12” CHIPPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be Safe and Practice Safe Operation using the following guidelines.

Any individual operating this chipper

must first read and understand this manual, the engine and other component manuals supplied with the chipper, and all safety and operational decals on machine.

• DO NOT permit children to operate machinery or to play near machinery during operation.

• DO NOT allow spectators to stand and watch chipper in operation.

• DO NOT allow people to pass by discharge zone while chipper is in operation.

• Keep hands, feet, legs, clothing, hair and all other body parts away from feed intake wheels, chipper knives, and other moving parts.

• Do not hang from, ride, sit, stand, lay, or climb anywhere on this chipper while it is in operation, running, or being transported.

• Do not move, position, or transport this chipper with the engine running.

• Keep away from pressurized leaks.

Never check for leaks using hand or finger, use cardboard or wood.

Pressurized fluid can penetrate the skin and cause injury or even death. Seek immediate medical attention if penetration occurs. Always wear eye protection.

• DO NOT operate any machinery while under the influence of alcohol or drugs

(prescription, over the counter, or otherwise).

• DO NOT modify or change any part without written approval from J. P.

Carlton Company.

• No one should ever reach, lean, or kick into the feed intake chute when the chipper or the engine is running. Feed wheels will pull in anything in the path of operation and will cause severe personal injury if a person is pulled into feed intake wheels.

• Always load shorter pieces of wood or brush on top of longer pieces or use push paddle, never reach into the feed intake chute to load these pieces.

• Stay clear of discharge zone when running chipper. Never allow anyone to stand near or to walk close to the discharge zone, even if being discharged into a bin or truck.

• Airborne debris may cause severe injury. If inspection of chipped material is required, shut down the chipper and the engine first.

• Discharge spout should not be pointed toward people, buildings, or other personal property that may be injured or damaged. Airborne debris is as dangerous as any powerful projectile.

• Never position, adjust, or move the discharge chute while the chipper or the cutter disk are running

6

12” CHIPPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Always have at least 2 operators at the job site running the chipper. One to load the brush into the feed wheels and the other to maintain the feed control bar in case of an accident.

• Always feed trees and brush butt end first and walking to the right side of the chipper, material being fed should be to the operator’s left side. The material being fed tends to kick to the left and could injure anyone on that side.

• Never lean over material being loaded into the feed wheels; especially small diameter, short length material that is still long enough to be fed into the feed wheels alone. The material is not heavy enough to hold down when the feed wheels first grab it and will kick up hitting the operator in the chin or head causing injury. type material. SEVERE INJURY

COULD OCCUR.

• Always cut vine type material into shorter, easier to handle pieces, approximately 4 to 5 feet.

• Don’t feed the vines into the chipper unless they have been cut!!!

• STOP automatic feed system and run vine type material through using manual start/stop controls and a wooden push paddle.

• Never lay vine type material in front of feed intake chute.

• Never allow yourself or your clothing to become tangled in or tripped by vine

CUTTER DISK

HOOD

• KEEP CUTTER DISK HOOD

CLOSED WHILE CHIPPER IS

RUNNING. Always make sure the cutter disk hood latch pin is in place and locked securely using a padlock before starting chipper. The cutter disk hood must be locked using the factory issued lock pin and padlock.

• Never open the cutter disk hood while engine is running. After the engine is turned off, allow the cutter disk to come to a complete stop before opening the cutter disk hood. This will take several minutes

• Never run the chipper or the engine with the cutter disk hood open or unlocked at any time or for any reason.

• If the cutter disk hood or hinge is damaged, replace immediately.

• Always have the trees and brush cut to size for the chipper before the chipper arrives at the job site.

• It is very dangerous to run a chain saw and the chipper at the same time.

• If a tree gets jammed and has to be trimmed, shut down the chipper first.

12” CHIPPER DAILY CHECKLIST

• Inspect knife bolts and nuts for tightness daily. It is very important to check knife bolts and nuts after first hour of operation for new bolts and nuts. It is not uncommon for bolts to loosen slightly during this time. The 12” chipper knife bolts and nuts (5/8”-11) are specially designed. Torque to 180 ft. lbs.

