SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES ! DANGER

The words ! Danger, ! Warning, ! Caution, and Notice are used on the safety decals and throughout this manual, to make you aware of the safety procedures. These procedures are very important, read and obey them. YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US!
This machine is equipped with safety decals, guards and designs for your protection.
Don't ever take the machine for granted, always be cautious and careful when operating your equipment.
Read and follow all the instructions in your manual thoroughly. Your safety is dependent on your knowledge of how to operate and maintain this machine. You may obtain additional copies of this manual from your Bandit Dealer.
Before operating machine, you must have all potential operators; read and understand manuals and decals, watch the video and follow the recommendations.
Regardless of how hard a manufacturer tries to produce a safe machine, accidents still happen. Normally accidents are caused by people making mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for their safety. This normally happens after the person has become accustomed to the machinery. In the initial start up and operation of the machinery, they are cautious, they are very careful because they do not understand the machine.
This equipment is intended for use by adults who have been properly trained and are physically capable of operating the machine safely. Never allow minors to operate this machine. Never operate any machine while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Never operate equipment that is in need of repair or adjustment. Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of working area.
There must be at least two qualified and trained operators at the work site. They must be positioned in safe working locations, following safety procedures and instructions, and aware of each others whereabouts. There must, also, be at least two people on site during maintenance and service procedures in case an accident should occur.

! WARNING
Operators must at all times be located within easy reach of all feed control and shut-off devices when the unit is running. They must be attentive and prepared to activate the devices.
! DANGER
Torn or loose clothing is more likely to get caught in moving machinery parts or tree branches. Keep such items as long hair, shirt sleeves, and shirt tails properly contained. Avoid wearing necklaces, rings, watches, and especially neckties while operating this machinery. Make sure the machine is in excellent condition, and all the guards are in place, tight and secure.
Wear all personal protection equipment and follow all safety standards per ANSI and OSHA instructions. Examples of equipment: hard hat, face shield, safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc. Do not wear gauntlet or secured fit gloves. Always keep a fully charged fire extinguisher with the machine while operating or servicing the machine.

! DANGER

Before starting the machine, take a minute to check a few things. The machine should be in an area restricted from people passing by. This area around the machine must be free of all objects that can obstruct your movement when working with the machine. The machine should be checked for loose tools or foreign objects, especially in the infeed hopper area. All tools not in use should be secured in a tool box.

! WARNING
Before performing maintenance on the machine remove all debris, oil, grease, water, snow, ice, etc. from all machine surfaces.
! DANGER
Keep hands clear of all pinch points.

Bandit

MODEL 2590

SAFETY PROCEDURES

! DANGER
NEVER sit, stand, lay, climb or ride anywhere on this machine while it is running, operating, or in transit. You will be injured.
! DANGER
Pay attention to the direction of the discharge chute before chipping. Never stand in front of the chipper discharge chute. Never direct the chute towards anyone or anything that could cause an accident or problems. Always stop chipping and warn anyone that comes near the discharge area. Failure to do this could result in severe injury. Wood chips flying out of the discharge chute can be very dangerous!
! WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good possibility they won't loosen again. Certain nuts and bolts should be checked periodically such as anvil and knife nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and fit.
Most of the nuts used on the machine are self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed five times, it should be replaced to ensure proper tightness. This is especially critical on the chipper knife nuts and bolts!
After the engine is started, let the chipper disc/drum turn at the lowest RPM's possible. Listen for any type of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is foreign. If you hear a noise, stop the engine, find the problem and fix it.
! WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine and recheck all hydraulic fittings. Relieve all pressure and retighten as needed.
DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury, gangrene, or death. Avoid burns from fluid. Hot fluid under pressure can cause severe burns. DO NOT use fingers or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings. Relieve all pressure in the system before disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other work. Use a piece of cardboard to find leaks. Never use your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to ambient temperature before opening any coolant or hydraulic oil system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system to warm up to operating temperature.

! DANGER
Never reach into the infeed hopper area of the machine, there is never any reason to. The feedwheels are designed to pull trees and brush of any length into the machine. Pulling a hand, arm, foot or entire body through the machine is much easier than pulling a tree. Do not think you will be able to pull yourself free of the feedwheels, they will not let go. There is absolutely no reason to work inside of the infeed hopper. If the feedwheels become tangled or clogged: disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery before cleaning them out. If there are short pieces, just leave them until feeding longer pieces. While the longer pieces are feeding, simply put the short pieces on top of them. The longer pieces will take them on into the machine.
If there is larger diameter wood, try to feed it with smaller diameter wood. Start a small diameter limb which will partially open the feedwheels. Once the feedwheels are partially open it is much easier to insert the larger diameter wood.
When feeding larger diameter wood, listen for the engine to possibly lug down. If it starts lugging down stop the feedwheels by stopping the feed system, and let the engine recover to full speed. If the machine is equipped with Autofeed and it is functioning properly, the feed system will automatically stop to let the engine recover. This will help stop the machine from plugging the discharge chute.
! DANGER
DO NOT operate this machine indoors! Exhaust fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine is running. Never refuel in the shop or building. Always refuel in a well ventilated area, away from sparks or open flames, DO NOT SMOKE. Extinguish all smoking materials. Wipe up all spilled fuel before restarting the engine. Do not fill above 1/2" (12.7mm) from top of tank.
To obtain the most from your machine, for the least amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up and follow a scheduled preventative maintenance program. It will eliminate many possible problems and down time.
NOTICE
The Bandit has only been run for a short time to test proper hydraulic pressures, possible leaks, etc. The fuel tank will be empty. Fuel is provided through a small auxiliary tank for testing. This immensely helps maintain safety in our manufacturing facility and while shipping.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

