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 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 composition of the material being discharged changes (becomes stringy, etc.) or if the rate of discharge slows down consider- ably, 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 23.
& 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.
