The machine weighs 1873 kilos, with a fuel capacity of 51 litres and a hydraulic oil capacity of 44 litres.
Diagrams are provided to locate key components such as the feed funnel, discharge tube, safety bar, hydraulic oil tank, and engine controls.
Operators must maintain a 10-metre safety exclusion zone and wear protective equipment. The manual outlines safety do's and don'ts, emphasizing the importance of proper guards and machine support.
Daily checks include securing guards, checking fluid levels, and ensuring safe discharge tube direction. The chipper has manual and auto controls for feed rollers, with emergency stopping procedures outlined.
A service schedule includes maintenance practices, hydraulic oil changes, battery maintenance, and blade changes. Regular checks on hoses, belts, and fittings are necessary for optimal performance.
The document includes a warranty statement and an EC Declaration of Conformity Certificate, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.
Sections on electrical details, hydraulic layout, and circuit diagrams are included for technical reference, along with a comprehensive parts list.

- Always wear personal protective equipment.
- Ensure the bucket is closed with discharge pointing away from the driving position.
- Do not start the chipper without protective guarding and discharge unit securely in place.
- Start the engine with the throttle in slow position, insert the key, and wait for the heater LED to go out before engaging the starter motor.
- Feed wood up to 190 mm in diameter into the funnel, ensuring feed rollers function correctly.
- In case of blockages, stop the engine, remove keys, and clear the rotor housing before restarting.
- Regular checks include water, engine oil, fuel level, and ensuring all covers and units are securely fitted.
- Service schedule includes daily checks, and more extensive checks at 50, 100, and 500 hours, or annually.
- Only genuine Timberwolf parts should be used to avoid warranty invalidation.
- Handle blades with caution and use lifting equipment for heavy components.
- Dispose of used oil and filters ecologically.
- Follow safety regulations for handling lead-acid batteries, including wearing eye protection and avoiding sparks.
Product Name: Copper Ease. It contains no hazardous ingredients above regulatory limits but requires safety precautions during handling. Use oil-resistant gloves and safety glasses. Store in a cool, ventilated area away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents, and acids. Dispose of as industrial waste, adhering to regional regulations. In case of fire, use alcohol or polymer foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical powder for extinguishing. Wear protective gear to prevent skin and eye contact.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water if irritation occurs.
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for 15 minutes if irritation occurs.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting.
For transport, store batteries upright to prevent acid leakage. Use a FIFO system for storage. During installation, disconnect the negative terminal first and avoid short circuits. Ensure proper ventilation during charging and use suitable chargers. Maintain cleanliness and check charge regularly.
Battery Removal and Maintenance: Follow specific steps for removing and maintaining batteries, ensuring safety and proper handling.
Blade Changing: Follow detailed steps for changing blades, ensuring safety and using appropriate tools and parts.
Belt Tensioning: Regularly check and adjust belt tension to prevent failures. Follow specific instructions for tensioning drive and hydraulic pump belts.
Greasing and Maintenance: Regularly grease roller box slides, discharge flange, and rotor bearings to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation.
Regularly check and adjust track tension using grease in the adjuster unit. Follow safety precautions to prevent injury during maintenance.
Ensure all components are in good condition, check for leaks, and use recommended lubricants. Regularly inspect and tighten fasteners using a calibrated torque wrench.
To adjust the track tension, locate the access hole in the side frame. Loosen the track by turning the grease nipple counter-clockwise. If grease does not expel, rotate the track to free the adjuster mechanism. Once the correct tension is achieved, tighten the valve and clean any extruded grease. To tighten the track, use a grease gun to add grease until the tension is within specified values.
Inspect the rubber tracks for damage such as breakages of steel cables and metal cores, fatigue cracks, and abrasions. Excess tension, improper contact, and operation on rough terrain can cause damage. Tracks should be replaced if wear exposes the metal cores over more than half the circumference.
Ensure the hydraulic cylinder is free of grease before installation. Mesh track links with the sprocket and position the track on the stretching wheel. Rotate the driving gear to pull the track into place. Adjust tension as needed. For removal, ensure the machine is safely lifted, and follow the procedure to loosen the track and remove it from the stretching wheel.
Regularly measure wear on sprocket and driving gear teeth, focusing on the point of greatest wear. Replace the sprocket if the meshing distance is significantly reduced.
The warranty for the woodchipper is valid for 12 months from the date of sale to the first end user. It covers manufacturing defects but excludes normal wear and tear. The warranty is non-transferable except under specific conditions involving authorized dealers. Owners must operate and maintain the equipment according to the manual and report failures within 10 days.
The document includes various safety warnings and decals, emphasizing the importance of using personal protective equipment, avoiding certain operations, and ensuring proper maintenance to prevent injury and equipment damage.

SAFE WORKING The chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on sharp blades both on the feed rollers and the chipper rotor. To keep the blades sharp, only feed the machine with clean brushwood. DO NOT put muddy/dirty wood, roots, potted plants, bricks, stones or metal into the chipper. OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Chainsaw safety helmet fitted with mesh visor and recommended ear defenders to the appropriate specifications. Close fitting heavy-duty non-snag clothing. Work gloves with elasticated wrist. Face mask if appropriate. Steel toe cap safety...

AUTO CONTROLS The engine management unit controls the feed rate of the material going into the chipping chamber. If the engine speed is below the predetermined level, the engine management unit will not allow the feed rollers to work in the forward “infeed” direction, until the rotor speed rises above the predetermined level. At this point the feed rollers will start turning without warning. The reverse function will operate at any engine speed. DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING LOCATE the machine on firm level ground. CHECK machine is well supported and cannot move. CHECK all guards are fitted and...