! DANGER

! WARNING

Keep the machine in good condition. Be sure the machine is in good operating condition and that all safety devices, including guards and shields are installed and functioning properly. Visually inspect the machine daily before starting the machine. Refer to the "Daily Start Up & Maintenance". Make no modifications to your equipment unless specifically recommended or requested by Bandit Industries Inc.
! WARNING
DO NOT operate this machine unless all hydraulic control devices operate properly. They must function, shift and position smoothly and accurately at all times. Faulty controls can cause personal injury!
! DANGER
Avoid moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power driven parts. Keep all guards and shields in place and properly secured.
! DANGER

! DANGER
DO NOT run or operate this machine with any door/compartment open. Door enclosures are guards, you can be injured if open during operation.
! DANGER
DO NOT attempt to hand feed this machine. DO NOT operate the loader arm or chipper when anyone is standing or working in front of the chipper infeed opening. Failure to do this could result in serious injury or death.
! DANGER
DO NOT hand feed this machine! This machine is designed to only be fed by a mechanical log loader. Feeding material into this machine by hand is not permitted or authorized. Severe injury or death can result!
! WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with higher sulfur content. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.

Never use jumper cables during freezing temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow the battery time to warm up. If the machine must be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery. If the machine is going to be operated in excessively cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery may be needed to ensure proper and prompt starting. Never use jumper cables in a confined or unventilated area. Battery acid fumes are explosive. Battery acid can cause severe burns. Never expose an open flame or spark near the battery. Keep all burning materials away from the battery. When servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and do not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.
! DANGER
DO NOT remove the hood pin until the chipper disc/drum has came to a complete stop. The chipper disc/drum will coast for several minutes after the engine is shut down. Always wait at least several minutes.
DO NOT operate this machine without the Hood Pin in place. Do not operate the machine with any type of makeshift hood pin or an improperly installed hood pin! The Hood Pin MUST be padlocked.
DO NOT operate the machine with the chipper hood open under any circumstances.
! DANGER
Before attempting any type of maintenance, disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
ALWAYS install the disc/drum lock pin to prevent inadvertent rotation. On disc chippers insert lock pin through lock pin tube on the belly band under hood rest. On drum chippers insert lock pin through lock pin tube on side of drum housing.
Simply slide the lock pin into the disc/drum lock tube. This is to ensure that the chipper disc/drum cannot be started while you are working inside the machine. If for some reason the chipper disc/drum would start to turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.
! DANGER
The knives must be securely fastened and torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks during operation, someone or something may get injured or damaged.
! DANGER
Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra careful and wear proper hand protection when handling knives.

Bandit

MODEL 2590

SAFETY PROCEDURES

! DANGER
Before opening or closing the feedwheel trap door: disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, install the disc/drum lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is in your possession. In the event that dirty material is being run through the chipper the feedwheel trap door can be opened.
! WARNING
The machine was built with a chipper hood engine disable plug which disables the engine if it is not installed properly with the hood pin holding the chipper hood in the closed position. Correctly installed and maintained, the engine will not start or it will shut off if the chipper hood engine disable plug is disconnected. The chipper hood must NEVER be opened, or pushed closed if the chipper disc/drum is turning.
! DANGER
DO NOT slam the chipper hood to the open position. This will cause damage to the hinge. If your hinge has become damaged by slamming the hood to the open position, Replace The Hinge Immediately! If the hinge has become damaged it will cause misalignment of the hood, the chipper disc/drum may then hit the hood and cause a serious accident! Lubricate the hood hinge daily.
! DANGER
Never turn the chipper disc/drum by hand, always carefully use a pry bar or wood bar. This will help prevent the person turning the disc/drum from being injured should the disc/drum break loose.
A sight hole in the chipper beltshield has been provided. If chipper belts are moving do not open chipper hood. Do not stick fingers in sight hole.
! DANGER
Do not work inside the mouth of the chipper or around the feedwheel(s), until you have installed the yoke lock pin completely and securely to help keep the top feedwheel in the raised position. Remove top wheel springs if equipped, block and chain top wheel up before doing any work inside throat.

Use Yoke Lock Pin

Use Chain

Use Wooden
Block

! DANGER
If the chipper is properly maintained and operated correctly, the chipper should not plug. In the unlikely event that the chipper becomes plugged, do not attempt to clean out the discharge or chipper housing in the field. Take the machine to a local dealer or professional shop. If the machine is a rental, take it back to the rental company.
! DANGER
If the discharge or hood need to be removed, always use some sort of mechanical device like an overhead hoist, loader, lift truck, etc. that is rated for lifting that component. Follow all OSHA instructions for lifting.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to start the engine or engage the engine PTO (power-take-off) system on this machine if the chipper disc/drum is jammed or frozen in place. If you do, you will damage or ruin the drive belts and/or the PTO which will not be covered under warranty and will cost you down time and money.
! DANGER
Do not work on the machine if the engine is running with the clutch disengaged. A clutch can self engage if either the pilot or throw-out bearing happens to seize to the main output shaft.
There are various types of clutches (PTO's) available for this type of equipment. Make sure to study the original clutch manufacturer's manual that is provided with the machine and follow its instructions for operation, service, and adjustments. Some styles require clutch engagement to be maintained so that it takes a lot of force, others will require very little force, and some are push button, electric, manual lever, or hydraulic activation. Each different style clutch (PTO) is a very expensive item that will fail if not correctly maintained and adjusted. It will be quite costly if a few minutes are not taken daily, weekly, and monthly to keep the clutch serviced as required.
The operator must take care in the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, engine RPM should always be at idle speed. When the engine has sufficiently warmed up, bump the clutch handle against engagement to start the chipper disc/drum turning. This will have to be repeated until the chipper disc/drum is turning at proper ratio with engine RPM. Then push the handle all the way in gear until it locks into position securely. After engagement raise engine RPM to full throttle. Engaging and disengaging the clutch at high engine RPM will quickly and excessively wear out clutch plates as well as bearings. Refer to clutch manufacturer's manual for proper service and operation.

