4. 5DRIVELINE DIMENSIONS
APTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To
accompany the variety of 3.point hitch geometry
available today, the driveline can be too long for most
machines or too short for others. It is very important
that the driveline be free to telescope but not to bottom
out when going through its working range. If the
driveline bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine
and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a
short time.
1. To determine the proper length of the driveline,
follow this procedure:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
b. Attach the chipper to the tractor (see section 5.8)
but do not attach the driveline.
c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level
with the tractor PTO shaft.
d. Measure the dimension between the locking
grooves on the tractor PTO shaft and the machine input
shaft.
e. Measure the same dimensions on the compressed
driveline.
f. If the compressed driveline dimension exceeds the
machine dimension, the driveline will have to be cut.
2. When cutting the driveline, follow this
procedure:
a. Subtract the machine dimension (A) from the
uncut driveline dimension (B) or (B-A). This
dimension determines how much too long the driveline
is.
b. Add another inch (25 mm) to the dimension to be
sure it doesn't bottom out, to determine (C) the cut off
dimension.
c. Use ahacksaw to cut dimension (C) from both
ends. Cut both the plastic tubes and the metal cores.
d. Use afile to remove the burrs from the edges that
were cut.
e. Assemble the 2ends of the shaft.
f. Make sure the shaft can telescope freely. If it does
not, separate the 2parts and inspect for burrs or
cuttings on the shaft ends. Be sure it telescopes freely
before installing.

4.6 MOUNTINGAND
UNHOOKING TRACTOR
When attaching chipper to atractor, follow this
procedure:

c. Route and secure the hoses along the hitch with
clips, tape or plastic ties to prevent binding and
pinching. Be sure to provide slack for turning.
NOTE
Always connect to the hydraulic circuit with a
detent.
9. Slowly raise the machine through its working
range to make sure the telescoping portion of the PTO
shaft doesn't bottom out.
10. Level the machine front and rear, and side to side
using the jackscrew on the right arm and the turnbuckle

on the top link.
The chipper should always be level on the ground in
its working position.
11. To unhook from the tractor, reverse the above
procedure. Always park the machine in adry, level
area. If vandalism is aproblem, remove the PTO
driveline and store in asecure place.
4. 7CONTROLS
All controls are conveniently positioned next to
where the operator would stand when feeding the
machine to provide easy operation. Review this
section to familiarize yourself with the location and
function of each control before starting.
1. Hydraulic Feed Control Lever:
This lever is positioned to extend around the feed
hopper and provides access from all sides. It is only
available when the chipper is equipped with the
optional hydraulic feed hopper.
Pull the control all the way out to engage the
feeding system. Push in slightly to the first detent to
stop the feeding system.
Push the control all the way in to reverse the
feeding system.
NOTE
Use the typical flow divider next to the control valve
to set the feeding spread.
2. Deflector Position:
Each discharge hood is equipped with adeflector
on the end to place the chips exactly where desired.
There are 2types available:
a. Manual Clamp (BX42):
The deflector is held in place by clamping bolts on
each side. Loosen the clamps, move the deflector and
tighten the clamps. Position as desired.
b. Spring-Loaded (BX62/BX92):
The deflector is spring-loaded up and held in
place by achain. Release the chain from its anchor
bracket and move the deflector to its desired
position.
Secure chain in its anchor bracket.
3. PTO Control:
If you are not familiar with the location of the
PTO control on your tractor, review your tractor's
Operator's Manual. Always engage the PTO control
slowly when the engine is running at low idle RPM.
Disengage the PTO control slowly at low RPM to
allow the machine to slow and stop before engaging
the PTO brake. Remember the PTO drives the rotor.
When the PTO is engaged the rotor will also start to
turn.
4. Flow Control Valve:
This manually-set flow divider allows the
operator to set the flow through the circuit from 0%
to 100% by dumping the excess flow back to the
tractor. Ascale on the face of the valve is numbered
from 0to 10 to define the percent of flow from 0to
100% flowing into the circuit. The hydraulic feed
circuit is equipped with aflow divider so the
operator can adjust the feeding speed appropriate for
the operating conditions. Loosen the lock and move
the pointer arm to the desired position.
Tighten the lock bolt. Adjust in small increments
as asmall change can result in alarge change to
feeding speed.

