12” CHIPPER TOWING GUIDE

• The chipper infeed tray must be closed and

locked when towing.

• First, check the lock pins behind the infeed

chute frame to make sure they are in their

storage position.

• Then close the tray and make sure the

spring lock pin is in position and the tray is

secured.

• Make sure the discharge chute is over the

chipper for towing. Use the swivel handle

to turn the discharge chute over the chipper

with the end of the chute facing the front

of the chipper. Use the height adjustment

handle to return the discharge chute back

to the lowest height for towing; don’t take

any chances with over head obstructions

hitting the discharge chute. Position the

discharge flap in its lowest position so

debris will not fly out of the discharge

chute.

• Make sure the chock blocks have been removed before towing the chipper.

• Towing will affect handling, allow for extra stopping distances.

• Start and stop gradually.

• Tow at a safe, reasonable speed. Obey posted speed limits.

• Slow down over rough terrain.