8. Check chipper drum to turn: Very carefully, manually with a pry bar or wood bar, turn the chipper drum a full revolution. This is to ensure the anvil and knives have proper clearance. If the chipper drum is jammed with debris or frozen in place, DO NOT attempt to start the engine and engage clutch until the chipper disc/drum rotates freely.
9. Check the condition of the knives, anvil, and attaching hardware: Grind, file, or replace the knives to keep them sharp. Check the anvil and attaching hardware for the knives and anvil. Replace if necessary.
10. Properly torque the knife mounting hardware: All knife mounting hardware must be factory approved. Knife mounting hardware must be replaced after maximum of 4-5 knife rotations/changes to ensure safe clamping ability. Torque set, AT ALL TIMES to: See TORQUE CHART on page 43.
11. Hood lock pin and padlock: After closing chipper hood, reinsert the hood pin and padlock, make sure pin is tight and secure. If worn replace immediately. Don't use a worn or makeshift hood pin. Make sure the spring lock for the hood pin is in the correct position on disc chippers. Make sure the chipper hood engine disable switch is installed correctly and that it is also operating properly.
12. Grease all feedwheel and conveyor bearings daily: Use an EP-2 Lithium type grease only for all feedwheel and conveyor bearings. Grease bearings with one shot of grease. This type of bearing are designed with a relief system that will not allow over greasing. In other words, you can not hurt the bearing seals by pumping in too much grease. Most of the failures related to bearings are diagnosed as "Contamination". Contamination is caused by improper lubrication. Wipe off excess grease. Excessive grease will attract dirt.
13. Check and oil feedwheel slide box: Check that the feedwheel slide box is working smoothly and oil with 10W/30 type motor oil. Clean and oil the slide guides. After pinning, chaining, and blocking the top yoke in the up position, clean and oil each side of the bottom yoke. New machines, especially, need oiling to ensure correct operation during break-in.

14. Check / adjust the chipper drive belt tension: Inspect belt condition and replace if needed. The belts will need to be tightened several times in the first few days of operation. A loose belt will slip and then glaze over. Once they slip you must replace them. Check hydraulic pump drive belts also if equipped. See pages 58 - 59 for procedures.
15. Check drive chain tension: Check tension on all chain drives and tighten as necessary. Chain tension is 1/4" (6 mm) per foot (0.3 m) of center distance between the sprockets, NOT to exceed a 1/2" (13 mm) of deflection. The top feedwheel chain tension is 1/2" (13 mm). Do not over tighten, which may result in hydraulic motor failure.
16. Check the hydraulic pump and motor shafts: Check the hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor shafts for fit and tightness.
17. Check hydraulic oil level: The hydraulic oil reservoir tank level should always remain at 3/4 to 7/8 full. Remember to check DAILY to avoid excessive heat build up.
18. Check hydraulic shut-off valves: Check to ensure all shut-off valves are open.
19. Check for any fluid leaks: Inspect for any oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, or engine coolant leaks. Check all hoses, fittings, lines, and tanks. DO NOT use fingers or skin to check for hydraulic leaks. Repair or replace any damaged or leaking components.
20. Check hydraulic control valves: Inspect all hydraulic control valves and ensure they operate smoothly and shift correctly.
21. Check the fuel level: Check the fuel level, running out and repriming is time consuming. Do not over fill, and you must leave fuel expansion space in the top of the tank.
22. Check engine oil and coolant level: Follow the engine manufacturer manual recommendations for fluid levels. You MUST follow specific ENGINE MFG. manual recommendations for radiator coolant, additives, lubrication, correct engine speed, ETC.
23. Check DEF level on Tier 4 engines: Check the Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) level on Tier 4 engines. Fill to engine manufacturer's manual recommendations.

KNIFE SHARPENING

Only Bandit knives and hardware are recommended for use in your Bandit chippers. Only then can you be assured of a quality product that fits and performs the best to the standards of excellence that is expected from the Bandit chipper.

Chipper knives MUST be kept sharp at all times for the ultimate chipper and knife performance. The main cause of poor cutting performance is dull knives.
Dull Knives Cause: - Excessive waste of engine horsepower - Bad quality chips; chunks, slivers, etc. - Excessive strain on knives and mounting hardware - Excessive strain on chipper disc/drum bearings
and total machine - Excessive chipping vibration damaging the machine - Excessive strain on drives, PTO's, engines, etc. - Increase the probability of the discharge plugging
and decreases the throwing distance - Loss of time and money
The Dulling Of Chipper Knives Is Caused By: - Poor quality knives - Improper anvil to knife clearance - Force feeding wood faster than chipper will accept - Dirt, grit, or foreign material on the wood - Chipper knives sharpened at wrong angle - Improper care of knives and knife hardware
These are just a few factors, there are other situations that can lead to the dulling of chipper knives.
NOTICE
Many times a chipper knives cutting edge/point can be brought back to a good edge with a #10 Flat Bastard Mill File. This can reduce the amount of resharpening.
Typical Knife Grinding Angles: "Bolt-In" Knives = 30� to 30 1/2� Angle

