SAFE WORKING
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet fitted
with visor and recommended
ear defenders to the
appropriate specifications
Loose fit,
Heavy-duty gloves.
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 chipper.
BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY
The operator should be aware of the following points:
MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the chipper of at least 10 metres for the
general public or employees without adequate protection. - Use hazard tape to identify this
working area and keep it clear from debris build up. Chips should be ejected away from any
area the general public have access to.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The chipping
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 chipped before
you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.
BE AWARE when the chipper 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. Badly twisted brash should be
trimmed before being chipped to avoid thrashing in the feed funnel.
BE AWARE that the chipper can eject chips out of the feed funnel with considerable force.
Always wear full head and face protection.
WARNING
The Chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on
sharp blades on the chipper rotor. To keep the
blades sharp, only feed the machine with clean brushwood.
DO NOT put muddy / dirty wood, roots, potted plants, bricks,
stones or metal into the chipper.

SAFE TRANSPORTATION
THE TW PTO 100G chipper may be transported as a unit or with the feed funnel removed.
TAKE care when loading the TW PTO 100G as it is 268 kg in weight.
STRAP the chipper down firmly before beginning a journey.
ENSURE no debris or water is trapped in the rotor housing that may spill during transit.
DELIVERY
All Timberwolf TW PTO 100G machines have a full pre - delivery inspection before leaving the factory
and are ready to use. Read and understand this instruction manual before attempting to operate the
Chipper. In particular, read pages 5 -7 which contain important health and safety information and advice.
OPERATOR’S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
CHAINSAW safety helmet fitted with visor
and recommended ear defenders to an
appropriate specification.
HEAVY-DUTY gloves.
CLOSE - FITTING heavy-duty non-snag clothing.
SAFETY footwear.
FACE MASK (if appropriate).
See page 5 for more detailed information.
HITCHING UP
The first time a tractor is fitted to the chipper the
correct length of tow beam needs to be set. The
length corresponds to the exact propeller shaft that is
to be used. Adjustment is made underneath the
chipper. Remove the M12 bolt from underneath the
chassis (1) and slide the bar until the desired length
is reached. Replace the bolt and tighten.
With mechanical equipment that is to be hitched to a
tractor PTO an emergency stop lanyard should be
fitted to the tractor. This allows the tractor to be
stopped from behind should the need arise, for
example in an emergency. The lanyard is provided
and should be attached to the relevant equipment.
1
The PTO100G is fitted with a pin type hitch. It is
suitable for use with a range of compact tractor
fittings. The chipper tow head is fitted onto the
tractor coupling and a steel pin (1) dropped
through the hole. This should be retained with an
R clip (2) for security.
The front leg that keeps the chipper level and
provides support for the propeller shaft is
movable. After hitching to a tractor and fitting the
prop shaft the bolt (3) can be removed and the leg
swung horizontal. The bolt is then refitted in hole
shown (4).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9
LOCATE the machine on firm level ground.
CHECK all guards are in place.
CHECK the discharge unit is pointing in a safe direction.
CHECK the feed funnel to ensure no objects are inside.
STOP lanyard is securely attached and free to move.
For parts location see diagrams on pages 3 & 4.
DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
STARTING TO CHIP
WARNING
Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the
protective guarding and discharge unit securely in place.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or loss of life.
!!
CHECK that the chipper is running smoothly.
STAND to one side of the feed funnel.
PROCEED to feed material into the feed funnel.
CHIPPING
Wood up to 100mm in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Enter it into the funnel butt end first.
Release the material before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly
whilst being chipped.
The wood will be drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear.
A piece of wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this
happens it is possible to hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain
its speed again.
If a piece of wood gets stuck in the funnel and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need
to be removed. Trim the branch until it is a suitable shape for the chipper to accept.
BLADE WEAR
The most important part of using a wood chipper is keeping the cutter blades sharp. The PTO100G
is fitted with two 177mm (7") blades. They are 42mm wide when new.
A new blade should chip between 5 and 10 tonnes of material before sharpening. This figure will be
drastically reduced by feeding the machine with stony, sandy or muddy material.
As the blades become blunt the machine reduces the feed speed. The discharge will stop being so
cleanly cut and have more stringy shreds in it. At this point the blades should be sent to a reputable
blade sharpening company. The blades can be sharpened several times during their life. A wear mark
on the reverse side indicates the safe limit of blade wear. Replace when this line is exceeded.
CONNECTING PTO SHAFT
ALWAYS ENSURE THETRACTOR IS TURNED OFF BEFORE FITTING OR REMOVING PROP SHAFT.
When fitting a PTO shaft it should always be remembered that 100mm of overlap is required between
the two sections of the shaft. This is the minimum needed to ensure the shaft does not fail.
To connect the PTO shaft follow the instructions supplied with the shaft. The shaft should remain fitted
to the chipper at all times. It can be placed on the prop shaft support when the tractor is removed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 10
HANDLE blades with extreme caution to avoid injury. Gloves should always be worn when
handling the cutter blades.
THE drive belts should be connected while changing blades, as this will restrict sudden
movement of the rotor.
THE major components of this machine are heavy. Lifting equipment must be used for
disassembly.
CLEAN machines are safer and easier to service.
SAFE MAINTENANCE
Only fit genuine Entec replacement blades, screws and chipper spares. Failure to do so will
result in the invalidation of the warranty and may result in damage to the chipper, personal
injury or even loss of life.
SPARES
BLOCKAGES
Always be aware that what you are putting into the chipper must come out. If the chips stop coming
out of the discharge tube but the chipper is taking material in - STOP IMMEDIATELY. Continuing to
feed material into a blocked machine may cause damage and will make it difficult to clear.
If the chipper becomes blocked proceed as follows:
STOP the tractor and remove the keys.
REMOVE the discharge tube. Check that it is clear.
WEARING gloves, reach into the rotor housing and scoop out the debris causing the blockage.
WARNING
Do not reach into the rotor housing with unprotected hands. There are
sharp blades and any small movement of the rotor may cause serious injury.
REPLACE the discharge tube.
RESTART the engine and increase to full speed.
ALLOW machine time to clear excess chips still remaining in rotor housing before you
continue feeding brushwood. Feed in a small piece of wood whilst watching to make sure
that it comes out of the discharge. If this does not clear it, repeat the process and carefully
inspect the discharge tube to find any obstruction.
NOTE
Continuing to feed the chipper with brushwood once it has become blocked will cause the chipper to
compact the chips in the rotor housing and it will be difficult and time consuming to clear.
AVOID THIS SITUATION - WATCH THE DISCHARGE TUBE AT ALL TIMES.
!!

