the control bar, front to back, is REvERSE (R), FORWARD (F),
STOP, REvERSE (R).
Directs the discharge of chipped material horizontally. The dis-
charge tube can be rotated 360° horizontally by pressing down
on the lock lever and rotating the discharge tube until the dis-
charge deflector faces the desired position. Release the dis-

used to adjust the height of the hitch. Always have in uP posi-
tion and clear from ground when moving. When in use, place in
DOWN position on a level surface.
During engine start-up, the engagement handle must be in
the disengaged (uP) position. With the engine at 1/4 throttle,
carefully engage the disk by slowly pushing the engagement
handle down, allowing the disk to speed up gradually. Engag-
ing the chipper too quickly with the engine at full or half throttle
will bog down the engine and will shorten the life of the belt. To
disengage the disk, first idle the engine down and then pull the
engagement handle up.

have better control over the material being fed into the chip-
per. Turning the knob clockwise will decrease the speed of the
feed roller. Turning the knob counterclockwise will increase the
speed of the feed roller.
Locks the turntable to the frame for any chipping position
(0°-360°). The chipper base must always be locked in place.

Materials to be chipped are fed into the feed chute, through the
feed roller, to the chipper blades.
s & f MoDELs oNLY: The feed chute has an extension tray
that folds down. Around the edge of the tray is an orange control
arm that will contact a safety switch (inside the switch box) when
depressed. The safety switch will stop the hydraulic flow to the
feed roller. The chipper will not feed material until the reset but-
ton on the top of the feed chute is pressed. The switch box has
a red light that will indicate the switch has been triggered and
will not go out until the reset button has been reset. The feed
roller will resume rotation once the machine has been reset.
Safety chains are used, during towing, to prevent the chipper
from completely separating from the tow vehicle in the event the
chipper detaches from the tow vehicle. Cross the safety chains
under the hitch and connect to tow vehicle.