! CAUTION
Do not sharpen the knives in a direction which produces a radius, or hollow grind, on the surface of the knife. Strength and life of the cutting edge is reduced.
- For maximum chipper efficiency, the original cutting angle must be maintained when the knives are sharpened. The knives should be machine ground to produce a flat, straight edge.
- Do not sharpen the knives with a hand held power grinder. The knife angle can't be held and heat will distort the metal.
- Sharpening techniques should be the same as those employed for any high carbon steel cutting edge. Use a coolant and exercise care not to draw temper or crack the cutting edges by excessive heating.
- Knives may be sharpened repeatedly as long as their original width is not reduced to less than the specified minimum width. If a knife measures less than the specified minimum width after sharpening, it must be discarded.
- Inspect the knives after sharpening to ensure the knives are free of cracks.
- Maintain spare sharpened knives to avoid downtime for knife sharpening.
! DANGER
Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra careful and wear proper hand protection when handling knives.

Knives should be replaced in sets. These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening done to the knives (knife width). Resharpening knives reduces the width of the knife. Knife replacement should be done in sets of the same width knives. That will reduce chipping vibration and increase chipping performance.

NOTICE
USE CORRECT KNIFE AND HARDWARE
DO NOT use a size or style chipper knife, bolt or nut other than factory approved for this chipper - see manual.

NOTICE
- Keep knives sharp. - Keep knife angle correct when sharpening. - Do not over sharpen so knife is narrower than
allowed width, or you will pack wood and break knives. - Use correct knife size, knife quality, knife mounting hardware, and torque knife mounting hardware to the specified torque. - Replace knife mounting hardware after (5) times of tightening.

DO NOT over torque or under torque knife bolts and nuts - see manual.
DO NOT resharpen knife more than minimum width - see manual.
DO NOT use a knife bolt or nut which has been tightened over (5) times - replace.
DO NOT improperly install the knife nuts. Flat surface of nut goes toward the chipper disc.
DO check the chipper disc/drum daily for secure welds, cracks, excessive wear, torqued bolts, elongated bolt holes and/or good bolt hole threads. If problem is found, contact chipper manufacturer or authorized dealer.

KNIFE CHANGING PROCEDURE
Only Bandit knives and hardware are recommended for use in your Bandit chippers. Only then can you be assured of a quality product that fits and performs the best to the standards of excellence that is expected from the Bandit chipper.
! DANGER
Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra careful and wear proper hand protection when handling knives. Before changing knives make sure all shut down procedures are followed.

1. Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the disc/drum lock pin, and then disconnect the battery. 2. Disconnect the chipper hood engine disable plug.
3. Remove the padlock from the hood pin.
4. On disc chippers, recess the spring lock for the hood pin and retract the hood pin. On drum chippers, retract the hood pin.
5. Carefully open the hinged part of the chipper hood. Do not slam the chipper hood to the open position. This will cause damage to the hinge. If the hinge becomes damaged by slamming the hood open, replace the hinge immediately! If the hinge has become damaged, it will cause misalignment of the hood, the chipper disc/drum may hit the hood and cause a serious accident!
6. Changing the chipper knives is a two person job. One person, using a wooden block, holds the chipper knife in place while the other person removes the chipper knife hardware. Remove all of the knives in each pocket. If the machine is a disc chipper with 5/8" knife bolts, typically a 3/8" allen key and a 1 1/16" socket is required to change or torque the knife hardware. If the machine is a disc chipper with 1/2" knife bolts, typically a 5/16" allen key and a 7/8" socket is required to change or torque the knife hardware. If the machine is a drum chipper, typically a 15/16" socket is required to change or torque the knife hardware.
7. Once the knives have been removed, inspect the knife pocket. Check for secure welds, excessive wear, impact cracks, and elongated bolt holes on disc chippers or the condition of the knife bolt threads on drum chippers. If a problem is found, contact your local dealer or Bandit Industries.
8. Clean out the knife pocket at this time. Remove all debris from the pocket and knife bolt holes.
9. Sharpen, rotate, or replace the chipper knife. Knives should be professionally ground, maintaining angle and dimensional specifications. Knives should be replaced in sets. These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening done to the knives. It should be reinstalled with another knife of comparable usage. It helps to keep the disc/drum balanced, and it helps maintain chip quality. Do not allow the knives to wear beyond the absolute minimum specified distance from the center line of the bolt hole. Reinstall the chipper knives. Make sure to properly torque the knife hardware, see Bolt Torque Chart. Knife mounting hardware must be replaced after maximum of 4 - 5 knife rotations/changes to in sure safe clamping ability. All knives and knife mounting hardware must be factory approved.
10. Remove the disc/drum lock pin. Very carefully, manually with a bar, turn the chipper disc/drum to the next knife pocket. Reinstall the disc/drum lock pin.
11. Repeat steps 6 though 10, for each knife pocket.
12. Once the knives have been changed or rotated, check the anvil clearance. Make sure the clearance is maintained to the specified distance from the highest knife. Do Not under any circumstance attempt to rotate the chipper disc/drum while someone is inside the infeed hopper. They may become seriously injured, Do Not Do This!
13. Close the hinged part of the chipper hood and reinstall the hood pin, hood pin padlock, chipper hood disable plug, and on disc chippers make sure the spring lock for the hood pin springs back into position.