• Inspect cutter disk knives for wear. Do not operate the machine without a full set of undamaged knives in place. Worn or chipped knives will cause improper operation of the chipper. (See Servicing

Cutter Disk Section to change or sharpen knives and anvil.)

CHIPPED KNIFE

• Cutter disk must rotate freely. This will help insure there are no foreign objects inside the cutting chamber and there is ample knife to anvil clearance. (The cutter disk lock pin will have to be pulled out of cutter disk to check rotation. Replace pin after checking rotation to perform further inspections.)

• When inspection of cutter disk is complete, close cutter disk hood, insert hood lock pin and padlock. Make sure hood will not open. Check cutter disk hood hinges for damage and fit, replace immediately if there is any damage or misalignment.

• The Auto-Feed Plus

®

monitors the engine RPM and controls the feed system based on this information. The

Auto-Feed is calibrated when installed in the chipper with a high and low RPM setting for the feed wheels to operate.

When the engine RPM is low and the

Auto-Feed is on, the hydraulics will not work. If large diameter wood is being chipped and the engine RPM drops below the Auto-Feed Low setting, the

Auto-Feed will stop the feed wheels.

After the engine RPM is high enough to handle the force required to chip this material without causing the engine to lug down, the Auto-Feed restarts the feed wheels.

• The Auto-Feed Plus

® control is calibrated to automatically come on when the chipper is started. If you need to turn on the Auto-Feed Plus ® control, press and hold the right button down for

4 seconds and release.

• The Auto-Feed must be turned off to operate the hydraulics at low engine

RPM or idle. When the Auto-Feed is on the hydraulics only work when the

• engine RPM is high. To operate the feed wheels at low engine RPM, turn off the

Auto-Feed by pressing and holding the left button for 4 seconds and release.

• Read the Auto-Feed Plus

®

manual supplied at the end of this manual if programming is required.

12” CHIPPER MACHINE OPERATION

INCREASE THROTTLE

• Once the clutch has been fully engaged the engine can be run at full speed. Push the throttle up to increase engine speed.

• The engine should always be run at high

RPM while material is being chipped.

This will help keep the discharge chute from clogging. High engine speed increases the throwing power.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• All personnel must be wearing protective equipment: eye and ear protection; hard hat; short fitted gloves without cuffs; long sleeve shirt; long pants without cuffs; and over the ankle work boots with skid resistant soles.

FEED MATERIAL

• You are now ready to start feeding material into the chipper.

Always have at least two operators at

the job site. One to load the trees and brush into the chipper and one to always stand and operate the feed control bar. It is imperative to have someone operate the feed control bar in case of an accident where someone is pulled into the feed wheels.

• Always have the trees and brush cut to size for the chipper before the chipper arrives at the job site.

• It is very dangerous to run a chain saw and the chipper at the same time.

• If a tree gets jammed and has to be trimmed, shut down the chipper.

• Always feed trees and brush walking to the right side of the chipper, material being fed should be to the operators’ left side. When the material is being fed into the feed wheels it tends to kick to the left and an operator could be injured if loading the material from the left side.

ALWAYS FEED MATERIAL FROM THE RIGHT SIDE

AND BUTT END FIRST

39

12” CHIPPER MACHINE OPERATION

• Start feeding smaller diameter trees and brush first and work your way up to the full capacity of the chipper, which is 12” diameter material. Feed pieces long enough for the feed wheels to pick up without endangering yourself by reaching into the infeed chute. No one

should ever reach or kick into the infeed chute for any reason when the feed wheels or engine are running.

Feed shorter pieces of brush and limbs on top of longer material.

• Pay close attention to feeding the small diameter material that is long enough, 6’ or shorter, to be fed into the feed wheels but doesn’t have enough weight to be held down when the wheels first grab onto it. This material could kick straight up and hit the operator causing injury.

Hold the material away from the body using both hands and never lean over the material in case the feed wheels cause it to kick up. Use the hydraulic lift cylinder to open the feed wheels when feeding this type of material.

