This section describes the 3 point hitch, PTO and hydraulic attachments. The WKR150 series is a category 1&2 , 3 point hitch.

For maximum life and safety, PTO connection should be as level as possible when the chipper is in the is in the down (working ) position.

When attaching the chipper to a tractor, follow this procedure:

Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.

Make sure there is enough room and clearance to safely back up to the chipper.

Place the tractor arms in their full sway position.

At the slowest speed possible, back the tractor towards the chipper with the tractor “square” to the chipper.

Engage the tractor park/lock brake, dismount the tractor and inspect the link and pin alignment (vertical and horizontal).

Raise or lower the lower link arms to align them to the pins on the chipper.

Return to tractor, make any necessary adjustments (up/down)

Slowly back up the tractor until the lower arm holes are lined up with the link pins.

Engage the tractor park/lock brake, dismount the tractor, make any final adjustments, and slide the left and right lower arm holes onto the link pins.

Install the retainers on the link pins.

Remove the top pin and install the top link.

Use the turnbuckle to align the top link. Insert the pins and install the retainers.

Return the turnbuckle to its original

CONTROLS

Please review this section to familiarize yourself with the location and function of each control before starting. Familiarizing yourself with the controls will enable you to take advantage of all the features available on the WKRR Series and apply them as conditions demand.

DISCHARGE CHUTE:

Models WKR150

The discharge chute is designed with a spring- loaded latch handle that allows the chute to be positioned 90° then locked into position with the latch.

Lift the latch handle until the chute lock pin disengages.

Use the latch and grip handles to position the chute as required.

Release the latch handle and lock the chute into position at the next nearest lock point.

FLOW CONTROL FOR FEED ROLLERS:

Models WKR150

Flow Control Valve:

Use the flow divider valve if the tractor hydraulics exceeds the chipper flow requirements.

The flow divider can also be used to set the speed of the feed hopper. Use the material size and the quality of the job required to establish the appropriate feed speed. Increase the speed when chipping brush or twigs. Decrease the speed when chipping hard, solid material or when the engine load is excessive.

The hydraulic feed circuit is equipped with a manually-set flow control. The operator can adjust the feeding speed appropriate for the operating conditions.

To adjust the feed:

Move the control lever to the desired position.

Tighten the thumb screw