! DANGER
Replace the bolts, nuts, knives, clamps and holder when they need it. DON'T stretch it! You will pay for it either by damage to machine or possible damage to a person. Knife pocket bolts should be replaced after (5) uses.
Using a piece of wood, install the sharp babbitted knife and hold it firmly into position. The piece of wood will hold the knife back into pocket.
To retighten the knife clamp; first tighten center knife bolt and then tighten the outside bolts. Knife bolts must be torqued tight at 210 ft.-lbs. (285 Nm).
Always check with a .002 to .005 feeler gauge to make sure the knife, counter knife and clamps are seated tight at all seams when done. There should not be any gap between the knife pocket pinch points in hardware.
To remove the dull knife, hold the knife in position carefully with leather gloves. Then loosen the bolts with a 6-point socket. They only need to be loosened enough to let knife slide out. Clean all debris out of the knife pocket and hardware.

! WARNING
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information pertaining to the knife babbitt material including the health hazard information, first aid procedures, special handling procedures, disposal procedures, etc. If needed, contact your nearest dealer or Bandit Industries for the knife babbitt MSDS.
KNIFE BABBITTING PROCEDURES
1. Insert the knives into the knife gauge and slide the spacers up tight to avoid overspill of the babbitt material.

2. Heat the knife and knife gauge with a torch (see Figure 1). This will prevent blow back which could occur if there were any moisture left in the fixture.

3. Pour babbitt slowly from the ladle on to knife gauge between steps gradually filling the cavity (see Figure 2).

4. Once the babbitt has cooled remove the knife (see Figure 3) and place on a stand so the excess babbitt can be filed away (see Figure 4). Do not allow the babbitt to extend over the edges of the knife or serious damage will result to the components in the knife pocket.

A sight hole in the chipper beltshield has been provided. If chipper belts are moving do not open chipper hood. Do not stick fingers in sight hole.
! DANGER
The knives must be securely fastened and torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks during operation, someone may get injured or something may get damaged.

! DANGER
Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is always necessary for your protection to be extra careful and wear proper hand protection when handling knives.
1. Follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures.

2. Clean the surface of the knife sub holder, knife holder, all threaded holes, and all bolt threads of all debris. See Figure 1.

3. If replacing counter knife: be sure counter knife, bolts, and threaded holes are also clean of debris. The counter knife must be installed using Loctite 243 (blue) on the socket head cap screws and torqued to 15 ft.-lbs (20 Nm). See Figure 2. If the counter knife is not replaced, make sure the socket head cap screws are not sticking above the knife holder surface.

4. Inspect the knife holder and drum head pocket to make sure there is no debris on either.

5. Place the knife holder in the drum head pocket making sure the knife holder sits flat. The knife holder may look different than the knife holder shown in Figure 3, depending on knife options.
6. Apply Loctite 243 (blue) or equivalent to the knife holder bolts.

7. After the bolts have been started, push the knife holder back in to the drum head pocket to make sure the knife holder is tight against the back of the drum head pocket.

8. Using the pattern shown in Figure 3, tighten and torque the knife holder bolts to 250 ft.-lbs. (339 Nm). If the knife holder bolts have been tightened or removed five times, the bolts need to be replaced to ensure proper tightness.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for every drum head pocket.

10. After all the removable knife holders are installed, the knives can be installed. See Figure 3.

11. Make sure the knife is of at least minimum width, refer to the manual.

12. Remove any debris from the knife, knife bolt, and bolt holes and then place the knife on the knife holder.

13. Remove any debris from the top clamp and look for dishing or wear. Replace if needed. Place the top clamp on the knife.

14. Thread the knife bolts through the top clamp and knife and hand tighten as far as possible. Do Not Use an impact wrench to start the knife bolts, the knife holder bolt holes can strip.

15. Make sure the knife babbitt is tight against the back of the knife holder.

16. Using the pattern shown in Figure 4, tighten and torque the knife bolts to 210 ft.-lbs. (285 Nm). After the bolts have been tightened to the correct torque, check the torque on the knife bolt one more time by checking the bolts in a row. If the knife bolts have been tightened or removed five times, the bolts need to be replaced to ensure proper tightness.

17. Repeat steps 10 through 16 for every drum head pocket.

18. After all the knives are installed, the anvil needs to be checked for proper clearance. See the Anvil Adjustment section.

19. Slowly turn the drum head with a pry bar or wood bar to make sure everything clears. Rotate the

chipper drum at least one (1) revolution.

CHECK THE ANVIL TO KNIFE CLEARANCE
1. This clearance should be checked on a weekly basis or as knives are changed. To check the anvil clearance, follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures. Once all safety procedures are completed the anvil to knife clearance can be checked.
2. In order to check the clearance one person will need to climb into the infeed hopper. Use a feeler gauge or the anvil to knife gauge supplied by Bandit to check the clearance of the first knife to the anvil. Check the clearance at the left and right sides of the knife.
3. Once that knife has been checked climb back out of the infeed hopper, remove the drum lock pin, and very carefully rotate the chipper drum so the other knives can be checked.
4. Once all knives have been checked adjust the anvil according to the closest knife. The anvil to knife clearance should be .120 inches (3.0 mm).
5. Set the closest knife to this distance.
ANVIL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. To adjust the anvil first loosen two of the hex nuts on either the inside or outside of the anvil puller block. If the anvil needs to be adjusted closer to the drum, loosen the outside anvil adjuster hex nuts. If the anvil needs to be adjusted away from the drum, loosen the inside anvil adjuster hex nuts.
2. Loosen the anvil bolts from underneath the machine. 3. Once the components have been loosened, move the anvil to the correct clearance using the anvil
adjuster bolts and hex nuts. 4. Once the knife is set to the correct clearance, .120 inches (3.0 mm), retighten all components.. 5. Make sure bolts are torqued to their specific bolt torques refer to bolt torques on page 43. 6. Carefully rotate the chipper drum to make sure all the knives clear the anvil.