• Do not hold onto or try to force the material through the chipper. Once the material has been grabbed by the feed wheels and is being chipped, release it and let the chipper do its job. When the chipper feed wheels are feeding the material, turn away from the material and walk away to get more material.

40

12” CHIPPER MACHINE OPERATION

• The Carlton chipper may come equipped with a hydraulic yoke lift, which allows the operator to hydraulically lift the top feed wheel. This can be of assistance when feeding large square cut butt ends, which the feed wheels cannot ride up easily. The lift cylinders can also be used to provide positive down pressure on material being fed. This is useful when feeding extremely bushy material or material which the feed wheel cannot grab.

• The Lift cylinder control valve is located on the right rear of the infeed chute.

Push the valve in to raise the lift cylinder also raising the top feed wheel

Pull the valve handle out to lower the lift cylinder and provide positive down pressure on the top feed wheel.

• Keep an eye on the surrounding area and don’t allow anyone to come up too close to the chipper or to be in the chip discharge area. Maintain a clear area of at least 100 ft. in every direction around the chipper.

Do not lean, reach, or kick past the

safety zone when feeding material.

SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES

• With engine RPM still high, push the feed control bar to the middle (off) position. Feed wheels should not be turning.

• Push the throttle down into the low position so that the engine can slow down (idle) and the clutch can be disengaged.

• Once the engine has had time to slow down below 1200 RPM, disengage the clutch by pulling back on the clutch engagement handle. NEVER ENGAGE

OR DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH AT

ENGINE SPEEDS OVER 1200 RPM.

CAUTION: Chipper disk will continue to spin even though it is disengaged!

• Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes.

This allows the engine to cool.

• When the clutch has been fully disengaged and the engine has had time to cool down, you can turn the ignition key to the off position.

• Allow the cutter disk and belts to come to a complete stop, which will take several minutes.

Remove the ignition key.

45

12” CHIPPER MACHINE OPERATION

• The chipper infeed tray must be closed and locked when towing. Make sure the spring lock pin is in position and the tray is secured. First the lock pins behind the infeed chute frame will have to removed and put back into their storage position.

Make sure there is no other obstruction, such as limbs, bark, or leaves, in between the infeed chute and the tray.

BOTH SIDES OF INFEED CHUTE

• Secure the discharge chute. Rotate the discharge chute back over the chipper and lock the swivel releasing the lock pin into one of the lock grooves. Make sure the height adjustment is at the lowest position so that the chute will not be high enough to hit any overhead obstructions and secure the handle. The flap on the end of the discharge chute needs to be lowered as far as possible so that no debris comes out during travel.

ROTATE CHUTE

Remove the wheel chocks before moving the chipper.

ENGINE

• The air filters, the radiator screens and fans, and the oil and fuel filters are extremely important in chipper operation. (For all other engine maintenance follow the engine manufacturer’s manual.)

AIR FILTERS – MAIN & SAFETY

• Inspect the main and safety air filters daily.

• Do not tap or hit the main air filter to clean it. Do not wash the main air filter.

Follow the engine manual for cleaning the main air filter. Replace the air filter when it cannot be cleaned or after cleaning six times or if damaged.

Never run the engine without the air filter installed or with a damaged air filter.

Replace air filters if there is damage to the pleats, gaskets, or seals. The air filter is used to prevent airborne debris from getting into the engine. If dirt is allowed to get into the engine it will greatly reduce engine life and/or cause damage.

Never service the air cleaner with the engine running.

NOTICE

47

12” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE

• Do not clean the safety filter. Replace the safety filter if dirty or when the main air filter has been cleaned 3 times.

• When cleaning or changing the air filters, place tape over the air inlet hole to reduce the chance of any dirt getting inside the engine. Use a clean dry cloth to wipe down the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover.

• Check the general condition of the air cleaner housing and components. Make sure there are no dents, cracks, or other damage to these parts that could allow unfiltered air to enter the engine.