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 12
The Timberwolf TW PTO 100G is subject to large vibrations during the normal course of operation.
Consequently there is always a possibility that nuts and bolts will work themselves loose. It is
important that periodic checks are made to ensure the security of all fasteners. Fasteners should be
tightened using a torque wrench to the required torque (see below).
Size Pitch Head Length (mm) Detail Torque Nm Torque Ibft

General M10 Standard 17mm Hex n/a Standard 45 32
General M12 Standard 19mm Hex n/a Standard 80 80
CHECK FITTINGS
ANVIL CHANGING
The anvil is an important component in maintaining a consistent machine performance. Inspect it with
the feed funnel removed. A measure of the wear is how sharp the edge is. If it has become seriously
rounded then it is appropriate to change it.
Turning or replacing the anvil should be carried out by a Timberwolf dealer.
ADJUST BELT TENSION
1. Remove the belt guard.
2. Check the belt tension. Tension is
correct when 4.5kg of force deflects one
belt 6mm at the centre of its span. (Push
the belt firmly with your index finger; it
should deflect to roughly the depth of your
fingernail).
3. Loosen the M12 Bolt.
4. Adjust the belt tension by tightening the nut
clamping the bracket to the base.
5. Refit belt guard.
N.B. Early models were fitted with a gearbox on a slider. The belt tensioner for these models is
located on the slide plate.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 13
CHANGE GEAR BOX OIL
1. Remove the feed funnel.
2. Insert M10 screw into rotor to stop it turning.
3. Using the Torx fitting provided loosen the
blade screws.
4. Remove the blade carefully.
5. Before fitting a new blade ensure the seating
surface on the rotor is spotlessly clean. This
is necessary to ensure the blade is always
held firm. Damage to the rotor may be
caused if this is not checked.
6. Apply a small amount of copper grease to the
blade screws.
7. Using a torque wrench tighten the blade
screws to 35 Nm (25 lbs ft).
WARNING
Wear riggers gloves for the blade changing operation.
