VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
• The variable speed control valve
controls the speed of the feed wheels.
Turn the valve clockwise to make the
feed wheels turn faster. Loosen the lock
washer on the end of the control knob
and adjust the wheels to the desired
speed and then retighten the washer.
LIFT CYLINDER CONTROL VALVE
• The Carlton drum chipper is 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 and top feed wheel
− Pull the valve handle out to lower the
lift cylinder and provide positive
down pressure on the top feed wheel.
COVERED AIR VENTS
• There are two covered air vents that can
be opened to allow air to circulate
around drum, one on each side of the
cutter drum. Remove the bolts to
remove the cover if the chipper starts to
lug down during chipping.
