USING THE CHIPPER CHUTE
•Material such as stalksor heavy branches up to 3" in
diameter may be fed intothe chipperchute as shown in figure 37.
•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 compositionof the material being discharged changes (becomes stnngy, etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider- ably, it is likelythat the chipper blades are dull and need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the Service and Adjustments section, on page 21.
