SAFE WORKING 5

BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY

The operator should be aware of the following points:

MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the chipper of at least 10 metres for the

general public or employees without adequate protection. Use hazard tape to identify this

working area and keep it clear from debris build up. Chips should be ejected away from any

area the general public have access to.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The chipping

action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to

respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be chipped before

you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.

BE AWARE when the chipper is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material

can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the

funnel, the brash may push you to one side causing danger. Badly twisted brash should be

trimmed before being chipped to avoid thrashing in the feed funnel.

BE AWARE that the chipper can eject chips out of the feed funnel with considerable force.

Always wear full head and face protection.

ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.

WARNING

The chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on sharp

blades on the chipper rotor. To keep the blades sharp, only feed the machine

with clean brushwood. DO NOT put muddy/dirty wood, roots, potted plants,

bricks, stones or metal into the chipper. !

OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Chainsaw safety helmet

fitted with mesh visor and

recommended ear defenders

to the appropriate

specifications.

Work gloves with

elasticated wrist.

Close fitting heavy-duty

non-snag clothing.

Face mask if

appropriate.

DO NOT

wear rings, bracelets,

watches, jewellery or any

other items that could be

caught in the material and

draw you into the chipper.

Steel toe cap safety boots.

SAFE WORKING 6

WARNING

NEVER LEAVE CHIPPER ON A SLOPE UNATTENDED.

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS

DO NOT operate chipper unless available light is

sufficient to see clearly.

DO NOT use or attempt to start the chipper

without the feed funnel, guards and discharge

unit securely in place.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel

when using the chipper. Stand to one side.

DO NOT allow -

DO NOT smoke when refuelling.

DO NOT let anyone who has not received

instruction operate the machine.

DO NOT climb or ride on the machine at any time.

DO NOT handle material that is partially engaged

in the machine.

DO NOT touch any exposed wiring while

machine is running.

DO NOT use the chipper inside buildings.

- to enter the machine, as damage is likely.

ALWAYS stop the chipper engine before making

any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.

ALWAYS check rotor has stopped rotating and

remove chipper ignition key before maintenance

of any kind, or whenever the machine is to be left

unattended.

ALWAYS check the machine is well supported

and cannot move.

ALWAYS operate the chipper with the engine set

to maximum speed when chipping.

ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.

ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal

protective equipment for long periods can be

tiring and hot.

ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of

feed opening, discharge and moving parts.

ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push

stick to push in short pieces. Under no

circumstances should you reach into the funnel.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,

animals and children.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from

debris build up.

ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.

Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.

ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place

before commencing work. Failure to do so may

result in personal injury or loss of life.

ALWAYS operate the chipper in a well ventilated

area - exhaust fumes are dangerous.

RED SAFETY BAR

See page 5 for more detailed information.

Roller control box - is the control box above the feed opening of the chipper funnel. Its function is to control

the feed rollers. The feed rollers draw material into the machine. It does not control the main rotor.

RED SAFETY BAR = This is the large red bar that surrounds the sides and top of the feed funnel

(sides and bottom on high funnel). The bar is spring loaded and connected to a switch that will

interrupt the power to the rollers. The switch is designed so that it only activates if the bar is pushed

(pushed or pulled...low funnel only) to the limit of its travel. The rollers stop instantly, but can be made

to turn again by pressing either the GREEN FEED or BLUE REVERSE control buttons.

LOW SAFETY BAR = An additional safety bar is located along the bottom of the low funnel. This is

linked directly to the main bar, and will stop the rollers if pushed only. Pulling this bar will only move

it into its ‘stowed’ (up) position.

GREEN BUTTON = Forward feed - Push the button once - this activates the rollers and will allow you

to start chipping (if the rotor speed is high enough).

RED BUTTON = Emergency stop - This button stops the rollers from feeding. It overrides all other

buttons or bars and will not allow the other buttons to function until it has been reset. Pull the button out to

reset, the forward and reverse buttons will now function.

BLUE BUTTON = Reverse feed - allows you to back material out of the rollers. The rollers will only

turn in reverse as long as you keep pressing the button. You do not have to press the STOP button

before pressing the GREEN FEED button to recommence feeding. NOTE: This reverse function will

work even if the safety bar is pushed or pulled.

Do not rely on the red bar to keep the rollers stationary if it is

necessary to clear or touch the rollers. Always switch off the

machine and remove ignition key before approaching the rollers.

Control Panel Diagram

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9

CRAWLER TRACK CONTROLS

The chipper is designed to operate in either chipper or crawler mode, but not both at the same time.

CHIPPING MODE

Power is available to the feed rollers. The cutting disc is rotating but the unit is stationary.

CRAWLER TRACK MODE

Power is available to the crawler tracks. The cutting disc is rotating but the feed rollers are stationary.

To switch between modes, a lever is operated (see diagram below). This is located

on the driving control panel (see parts locator on page 3). It is clearly marked.

When Track mode is selected the two track control valves may be operated. These

have direct control over the track relevant to each side of the machine. They are

proportional valves, so increased movement will result in increased track speed.

Tracking may be done at either high or low engine speed. Manoeuvring the

machine in tight spaces and while loading and unloading should be done with the

engine on low speed.

For machines fitted with variable tracks, track width adjustment is only possible with

the track/chip control in the chip position. Track adjust handle is spring loaded to the

middle (see diagram, right). The more you move the handle, the more the tracks

adjust. To move the tracks outward, move the track adjust handle up. To bring

tracks inward, move the track adjust handle down.

TRACK

CHIP

AUTO CONTROLS

The engine management unit controls the feed rate of the material going into the chipping chamber. If the

engine speed is below the predetermined level, the engine management unit will not allow the feed rollers

to work in the forward feed direction, until the rotor speed rises above the predetermined level. At this

point the feed rollers will start turning without warning. The reverse function will work at any speed.

There are three ways of stopping the TW 150FTR/VTR chipper in the event of an emergency.

STOPPING THE ROLLERS

-Activating the red safety bar will stop the rollers immediately. To restart the rollers, just push the

green forward button or blue reverse button.

-Pushing the red Emergency button on the roller control box will also stop the rollers immediately. The

button will stay in the “pushed in” position, and will require resetting (pulling out) before being able to

restart the roller functions.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Should the entire machine need to be stopped in an emergency, the red button on top of the engine

guard should be pushed. This will shut down the engine in the shortest possible time. The engine

cannot be restarted until the button is pulled out again to reset it.

EMERGENCY STOPPING

3015

WARNING

NEVER LEAVE CHIPPER ON A SLOPE UNATTENDED.

NOTE: Ensure low safety bar on

low funnel is rotated into the

‘stowed’ (up) position prior to

tracking to avoid damage to the bar.