RADIATOR SCREEN & FAN

• Inspect the radiator for dirt, insects, leaves, oil, and other debris that can clog the radiator screen and fins. The radiator screen and fins should be cleaned using pressurized air from the backside of the radiator. For further cleaning instructions refer to the engine owner’s manual.

• Inspect for damaged or bent fins, fan blades, and for corrosion. Inspect the welds, mounting brackets, connections, clamps, air hoses, and seals for damage or breakage. Repair or replace any damaged parts.

OIL & OIL FILTER

• Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation or 3 months. Follow the engine manufacturer owner’s manual for changing the oil & filter. Only use engine manufacturer recommended oil filter. Some engine manufacturers require special break-in oil to be run for a certain period of time. Refer to engine manual supplied with your chipper.

DIESEL FUEL

• Check fuel level daily and replenish as necessary. DO NOT fill tank more than

7/8 full to allow fuel to expand when temperatures are high.

12” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE

HITCH

• Make sure the bolts on the chipper hitch are tightened. If not, tighten to the specified torque for the bolts size. Also, make sure the hitch bolts on the tow vehicle are tightened properly.

• Check the bolts and nuts for wear. If bolt or nut threads are chipped or worn down, or if the bolts and nuts won’t stay tight after tightening them, the bolts and nuts need to be replaced. Check the bolt holes for wear also. If the holes are stretched or distorted, the hitch will need to be replaced.

• Keep the Pintle ring on the chipper greased. This will keep the wear between the two metal surfaces down to a minimum and will make your hitch last longer.

• If the Pintle ring is worn and does not fit the hitch on the tow vehicle properly, replace it as soon as possible. The loose fit between the two surfaces may cause the chipper to swerve in traffic and possibly even come uncoupled from the tow vehicle. Also check the hitch on the tow vehicle for wear for the same reasons.

LIGHTS WIRING

• Check lighting wire connections for damage, and loose or broken wires.

• Make sure the lights are working properly at all times when towing.

• See the Machine Wiring section of this manual for wiring diagram.

51

12” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE

BREAKAWAY SWITCH

• Check to make sure the breakaway switch is working properly. This switch activates the brakes if the chipper ever becomes uncoupled from the tow vehicle. When the switch separates, power is sent to the brakes. Check the wiring for any loose or broken wires.

Replace or rewire if necessary.

JACK STAND – FRONT

• Check the lock pins to make sure they are fitting properly and in good shape.

Replace any pins that are worn, bent or damaged in any way.

• Check general condition of the jack stand. Make sure the holes are not worn or elongated. Check the bottom of the jack to make sure it will sit level on level ground. Replace the jack stand if it is warped, has unusual wear, or if it won’t hold position when supporting the chipper.

• Grease the jack stand as necessary.

JACK STAND – REAR

• Check the lock pins to make sure they are fitting properly and in good shape.

Replace any pins that are worn, bent or damaged in any way.

• Check general condition of the jack stand. Make sure the holes are not worn or elongated. Check the bottom of the jack to make sure it will sit level on level ground. Replace the jack stand if it is warped, has unusual wear, or if it won’t hold position when supporting the chipper.

• Grease the jack stand as necessary.

52

12” CHIPPER MACHINE MAINTENANCE

TIRES AND AXLES

• Check tire air pressure daily. Inflate tires as necessary. Keep tire air pressure adjusted based on the temperature and the load.

• When towing, make sure the chipper is sitting as close to level as possible to ensure proper tire wear and axle alignment.

• Check lug nuts for proper tightness.

Tighten when necessary. Replace lug nuts if the threads are worn, chipped, or missing.

• Check tire rims for damage that could cause improper air pressure. If rims are damaged beyond repair, replace.

• See Dexter information for E-Z Lube

® or Nev-R-Lube

HYDRAULICS

• Check hydraulic oil level daily. This

Carlton chipper is equipped with a gauge that shows the level of oil and the temperature of the oil. When filling the tank with oil, the window of the gauge will also fill with oil as the level gets higher in the tank. Never fill the oil tank above the

BLACK line at the top of the gauge. Do not run the machine with the oil level below the

RED line at the bottom of the gauge.

