MOUNTING OF THE DRAWBAR
•
Attach the drawbar to the outermost holes of the
chipper in order to use as long a PTO shaft as pos-
sible; this increases the shaft’s service life.
•
Mount the chipper on the tractor’s 3-point hitch. If
the tractor cannot lift the chipper up, or if the front
of the tractor becomes too light, move the draw-
bar to the inner holes.
•
Tighten the nuts (M20) to 340 Nm.
MOUNTING OF THE FEED UNIT
•
For hydraulic feed units, a fitting block is supplied
which is to be installed between the chipper and
the feed unit. Please make sure to install the ap-
propriate fitting block. The fitting block for the
feed unit HF231-HM has a height of approx. 180
mm, see fig. 6a. The fitting bock for the feed units
HF260-EM, HF260-EL and HFC260 has a height of
approx. 135 mm. See fig. 6b.
•
The fitting block is installed on the pins in the bot-
tom section of the feed opening. See figs. 6a and 6b.
•
Carefully install the fitting block. Make sure the tip
of the fitting block is seating tightly on the feed
opening. Make sure the working surface is clean.
Every time a knife is changed or at least every 100
operating hours, check the system for vibration
fatigue failure.
•
The instructions for mounting the feed unit are to
be found in the separate instruction manual of the
feed unit used.
•
The feed hopper F260 is mounted without fitting
block.
