Hansa C27EU O&M Manual 

– OM-023 Revision A 16/10/19 

© Hansa Chippers 2019 

 

 

 

Run the chipper in an enclosed area  

 

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which is poisonous, colourless, odourless, and tasteless 

 

Operate the chipper wearing loose clothing and untied long hair 

 

Stand at a higher level than the base of the chipper when feeding material into it 

 

Feed flax and cabbage tree leaves into the machine  

 

These stringy materials can wrap around the rotor shaft and work their way into the bearing.  

 

 

If any stringy material becomes wrapped around the rotor shaft, remove it before it works itself into the bearing.

  

 

Process old materials such as dried wooden branches 

 

They get very hard and springy when dried out 

 

They are more awkward to handle  

 

The knives dull much quicker 

 

Feed short, stubby pieces of wood into the chipper 

 

They bounce and spin in the inlet chute 

 

Feed short stubby pieces together with longer pieces 

 

Feed branches that are too large (max 160 mm branch diameter) 

 

The chipper engine will stall, which could result in damage to the engine or drive belts 

 

Put soil, sand, grit, stones or pieces of metal into the chipper 

 

This will damage the sharp edge of the cutting knives and can rebound and injure the operator 

 

Put root balls and dead wood into the chipper 

 

This dulls the knives quickly 

 

Overload the chipper  

 

If the cutting rotor is slowing down, feed the material in slower 

 

Transport the chipper while the engine is running 

 

Tamper with the engine governor settings on the chipper  

 

The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed and protects the engine and all moving parts from 
damage caused by overspeed 

 

Operate the chipper with blunt knives 

 

This causes excessive vibration which may result in damage to the chipper 

 

Remove any guards on the chipper unless the engine is turned off and the cutting rotor has come to a complete standstill 

 

Put hands or any other part of the body or clothing:  

 

Inside the feed chute past the rubber flap 

 

Inside or near the opening of the discharge chute 

 

Near any moving part 

 

Use the feed control bar as a handle to manoeuvre the machine 

Starting procedure 

 

Before proceeding, ensure the ‘safe 

setup proced

ure’ has been followed on page 6

 of this manual. 

 

 

DO NOT:

 

 

 

Ensure the rotor is disengaged by winding the 
engagement handle in the counter clock-wise direction 
until the handle comes to a stop (located next to the 
control panel).