• On a new chipper, change the hydraulic oil filter when the chipper has been operating for 10 hours. Replace with the same type of in-tank filter element supplied originally, available through Carlton or Carlton dealers.

From this point on, change the filter every

200 hours of operation.

• Change hydraulic oil every 500 hours of operation or at least once a year depending on use. Flush the hydraulic tank when changing the hydraulic oil. Replace oil if it has a burnt odor or if it is contaminated.

Replace oil if the chipper has been stored for a long period of time (all winter).

• Drain the hydraulic tank using the drain plug located on the bottom of the tank. Dispose of used oil according to state regulations.

HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER

• There is a hydraulic oil cooler on this

Carlton chipper to keep the hydraulic oil from over heating. When the cooler is mounted as shown, the engine radiator fan cools the oil. If mounted under the engine, there is a fan on the cooler that comes on if the oil temperature rises to 140° or higher.

The fan may go on and off as the temperature of the oil changes depending on the environment and the chipper operation.

Release Bearing – using a hand-operated grease gun, add 1 or 2 pumps of grease per 8 to 10 hours of operation (or add grease until grease begins to weep from the ID of the bearing and from the release sleeve and the shaft). Rotate the shaft manually (by hand) while adding grease. DO NOT OVER GREASE!

2. Main Bearings – grease every 100 hours of operation. Add grease until grease is forced out of the labyrinth seal(s) around the shaft. Manually (not by starting the engine) rotate the shaft while adding grease.

3. PTO cross shaft (engagement linkage) – grease every 500 hours of operation.

Add 1 or 2 pumps of grease using a hand operated grease gun.

PTO/CLUTCH

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

The clutch in this machine does not automatically adjust to compensate for wear of the clutch facing(s) and therefore must be manually adjusted. Maintaining the

correct engagement pressure is the responsibility of the owner/operator. The owner/operator must periodically adjust the clutch to ensure correct clutch operation. The clutch requires frequent adjustments when parts are new to

prevent slipping, overheating, and failure.

MEASURING ENGAGEMENT FORCE

The clutch should be adjusted if the force required for engaging the clutch drops by 10 to 15 percent of the specified force.

Destructive damage may have already occurred if engagement force is allowed to diminish to the point where the clutch fails to carry the load (slippage) or facing(s) have overheated.

NOTE:

• New clutches or new facings usually require several frequent adjustments until the friction facing surfaces have

“worn in”. The clutch friction facing plates will become glazed and possibly permanently damaged if the clutch is permitted to slip excessively.

• If the facings have been slipped excessively, and enough heat was generated that the facings began to smoke, the clutch material may have been destroyed. Excessive heat normally destroys the friction material. Therefore, further clutch adjustment will not remedy the slippage problems. Replace “burned” facing plates.

CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT

67

12” CHIPPER TWIN DISC, INC.

PTO/CLUTCH

The preferred method of checking the force required to engage the clutch is using a torque wrench to check the foot-pounds required to engage the clutch. The torque wrench should be used at the cross shaft to measure engagement force. For the clutch used in this machine, the reading should be between 108-115 ft-lbs. The clutch should

ENGAGE within this torque reading range.

An adapter, Twin Disc, Inc. part number

02036484, may be obtained to provide a

1 1/2" hex nut at the end of the cross shaft.

The adapter may be used in place of the standard handle for the purpose of checking clutch adjustment with a torque wrench or it may be installed on the end of the cross shaft. (Most PTOs have serrations on both ends of the cross shaft.) Another method for checking engagement force is the spring scale method, which is covered in the

PTO/Clutch manual.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

If the clutch requires adjustment, remove the

PTO nameplate and disengage the clutch.

Push the adjustment lock pin in and rotate the adjustment ring. Rotate the adjusting ring clockwise to tighten the clutch.

(Rotating the adjusting ring counterclockwise will further loosen the clutch.)