MAINTENANCE
CHIPPER BELT TENSION

! DANGER
Before attempting any type of maintenance, disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
NOTICE
Every month, the beltshield needs to be removed and the belts need to be checked and adjusted. For best results use a good belt tension tester. The slot in the beltshield is for a quick daily check of the belt tension.
NOTICE
Do not over tighten the hydraulic pump belt. Most all pump failures result from too much side load on the pump shaft. Too much belt tension is very easy to detect inside a failed pump. Pumps with this condition will not be covered under warranty.
GENERAL RULES FOR TENSIONING
1. Check tensioning during the first 2 through 48 hours of run-in operation especially.
2. Over tensioning or under tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
3. Keep belts free from foreign materials that may cause the belt to slip.
4. Make V-drive inspection on a periodic basis. Never use belt dressing as this will damage the belt and cause early failure.
5. Belts should never be forced over the sheave. Allow enough room for belts to slip on.
6. Always make sure sheaves are aligned properly.
MAIN DRIVE BELTS
1. Follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures. 2. Locate the center of the belt span between the
sheaves. 3. Push or pull down on each poly band belt until the
belt has deflected 1" to 1 1/8" (25.4 to 28.6 mm). 4. Record the push or pull down force on each poly
band belt. The force should be 175 to 190 lbs. (80 to 86 kg)/poly band belt. 5. Adjust the belt tension if the force fall outside of this range.
PUMP DRIVE BELTS (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures. 2. Locate the center of the span between sheaves. 3. Push or pull down on the belt until the belt has
deflected 3/8" (9.5 mm). 4. Record push or pull down force. The force should
be 9 to 11 lbs (4.1 to 5.0 kg). 5. Adjust the belt tension if the force falls outside
of this range.

! WARNING
If belts are not properly adjusted belts will slip, glaze over, and be ruined. THIS FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
NOTICE
DO NOT IGNORE THIS MAINTENANCE RULE New belts stretch very soon and must be adjusted several times in the first few hours of operation. Adjust after one hour of operation, then every four hours until the belts quit stretching. Failure to do this will cause the belts to burn and fly off. THIS FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
NOTICE
It is a good practice to rotate the sheaves during tensioning. Then recheck deflections. The belts may need to be tightened again.
! DANGER
Keep hands clear of all pinch points
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove beltshield. 2. To adjust the belt tension, loosen the four engine
mounting bolts and the jam nuts on the engine adjuster on the radiator end of the engine. 3. Adjust the belt tension with the engine adjuster on the clutch end of the engine. If you have to push the engine with the adjuster, the belts will tighten slightly after the engine is realigned. 4. Use the engine adjuster on the radiator end of the engine to realign the engine, so the engine sheave and chipper sheave are aligned. The sheaves can be checked with a string or straight edge. 5. Torque the two engine mounting bolts (see Torque Chart for the correct torque) on the opposite side of the engine from the engine adjusters. 6. Loosen the jam nuts on the engine adjuster on the radiator end of the engine. 7. Torque the engine mount bolt and then tighten the engine adjuster jam nuts on the radiator end. 8. Hand tighten the remaining engine mount bolt. Loosen the engine adjuster jam nuts all the way and torque the engine mount bolt. 9. Tighten the engine adjuster jam nuts on the clutch end. 10. Recheck the belt tension and alignment, if readjustment is needed go back to step 2. 11. Reinstall beltshield.

SERVICING BEARING BLOCK
The female splines in the bearing block need to be packed with an EP-2 Lithium type grease every six months or every 1000 hours. To do this, unbolt the hydraulic pump from the bearing block and slide the hydraulic pump out of the bearing block. There is no need to loosen or remove the hydraulic lines. Once the hydraulic pump is removed from the bearing block, inspect the internal splines of the bearing block and the external splines of the hydraulic pump. The tops of the splines should be flat. If the splines are pointed, they are wore and need to be replaced. If the splines are good, pack the internal splines of the bearing block with an EP-2 Lithium type grease, reinstall the hydraulic pump, and bolt the hydraulic pump to the bearing block.
The fluid in the bearing block needs to be checked weekly and kept full with an 80W/90 type gear lube. See the Weekly Maintenance for the capacity, if needed.

MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURE FOR UNPLUGGING YOUR CHIPPER
If your chipper is plugging, it is usually caused by allowing the engine to drop below required R.P.M.'s. This can be resolved by simply shutting the feedwheel(s) off when the engine begins to lug down. Operating the engine at speeds lower than full R.P.M.'s causes your chipper to plug. Always run the chipper at full engine speed. If your chipper is equipped with the optional autofeed feature, make sure it is set correctly. The setting for the low R.P.M. stop must be high enough not to allow the chipper discharge to plug. Dull chipper knives also contribute to chipper plugging. Dull knives can create slivers and chunks, causing the engine to lug excessively. Both of the aforementioned conditions cause a plugging situation.
! DANGER
If the chipper is properly maintained and operated correctly, the chipper should not plug. In the unlikely event that the chipper becomes plugged, do not attempt to clean out the discharge or chipper housing in the field. Take the machine to a local dealer or professional shop. If the machine is a rental, take it back to the rental company.

