This is the large red bar that surrounds the feed tray and side of the feed
funnel. The bar is spring loaded and connected to a switch that will interrupt the power to the roller. The
switch is designed so that it only activates if the bar is pushed to the limit of its travel. The roller will
stop instantly, but can be made to turn again by pressing either the GREEN FEED or BLUE REVERSE
control buttons.
GREEN BUTTON = Forward feed - Push the button once - this activates the roller and will allow you
to start shredding (if the drum speed is high enough).
B UE BUTTON = Reverse feed - allows you to back material out of the roller. The roller will only turn
in reverse as long as you keep pressing the button.

RED SAFETY BAR
Control Box Diagram
Do not rely on the red bar to keep the roller
stationary if it is necessary to clear or touch the
roller. Always switch off the machine and remove
ignition key before approaching the roller.
There are two control boxes, located on
either side of the feed tray.
ENSURE feed funnel, feed roller guard, prop shaft guards and access covers are fitted and
secure, and that discharge unit is fitted and pointing in a safe direction.
WHEN ready to start shredding, increase PTO speed slowly until 1000 rpm is achieved.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING TESTS to check safety equipment - this
sequence of tests will only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are
carried out daily. Observing the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are
working correctly. This is also a good opportunity to remind all operators of the control and
emergency stop systems.