Check with the torque wrench, as described earlier, and continue to adjust until the handle engagement force is within the range of 108-115 ft-lbs. When clutch is properly adjusted, replace the PTO nameplate.

INSPECT/CHANGE KNIVES

• Cutter disk knives need to be kept sharp and free of chips to keep the chipper running smoothly. Visually inspect knives daily for dull edges, chips, and other damage. Dull or chipped knives do not cut well adding stress to the engine and requiring more power to cut through the wood. This can cause heat to build up and cause knife failure.

• Check the knives if the wood chips are too large, if the material will not feed properly, or if the engine lugs down.

Always wear leather gloves when

handling knives. Edges are extremely sharp and could cause severe injury.

DANGER: Make sure the ignition key has been removed and machine can’t be started before servicing any part of the chipper.

DANGER: Do not open the cutter disk hood until the cutter disk has come to a complete stop. Do not perform service on the cutter disk or knives without installing the disk lock pin.

• Remove the padlock and lock pin from the cutter disk hood and open.

• The cutter disk lock pin will have to be removed to rotate the cutter disk and inspect the knives. Use extra care when rotating the cutter disk to prevent injury.

Always wear leather gloves when performing any service on the cutter

disk system.

DANGER – KNIVES ARE

EXTREMELY SHARP

• Inspect knives. If knives are still in good shape, proceed with other inspections or maintenance. To change knives, follow these procedures.

• Install the cutter disk lock pin. Rotate the cutter disk slowly to line up and insert the pin.

• Remove the three bolts and nuts holding each knife in place on the cutter disk.

Two knives are lined up together in two opposing pockets.

• Inspect the bolts and nuts carefully for worn, chipped, or stripped threads.

• Do not remove and replace knife bolts and nuts more than 3 times before replacing with new bolts and nuts.

Knife bolts are of a particular design

and nuts are security lock nuts. DO

NOT USE ANY OTHER STYLE OF

BOLTS AND NUTS. You must purchase these bolts and nuts from

Carlton or an authorized dealer.

• After knives have been removed, clean the pocket to remove any debris that may keep the knife from seating properly.

DANGER – KNIVES ARE

EXTREMELY SHARP

• Inspect both edges of knives; wear

leather gloves while handling knives.

If knives still have one good edge, rotate each knife and reassemble. Make sure all knife edges line up in the set of four.

• Inspect knife bolt holes for cracks or distortion, replace knives if any problems are found.

• If both edges are worn or chipped, have knives ground to sharpen.

Never use knives that are below 2" from center of hole to outside edge of knife.

Keep sets of knives together that are ground to the same distance from center of hole to outside edge. This will keep the cutter disk balanced reducing chipper vibration and improving cutting. A set is four knives, two knives in each of two opposing pockets.

ONLY have knives sharpened by an

authorized dealer using the proper

equipment.

Improper sharpening may affect

knives hardness resulting in knife

failure.

• If knives are too narrow to grind, replace with a complete set of new knives.

• Knives are hardened steel made to

Carton’s specifications. Use only

Carlton chipper knives as replacements.

• Reassemble knives in the pocket making sure they seat flat.

• Tighten knife bolts and torque the nuts to 180 ft. lbs.

• Do not over tighten knife bolts. Torque only to the recommended amount.

Knives that are overly tight can crack or bow around the hole. This could cause chipped material to pack between the knife and cutter disk causing knife failure. Check knife for distortion using a straight edge and a light, replace the knife if distorted.

• Check the clearance between the knives and the anvil. The clearance for the knife to anvil should be between .045” and .065” (1.14 – 1.65 mm). Use a feeler gage that measures within that range. The gage should fit easily between the knife and the anvil without force and without too much free space on either side. Check clearance at the top and bottom of each knife assembly.

CHECKING CLEARANCE AT BOTTOM

FEELER

GAGE

• One person will need to be in the infeed chute area to check the clearance between the anvil and the knives. While another person is outside to make the adjustments and to turn the cutter disk.

The disk will have to be rotated fully to check both knife settings.

