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

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS

DO NOT use chipper unless available light is

sufficient to see clearly.

DO NOT attempt to engage PTO without the

feed funnel, belt guard, guards and discharge unit

securely in place.

DO NOT operate the chipper unless properly

guarded.

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 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 tractor engine, remove ignition

key and disconnect the PTO shaft before making

any adjustments.

ALWAYS check machine has stopped rotating

and remove tractor ignition key before

maintenance of any kind, or whenever the

machine is to be left unattended.

ALWAYS check machine is securely coupled to

tractor pin hitch and on firm level ground.

ALWAYS run tractor engine at required speed to

acheive correct PTO speed.

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 use chipper in a well ventilated area -

exhaust fumes are dangerous.

SAFE TRANSPORTATION

THE PTO/100G chipper may be transported as a unit or with the feed funnel removed.

TAKE care when loading the PTO/100G as it is 268kg in weight.

STRAP the chipper down firmly before beginning a journey.

DELIVERY

All Timberwolf PTO/100G machines have a full pre - delivery inspection before leaving the factory and

are ready to use. Read and understand this instruction manual before attempting to operate the

chipper. In particular, read pages 5 -7 which contain important health and safety information and

advice.

OPERATOR’S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

HITCHING UP

The first time a tractor is fitted to the chipper the

correct length of tow beam needs to be set. The

length corresponds to the exact propeller shaft that is

to be used. Adjustment is made underneath the

chipper. Remove the M12 bolt from underneath the

chassis (1) and slide the bar until the desired length

is reached. Replace the bolt and tighten.

The PTO/100G is fitted with a pin type hitch. It is

suitable for use with a range of compact tractor with a

540rpm PTO output. The chipper tow head is fitted

onto the tractor coupling for use with a steel pin (1)

which is dropped through the hole. This should be

retained with an R clip (2) for security.

The front leg that keeps the chipper level and provides

support for the propeller shaft is movable. After

hitching to a tractor and fitting the prop shaft the bolt

(3) can be removed and the leg swung horizontal.

The bolt is then refitted in hole shown (4).

CHAINSAW safety helmet fitted with visor

and recommended ear defenders to an

appropriate specification.

HEAVY-DUTY gloves with elasticated wrist

area.

CLOSE - FITTING heavy-duty non-snag clothing.

SAFETY footwear.

FACE MASK (if appropriate).

See page 5 for more detailed information.

(not supplied)

ALWAYS ENSURE THE TRACTOR ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED

FROM IGNITION BEFORE PERMORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO CHIPPER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9

LOCATE the machine on firm level ground and correctly coupled to a tractor.

CHECK all guards are in place and PTO guard anti rotation chain is secured.

CHECK the discharge unit is pointing in a safe direction.

CHECK the feed funnel to ensure no objects are inside.

For parts location see diagrams on pages 3 & 4.

DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING

STARTING TO CHIP

WARNING

Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective guarding

and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may result in personal

injury or loss of life.

CHECK that the chipper is running smoothly at correct PTO speed.

STAND to one side of the feed funnel when loading material.

PROCEED to feed material into the feed funnel (note do's and dont's).

CHIPPING

Wood up to 100 mm in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Enter it into the funnel butt end first.

Release the material before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly

while being chipped.

The wood will be drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear.

A piece of wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this

happens it is possible to hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain

its speed again.

If a piece of wood gets stuck in the funnel and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need

to be removed. Trim the branch until it is a suitable shape for the chipper to accept.

CONNECTING PTO SHAFT

ALWAYS ENSURE THE TRACTOR IS TURNED OFF BEFORE FITTING OR REMOVING PROP SHAFT.

When fitting a PTO shaft it should always be remembered that 100 mm of overlap is required between

the two sections of the shaft. This is the minimum needed to ensure the shaft does not fail.

To connect the PTO shaft follow the instructions supplied with the shaft. The shaft should remain fitted

to the chipper at all times. It can be placed on the prop shaft support when the tractor is removed.