! DANGER
If the discharge or hood need to be removed, always use some sort of mechanical device like an overhead hoist, loader, lift truck, etc. that is rated for lifting that component. Follow all OSHA instructions for lifting.

STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN UNPLUGGING YOUR CHIPPER
1. Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch, wait for the drum to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, remove ignition key, be sure to have the ignition key in your possession, disconnect the battery and install the disc/drum lock pin.
2. There must be at least two people on site during maintenance and service procedures in case an accident should occur.
3. Make sure the chipper drum is NOT turning and then open the hinged portion of the chipper hood.
4. Using gloved hands and some type of raking tool, dig the chips out of the chipper housing.
5. If the discharge chute is plugged, use a raking tool to pull the majority of chips out of the open outlet end of the chute. If the discharge chute needs to removed, use some sort of mechanical device like an overhead hoist, loader, lift truck, etc. that is rated to lift the discharge. Follow all OSHA instructions for lifting.
6. Never allow a person to turn the chipper drum when someone else is working inside the chipper housing. More than likely, the chipper drum will turn hard then loosen causing it to turn faster. If another person is anywhere near the chipper drum, they may be injured.
7. Never turn the chipper drum by hand. Always use a pry bar or wood bar. This will prevent the person turning the drum from being injured should the drum break loose.
8. Reinstall the discharge chute, mount securely and point it in a safe direction away from anything.
9. Never leave the chipper hood open and try to start the engine in order to engage the chipper drum to blow chips out of the housing, this is very hard on the P.T.O. of the chipper and may burn clutch plates. Also, the flying debris is very dangerous. An exposed chipper drum turning very fast creates an unsafe condition. In other words, DO NOT start the chipper with the hood open because it is just too dangerous.
10. Once the drum turns freely, close the chipper hood, insert the hood pin, install the padlock in the hood pin, reinstall the chipper hood engine disable plug, make sure the spring lock for hood pin springs back to the correct operating position on disc chippers, start engine, properly engage clutch and throttle to full speed. Insert a small branch into the feedwheel(s). If the chips discharge properly, the chipper is clear and normal operation may resume.

TIRE WEAR DIAGNOSTIC CHART

Wear Pattern

Cause

Action

Edge � Under Wear inflation

� Adjust pressure to particular load per tire catalog

Side Wear

� Not hauling trailer level
� Bent axles � Wide tires � Wheel
bearings

� Must be hauled parallel to the ground
� Replace as needed
� Characteristic of wide flotation tires
� Adjust or replace

Cup Wear

� Out of balance wheel bearings

� Check bearing adjustment and balance tires
� Adjust or replace

The wear pattern and tread life of tires involves many variables that the user has control of, but DOES NOT fall under faulty manufacture or design.
The following is a list of some causes supplied by tire suppliers and axle manufacturers:
� Misalignment - from rough roads, pot holes, excessive speeds and hitting curbs.
� Tire Width - the wider the tire for flotation, the more uneven the tire wear.
� Tire Air Pressure - to much or too little, for the load.
� Vehicle Hitch Height - if trailer is not level with ground, axle camber is misaligned.
� Maintenance - wheel bearing lubrication and adjustment. Follow axle MFG. instructions.
� Brakes - uneven or misadjusted brakes cause irregular brake activation.

Center � Over Wear inflation

� Adjust pressure to particular load per tire catalog

Flat Spots

� Wheel lock up and tire skidding

� Avoid sudden stops and adjust brakes

RECOMMENDED BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE PER AXLE MANUFACTURER.

The proper clearance between the shoe and drum surfaces will be set up initially from our factory to assure proper operation during the normal break in period. No further adjustment will be necessary until the vehicle completes the recommended break in period of 200 miles (322 km).
Since all brakes of this type must be burnished or "run in" before their full effectiveness can be achieved, the MFG. maintenance manuals call for readjustment after the first 200 miles (322 km) of operation. This usually allows ample time for the burnishing to take place. Readjustments are not necessary for brakes fitted with self-adjustment features although periodic inspection is suggested.
The following shows the correct adjustment for the MFG. brakes of 12 1/4" and 16 1/2" diameter.
NOTICE
Clearances that are too small will result in excessive drag and overheating while too much clearance can render the brake nonfunctional.

PAINT CARE
To help keep up the appearance of your Bandit equipment and reduce the possibility of surface rust follow these steps:
1. The machine should be washed on a regular basis with a non-abrasive mild detergent and then rinsed thoroughly. Do not pressure wash sensitive areas like: decals, gauges, electronic devices, autofeed control, etc.
2. If a stone chip, paint scratch, or paint crack occurs - it should be repaired immediately. Simply sand the edges of the damaged paint area, mask off the surrounding area, and apply primer and paint to the dry, clean, and warm area. This will keep the damaged area from spreading or getting worse.
3. If you are unable to sand and mask the area, there are containers of primer and paint available. A small brush can be used to touch up the area.
4. Also, primer and most colors of paint are available in aerosol spray cans to simply spray over the effected area after it is cleaned, dry, and warmed. This method is not as reliable as the process in step #2.
It is also reported that some equipment owners polish their machine at least yearly, and keep good mud flaps on their towing trucks to prolong the machines paint.