This is one time that the cutter disk

lock pin will not be in position so extreme care needs to be taken for safety. Before allowing anyone to be in the infeed chute, make sure there is no obstruction or binding in the cutter disk by turning it by hand from the outside first. If the cutter disk does not turn freely, find and remove the

obstruction and then proceed.

UPPER FEED WHEEL MUST BE

• Loosen the nuts on the adjustment bolts that are on the far side of the plate (as shown). There are two adjustment bolts.

• Using the nuts on the inside of the plate, turn the nuts up toward the machine to move the anvil closer to the knife. This will shorten the clearance if it was too wide. Make slight adjustments as the clearance is being checked.

• Or, you will need to loosen the nuts on the inside of the plate and turn the outside nuts down if the clearance is too narrow for the feeler gage to go in easily. This will move the anvil farther away from the knife.

• After the clearance has been set, tighten the anvil bolts (3/4”-10) and torque to

175 ft. lbs.

• Retighten the nuts on the adjustment bolts that were loosened earlier.

• Recheck the anvil/knife clearance to make sure nothing changed when tightening the bolts.

• Checking and setting the clearance by the knife that is the closest to the anvil will be the best place to start.

• Clearance should be .045” - .065” (1.14

– 1.65 mm).

SHARPEN KNIVES

• Have knives ground by a qualified grinder.

• Grind knives at 29° to 31°.

• Before and after grinding the knife-edge, check the width of the knife from the center of the hole to the sharp edge of the knife. Never use a knife with this measurement below 2”.

Three factors for a good cutting

system are:

1. Never use a knife with the distance from the cutting edge to the center of the bolt hole less than 2”.

2. Always use knives in sets of four with the dimension from the cutting edge to the center of the bolt hole as close as possible to each other.

3. Never use a knife if the back edge is inside the knife pocket edge.

Tighten each bolt a little at a time to pull the coupling into place as straight as possible.

Try not to pull one side on faster than the other or damage may occur to the bushing and the coupling. When bolts are screwed in all the way, torque the bolts to 35 ft. lbs.

Replace the rubber guard and bolt into place using the two 3/8” bolts that were removed.

Tighten the bolts.

Reconnect the hydraulic hoses making sure to connect them in the right order, see markings made when hoses were removed.

If hoses are reversed, the feed wheels will work in reverse. Change hoses if this happens to make feed wheels turn correctly.

2. Operating

After turning on the monitor, a 2 seconds test is automatically carried out: all display segments are on; after such a test, working hours are displayed for about 3 seconds, then engine RPMs are displayed and the other display indicators show the working status: a b

RPM h

Reverse Auto-Feed

Picture A

a) if ON, engined RPMs are displayed; b) if ON, working hours are displayed; c) if ON, reverse phase is currenlty ongoing (emergency condition) d) if ON, “auto-feed” procedure is currently ongoing (emergency condition).

During standard operation the monitor detects engine RPMs. In case they go below the minimum programmed value, the monitor enables one of the emergency procedures listed below. All emergency procedures are back off, after the RPMs are restored over the maximum programmed value. The monitor is now back in standard working condition.

Emergency procedures are different depending on the "type" parameter programmed.

3. Emergency procedure “type 0”

This procedure is applied on those machines only where the ACTIVATION of the solenoid valves allows to protect the engine against excessive stress.

During operation, working hours can always be displayed by switching for a BRIEF

INTERVAL key (+) or (-). The display shows now the ref. indicator “b” on page 7 and working hours are displayed for 3 seconds. During this interval the EVS solenoid valve is energized or de-energized by the monitor (according to what programmed in

“type” parameter) only if the “auto-feed” function has been enabled (see chapter 5.3), whereas the EVR solenoid valve is never energized.

5. Range of parameters displayed

Description Range

Engine RPMe 0 ÷ 9990 steps of 10 RPMs

Working hours

0.0 ÷ 999.9 hours, steps of 0.1 hour ( 6 minutes ); once 999.9 are reached, then steps of 1 hour until 9999 hours.

Working hours increase only if RPMs > 500.

