USING THE CHIPPER CHUTE

Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3" in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute as shown in figure 29.

Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when feeding material into the chipper chute.

Use the tamper plug, not your hands, to force material down through the chipper chute.

For best performance, it is important to keep the chipper blades sharp. If the composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down considerably, it is likely that the chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the Service and Adjustments section, on page 29.

WARNING: Do not attempt to feed any material larger than 3" in diameter into the

chipper chute. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

DANGER: Keep hands out of chipper chute. Rotating blades in impeller housing can cause serious injury. Use the tamper plug to help push material down into the chute.
