GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in oper-
ating and maintaining your chipper. Read it care-
fully. It furnishes information and instructions that
will help you achieve years of dependable perfor-
mance. These instructions have been compiled
from extensive field experience and engineering
data. Some information may be general in nature
due to unknown and varying operating conditions.
However, through experience and these instruc-
tions, you should be able to develop procedures
suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing, but due to possible inline
production changes, your chipper may vary slightly in
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
chipper as may be necessary without notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left directions. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel.

(Safety Rules continued on next page)
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.

mounted on a rotating disk assembly. Material fed into
the chipper chute is sliced into small chips and pro-
pelled out though the discharge tube. The chips can be
diverted into a container or onto the ground.
As with any other piece of outdoor power equipment,
getting to know the feel for how your machine operates
and getting to know the best techniques for particular
jobs are important to overall good performance.
NOTE: For operation of this chipper, references to
right, left, forward, and rearward directions are deter-
mined from the operator’s position in the tractor seat.
ATTACHING CHIPPER TO TRACTOR
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
IMPORTANT
■
Avoid driveline angle greater than 15-degrees
up and down when the chipper is in use.
1. Attach chipper hitch pins to tractor 3-point lower lift
arms and secure.
2. Attach tractor top link to chipper clevis and secure
with tractor top link pin.
3. Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft.
NOTE: The minimum and maximum telescoping
on the PTO shaft is 18.11 inches to 24.49 inches.
The PTO shaft may need to be shortened depend-
ing on the tractor the chipper is mounted on. To
shorten the PTO shaft see Shorten Driveline, page
33.
4. Slide slip collar back to make connection.
5. Make sure connection is secure. Slip collar should
snap back into original position.
6. Adjust the tractor 3-point arm anti-sway devices to
prevent chipper from swaying side-to-side during
transport. Adjust top link so chipper is level front to
back.
7. Adjust or remove tractor drawbar so that it will not
interfere with chipper or driveline.

weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, front tractor wheels could raise up result-
ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attained
with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Figure 1. Tractor Stability
STARTING THE CHIPPER
Do not put chipper into service unless all
shields and guards are in place and in good condi-
tion. Replace if damaged.
Make sure the cutting chamber is empty before
starting the machine.
Shift tractor transmission into park or neutral
and set brakes before engaging PTO and chipper.
1. Make sure the cutting chamber is empty before
starting.
2. Adjust three-point top link so chipper sits level.
3. Set parking brake, start the tractor, and engage the
tractor PTO. Increase engine speed to rated PTO
RPM.
4. Make sure the feed roller control bar is in the STOP
position. The controller will flash red until the bar is
in STOP. See page 26 for a table of all flash codes
for the controller light.
NOTE: If forward and reverse feed positions are
reversed when you power up the chipper, you may
have plugged the connectors into the wrong plug.
STOPPING THE CHIPPER
1. Move tractor throttle to slowest position.
2. Disengage the tractor PTO and shut off tractor
engine.
3. Allow chipper to come to a complete stop.
OPERATING THE CHIPPER
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
NEVER Lean over the chipper chute to push
objects into the cutting device. Use a push stick or
brush paddle.
NEVER Use shovels or forks to feed brush. They
can cause extensive damage if they contact the
blades. In addition, metal pieces can be ejected
from the chipper chute and cause serious injury or
death.
NEVER Feed brush into the chute with your feet.
NEVER Use hands or feet to clear materials that
build up in the chute.
Make sure debris does not blow into traffic,
parked cars, or pedestrians.
When feeding material into machine, do not
allow metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or any other for-
eign material to be fed into the machine.
The machine chips a variety of materials into a more
readily decomposed or handled condition. The follow-
ing guidelines will help you get started.
1. Engage the hydraulic feed by pushing the feed
roller control arm into the forward position.
2. Limbs fed into the chipper chute must be 8 inches
in diameter or less. Trim side branches that cannot
be bent enough to feed into the chipper chute. Hold
small diameter branches together in a bundle and
feed in simultaneously.
CD1564-2
CAUTION
16 Operation
51210 (1/1/2016)
3. Place limb, butt end first, into the chipper chute
until it contacts the chipper blades. The actual feed
rate of the limb into the chipper will depend on the
type of material fed and sharpness of the cutting
blades.
4. Do not feed pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or
other foreign objects into the chipper.
5. Feed brush from the side of the chipper chute,
rather than from the front. Step aside to avoid
being hit by the brush moving into the chipper.
6. If the chipper disk slows, stop feeding material. The
feed roller will stop automatically to process
backed up material. Feed material more evenly.
7. If the chipper jams, the feed roller will reverse
momentarily to remove the branch.
8. Do not use the clutch to clear a plugged rotor. This
may cause belt damage. Refer to instructions for
clearing a plugged rotor in the Owner Service
section, page 23.
9. Alternate greener material with dry material to
lubricate the chipping blades for longer life and
better performance. Chipping dead, dry material
will create heat and dull the chipping blades
quickly.
10. Sharpen the chipping blades periodically. Check
the sharpness of the blades every 5 to 15 hours.
Refer to Owner Service section for sharpening
instructions, page 21.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn
off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline
from tractor PTO.
RAISE EXTENSION TRAY BEFORE TOWING
Raise the extension tray to an upright position before
towing the chipper. Secure with fastener located near
the top of the chute.
If your model is equipped with a safety bar, once the
extension tray is in an upright position, push the safety
bar down to lock the bar. To unlock, lower the exten-
sion tray and push in the safety bar.
FEED ROLLER CONTROL BAR
The Feed Roller Control Bar is used to manually con-
trol the direction of the feed roller rotation.
●
Move the Feed Roller Control Bar to FORWARD
(F) when you want the materials to feed into the
chipper. The controller light must be steady green.
●
Move the Feed Roller Control Bar to REVERSE (R)
when you want the chipper to push material back
out of the feed chute.
●
Move the Feed Roller Control Bar to STOP to halt
the rotation of the feed roller.
Figure 2. Feed Roller Control Bar
CHIPPER CONTROLLER
This machine is equipped with a Plus 1 Controller. The
controller monitors the chipper disk RPM and regulates
the feed roller.
When chipper disk RPM drops too low, the feed roller is
stopped automatically to allow the chipper disk to pro-
cess material.
When the chipper disk returns to chipping RPM, the
feed roller will automatically reengage.
Try Again Feature: If the feed roller becomes
obstructed, the controller will reverse the feed roller
momentarily to clear the obstruction. The controller will
then engage the feed roller and feed the material
again.
If this cycle continues, remove or reposition the mate-
rial manually.
Remember to sharpen blades frequently so mate-
rial will feed smoothly.
The controller light will flash the following codes
(See Page 26 for more information):
●
Normal Operating RPM: Steady green light indi-
cates engine has reached full RPM.
●
Feed Bar Not in Stop: Flashing red light indicates
operator must put feed bar in STOP position.
●
Service Code: Flashing Amber light is a reminder
to check blade sharpness.
●
RPM Too Low: Flashing green light indicates
operator must increase engine RPM before starting
to chip.
Operation 17
51210 (1/1/2016)
NOTE: The disk sensor and feed roller control bar
sensors must be set to the correct clearance or the
chipper will not operate. Set the clearance to 1/32”.
The sensor will flash with every rotation of the chip-
per disk when the clearance is set correctly.
FEED ROLLER SPEED CONTROL
With the feed roller speed control the operator can
adjust the speed of the feed roller, allowing the opera-
tor to have better control of how material is fed into the
chipper.
It is recommended that the feed roller operate at a
faster rate for smaller branches and at a slower rate for
larger branches.
Figure 3. Feed Roller Speed Control
STORING CHIPPER
1. On a hard, level surface lower chipper with 3-point
lift arms to the ground.
2. Disconnect drive shaft, 3-point lift arms, and top
link from tractor.
3. Place drive shaft in storage position up off the
ground.
CLEANING
After Each Use

SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
Before inspecting, servicing, storing, or chang-
ing an accessory, shut off power source, make
sure all moving parts have come to a complete
stop, and disconnect PTO driveline.
LUBRICATION
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all
locations unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before
attaching grease gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is
followed.

INSTALLING DISK LOCK
When working on the chipper disc, use the disc lock to
hold the disk in place. (See Figure 2).
1. Tilt the rotor access cover open to expose the
chipper disk.
2. Remove the pin from its storage position and put it
into the hole in the cap shaft.
3. Rotate the chipper disk until the pin slides all the
way in through the shaft cap.
4. After maintenance is done, remove the pin and
place it back in its storage position.
Figure 2. Disk Lock
CHIPPER BLADE MAINTENANCE
The chipper blades will eventually become dull, making
chipping difficult and adding extra strain on the
machine.
CHECK THE SHARPNESS OF THE BLADES EVERY
5 to 15 HOURS OF OPERATION AND SHARPEN AS
NEEDED.
The controller light will flash an amber code every 15
hours as a reminder to check the chipper blades. To
reset the controller, See Flash Code Guide on Page
26.
Your blades need to be sharpened if:
●
Machine vibrates severely when material is fed into
the chipper.
●
Small diameter branches do not self-feed.
●
Chips discharge unevenly or have stringy tails,
especially when chipping green branches.
Before you sharpen the chipping blades, check for per-
manent damage. Replace the blade if:
●
There are cracks, broken corners or nicks greater
than 1/8". (See Figure 3).
Figure 3. Blade Damage
●
The base of the cutting edge is worn or has been
resharpened so that it no longer extends past the
chipping slot. (See Figure 4).
Figure 4. Blade Cutting Edge Length
CHANGING THE BLADES
Chipping blades are sharp! Use caution when
working on machine to avoid injury.
1. Remove the two 3/8" bolts on the rotor access
cover.