6. Setting

The device has two setting phases: “user” setting and "manufacturer" setting. Both programming phases can be carried out with the engine operating (RPMs > 500). The operator shall complete the procedure for each phase by confirming all parameters at a time to allow all modified parameters are stored. Otherwise, if the operator is within one programming phase and no key is selected for an interval of 7 seconds, the monitor quits the phase WITHOUT storing any executed changes.

The “user” phase permits programming of the following parameters:

• Minimum value for RPMs

• Maximum value for RPMs

• Machine type selection (with or without reverse)

• Reverse time (not used if the reverse valve is not present).

The “manufacturer” setting allows programming of the following parameter:

• Pulses/revolution for engine RPMs counting (Set By Factory)

NOTES: the parameter value is kept displayed during each programming phase; the parameter name is displayed only while going from one parameter to the next one or when keys + (plus) and (-) minus are simultaneously pressed.

For safety purposes, the EVS solenoid valve is energized or de-energized (according to what programmed in “type” parameter) by the monitor each time a programming phase is entered only if the “auto-feed” function has been enabled (see par. 5.3), whereas the EVR solenoid valve is never energized.

7. “User” setting

To enter the “user” programming phase, with the monitor ON keep key PROG pressed for at least 2 seconds and until the first parameter "HI" (i.e. RPMs minimum permitted value) is displayed. After an interval of 1 second the current programmed value is displayed (es. 4800RPM).

How to activate and de-activate the “auto-feed” function

The device has a further programming phase, meant for activating and de-activating the “auto-feed” function. This function includes the emergency procedures previously described.

NOTE: when the “auto-feed” function is de-activated, the monitor features exclusively revolution counter function and hours counter function; the reverse solenoid valve EVR is always de-energized and the EVS safety valve can be deenergized (if “type 0” operation type is selected) or energized (if “type 1” operation type is selected). The monitor is supplied as a standard with the “auto-feed” function enabled; in fact, when the monitor is switched-on with engine off (RPM =0), the ref. indicator "d" picture "A" pag. 7 is on.

Press key (-) minus for at least 3 seconds to de-activate the “auto-feed” function and until the sequence below is displayed:

RPM RPM h h h

Reverse Auto-Feed Reverse Auto-Feed Reverse Auto-Feed

0.5 sec 0.5 sec 0.5 sec

Once the sequence has been completed, engine RPMs are displayed but the ref. indicator "d" picture "A" page 7 is off; to activate again the “auto-feed” function press key (+) plus for at least 3 seconds until the sequence below is displayed:

RPM RPM RPM h h h

Axles equipped with Dexter's E-Z Lube feature can be periodically lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that have been specially drilled and assembled with grease fittings in their ends. When grease is pumped into the fitting, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole.

1. Remove the rubber plug from the end of the grease cap.

2. Place a standard grease gun onto the grease fitting located in the end of the spindle. Make sure the grease gun nozzle is fully engaged on the fitting.

3. Pump grease into the grease fitting. The old, displaced grease will begin to flow back out the cap around the grease gun nozzle.

4. When the new, clean grease is observed, remove the grease gun, wipe off any excess, and replace the rubber plug in the cap.

The E-Z Lube feature is designed to allow immersion in water. Axles not equipped with E-Z

Lube are not designed for immersion and bearings should be repacked after each immersion. If hubs are removed from an axle with an E-Z Lube feature, it is imperative that the seals be replaced before bearing lubrication. Otherwise, the chance of grease getting on brake linings is greatly increased.

NOTE: The convenient lubrication provisions of the E-Z Lube must not replace periodic inspection of the bearings.

CAUTION

Do not mix Lithium, calcium, sodium or barium complex greases due to possible compatibility problems. When changing from one type of grease to another, it is necessary to insure all the old grease has been removed.

If your axles are equipped with oil-lubricated hubs, then your lubrication procedure is to periodically fill the hub with high quality hypoid gear oil to the level indicated on the clear plastic oil cap. The oil can be filled through the rubber plug hole in the cap.
