This series of highly efficient wood chippers have been designed with safety protection, reliability
and long operating life in mind. Main body parts are all made from high quality steel, blades are
made from high speed steel HSS, sharp cutting edges from hardened steel for durability and effi-
ciency.
The machine consists of main body 1, Feed hopper 9, discharge chute 10, wheels 2, front leg 4,
please see diagram. The chipping cylinder, belt drive and engine are all mounted to the main body.
Operating instructions and warnings
Please read carefully and understand the engine instruction manual before use.
The engine is shipped from factory without lubricant and fuel.
The HYCH1500E-2 requires 1.1L of 10w30 or 15w40 engine oil and the HYCH7070[E]-2 requires
0.6L of 10w30 or 15w40 engine oil.
On initial start-up, run the machine for 5 minutes without feeding any wood into it to warm the
engine up and allow the belts to bed in. Do not overload the machine by forcing too much or too
large diameter wood into the hopper.
Keep minors away from the machine.
Do not put hands or other body parts into hopper.
Do not get close to the discharge chute, the chips are expelled from discharge chute at high speed
and may cause injury.
If the machine produces abnormal vibration or unusual noises, immediately turn the machine off
and check it.
If the machine is failing to cut properly the blades may need to sharpened or adjusted, the blade
clearance should be 1-2mm.
Choice of chipping material: Fresh cut tree branches can be chipped directly. Due to different
hardness and moisture content, the engine may slow midway or the machine body may shake
during chipping, if this happens, reduce the amount of wood being fed into the hopper. The
recommended maximum chipping capacity is for soft wood, for hardwood the maximum chipping
diameter should be reduced by 30%. The ideal chipping for this machine is suitable for fresh cut
with 80% moisture content plant. During the chipping process, you should obey the rule: largest
diameter first followed by the smaller branches. In order to get good chipping, it’s better to put
branches and leaves together. Leaves and thin vegetation may not chip well. Do not feed in large
diameter logs.
Maintenance instructions
This series of machine requires regular greasing of the main cutting shaft bearings. See section 7.