16. Blades:
There are 2types of blades used on the Wood
Chipper. They work together to cut, shear and shred the
wood as it moves through the machine.
a. Rotor blades:
The rotor is equipped with 4blades placed at 90° to
each other to keep the rotor in balance. If one needs to
be changed, the one opposite should be changed.
b. Stationary blade:
Each machine is equipped with astationary blade
that acts as astop for the moving rotor blades.
Machine is shown with guard opened or rotor
cover opened for illustrative purposes only.
Do not operate machine with guard opened or
cover opened.
17. Clearance:
It is recommended that the clearance between the
rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at
1/32 inch to obtain the best performance.
Use the stationary blade mounting bolts to set the
clearance as required.
Each machine is equipped with atwig breaker to
break up twigs or other long material as it moves
through the rotor compartment. Open the rotor cover
and check the condition of the breaker on aweekly
basis. Also check for any entangled material when the
rotor cover is opened. Remove this material prior to
closing the cover and resuming work.

opened for illustrative purposes only.
Do not operate machine with guard opened or cover
opened.
Disassembled Double Mounting

19. Shear Pin: The PTO driveline is designed with a
shear pin at the input yoke to prevent overloading the
drive system. Remove the broken parts from the yoke
when the pin shears and replace with genuine parts.
The drive system is designed to function well
without failing the shear pin. If it does fail, generally it
is being fed too fast or something very hard has been
jammed into the rotor or between the blades. Always
unplug the system and determine the cause of the
problem and correct it before resuming work.
Machine is shown with guard opened or rotor
compartment.
•Clean out the discharge area/rotor.
•Open the rotor cover and clean out the housing. Be
sure to turn the rotor by hand to be sure there is nothing
jammed between the rotor and stationary blades.

20. Unplugging:
Although the machine is designed to handle awide
variety of material without any problem, occasionally it
plugs. When the machine plugs, follow this procedure
to unplug:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
b. Stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place
it in your pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop
before unplugging.
c. Pull the material out of the feed hopper or reverse
the hydraulic feed hopper. Be sure all the material is
out and nothing is jammed or wedged between the
input opening and the rotor.
d. Pull the material out of the discharge hood. Use a
stick to poke loose any material jammed into the
discharge hood.
Do not allow anything to remain in this area.
e. Severe plug:
•Loosen the feed hopper anchor nuts and raise the
feed hopper. Remove material from inside the rotor

cover opened for illustrative purposes only.
Do not operate machine with guard opened or
cover opened.
Rotor Cover
21 . Cleaning:
Clean the machine frequently to prevent abuildup of
dust, chips and trash on the frame. Aclean machine
reduces the chance of rusting.
22. Curtains:
Each feed hopper is designed with an internal
rubber/belting curtain to prevent chips and debris from
coming out of the hopper when working.
Check the condition of the curtain each day prior to
starting. Replace the curtain if torn, damaged or
missing to minimize the chance of material coming out
of the feed hopper.
23. Sharpening Blades:
The rotor and stationary blades need to be sharp for
the chipper to perform as expected.
It is recommended that the rotor blades be removed
from the rotor when sharpening.
Always sharpen the blades at a45° angle to provide

the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade.
Be sure to tighten the blade mounting bolts to their
specified torque when re-installing the blades to the
rotor.
The stationary blade is designed with 4sharp corners
that can be utilized. When the corner facing the rotor
blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install with
adifferent corner facing the rotor blade. Use the
stationary blade to set the clearance to the rotor blade
when re-installing. Be sure to tighten mounting bolts to
their specified torque.
24. Hydraulic Feed Control:
The machine with the hydraulic feed hopper is
designed with acontrol lever to place the hopper in
FEED -OFF/NEUTRAL -REVERSE.
Pull all the way out to feed, push in to the first
detent for off or neutral and fully in for reverse. In
reverse the material in the hopper is pulled out of the
rotor.
Use reverse when the rotor is overloaded, jammed
or plugged.
IMPORTANT
Check the function of the control lever when
attaching the hydraulic lines to the tractor. The hopper
must feed in when the lever is moved out. If it does not,
reverse the hoses. The control lever must function
like the drawing on each side of the hopper or the
hoses must be reversed .
Use the flow divider valve to set the speed of the
feed hopper. Use the quality of the job being done to
establish the required feed speed. Increase the speed
when chipping brush or twigs. Decrease the speed
when chipping hard, solid material or when the
engine is being pulled down.
25. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Each person must wear appropriate personal
protective equipment whenever operating the chipper
or working in the vicinity. This equipment is designed
to prevent injury to any personnel in the area. This list
includes but is not limited to:
•Safety shoes with slip resistant soles.
•Safety goggles or face shield.
•Hearing protection.
•Heavy or leather gloves.
26. Operating Hints:
a. Keep the working area clean and free of debris to
prevent slipping or tripping. Operate only on level
ground.
b. Do not place hands or any body parts into the feed
hopper during operation. Use astick or branch to push
material into the rotor when it goes past the curtain in
the feed hopper.
c. Do not point discharge at people, animals or
buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough to
cause injury.
d. Use care when feeding material into the chipper.
Do not send metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other
foreign material into the wood chipper. If foreign
material enters chipper, stop machine turn engine off
and place ignition key in your pocket and wait for all
moving parts to stop before removing material and/or
unplugging. Inspect machine for damaged or loose
parts before resuming work.