WINDOW WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT use any glass cleaner on windows. Follow these steps to clean the windows:
1. Rinse with water to remove abrasive dirt. 2. Wash with soap or mild detergent, using a soft cloth sponge.
Compatible cleaners: Top Job, Joy�, Palmolive Liquid�, Windex� Ammonia Free DO NOT SCRUB 3. Rinse once more, then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. 4. To remove grease, wet paint or decals: rub gently with a cloth wetted thoroughly in VM&P Natha or Isopropyl Alcohol. Wash and rinse.
DO NOT USE RAZOR BLADES, SCRAPERS, SQUEEGEES, ETC.

NOTICE
The above chart is a suggested guide for viscosity of hydraulic fluids at start up ambient temperature. The load, demand, and cleanliness of the equipment will affect actual oil temperatures which can increase dramatically above ambient air temperatures during operation. The actual viscosity needed is based on oil temperature during operation and not air temperature. Compare your fluid specifications with the specifications below to verify compliance.
When choosing a hydraulic fluid - these maximum and minimum specifications must be met: Minimum Viscosity during operation = 12 cSt Maximum No-Load Viscosity at start-up = 2000 cSt
Hydraulic fluids vary in their resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, their ability to protect against metal-to-metal contact under increasing temperature, and their ability to separate water from the fluid. Viscosity is temperature dependent. Fluids with high viscosity-index (VI) will thin out slower at higher temperature and thicken slower at colder temperatures allowing a wider operating range. Choose a fluid that has test results in these areas for best results.
Based on the varying temperatures of the area where Bandit equipment is used, and the high demand and loads placed on this equipment, Bandit has filled each hydraulic system with Petro-Canada's Hydrex XV All Season Hydraulic Fluid for maximum protection and performance.

HYDRAULICS

THE BANDIT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The Bandit is equipped with a very efficient, simple hydraulic system. Each component is capable of withstanding a specified PSI (bar) and still operate for a very long time.
If the simple rules mentioned below are followed, the hydraulic components will last for years:
� After you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour shut down the machine and recheck all hydraulic fittings for tightness and leaks.
� Avoid hydraulic pump cavitation. Low oil levels or cold start-ups will cause the hydraulic pump to cavitate. Cavitation will ruin the pump and possibly the entire hydraulic system. Cavitation only has to happen once. This will start the pump on its way to ruin. Allow hydraulic system to turn slowly for several minutes in cold weather in order for hydraulic system to warm up. Cavitation is not covered under warranty.
� Do not increase the feedwheel relief valve settings beyond specified PSI (bar). This will cause damage to hydraulic components. Do not set any other hydraulic component past it's specified pressure or this will cause damage to the hydraulic components.
� Keep hydraulic oil clean. Dirty oil will cause excessive wear and loss of hydraulic power.
� Replace the hydraulic oil filter(s) after first 10 hours and with each 400 hours of operation or 3 months.
� Replace hydraulic oil & suction screen(s) at least once yearly. This is also a very good time to flush and clean the tank. Replace hydraulic oil immediately if it is contaminated or looks "milky". See pages 75 - 76 for hydraulic oil requirements.

� If the Bandit's hydraulic system is kept clean and the hydraulic pressures are not increased beyond the specified PSI (bar), the maximum use and life should be received from the Bandit chipper hydraulic system.
� If a problem is encountered, it will more than likely be located in the relief valve or something as simple as belts or clutch slipping, check these first.
� Do not close the optional hydraulic shut-off valve for more than 3 to 4 seconds. Hydraulic shut-off valve handle must be completely turned on (in line with hose) at all times unless checking hydraulic pressure. Pressure gauge should be safely stored and installed only when checking pressure. Follow above instructions or this will cause unwarranted damage to the hydraulic components.
� Never close the ball valves on the hydraulic tank suction ports (if equipped) while the machine is running, this will ruin the hydraulic pump and components.
� Some component manufacturers require different specific hydraulic lubrication, such as gear boxes, undercarriage drives, etc. Refer to their manuals and maintenance section of this manual.

To check out the hydraulic motor the mechanic will need a pressure gauge capable of reading 3000 psi (207 bar), a Tee fitting to install to the control valve, a plug fitting to install in the control or relief valve, and a clean 5 gallon (19L) pail.
1. The following instructions are for machines with Live Hydraulics, for machines without Live Hydraulics contact your local dealer or Bandit Industries.
2. In order to check out a hydraulic motor, it is necessary to mechanically stop the motor from turning while under load. The hydraulic pump needs to be driven without turning the chipper disc/drum (Live Hydraulics). Feed a reasonably large size log into the machine until it contacts the stationary disc/drum. This should stall the hydraulic motor(s). It may also be necessary to apply down pressure by operating the yoke control valve (if equipped).
3. With the feedwheel(s) mechanically locked as described, turn the engine off and keep the key in your possession. If the hydraulic motor does not have a case drain, unhook the hose going from the hydraulic motor back to the control valve at the valve, some machines will be equipped with a flow divider between the hydraulic motor and the control valve. If the hydraulic motor has a case drain, unhook the case drain hose that goes to the relief valve at the valve and put the hose into the hydraulic tank.
4. Place the end of the hose in a clean 5 gallon (19L) pail. 5. Plug the open port of the control valve or main relief valve. 6. Unhook the other hose in the control valve and install a Tee fitting into the control valve and attach the
hose to the Tee fitting. 7. Install a pressure gauge in the other port in the Tee fitting to monitor hydraulic pressure. 8. Put the infeed control valve in the center position and start the engine. 9. Increase the engine speed slowly to full rpm. 10. Operate the infeed control valve to feed the log into the stationary disc/drum. If the feedwheel(s) try to
turn, apply down pressure by using the yoke control valve (if equipped). 11. Providing the pump and the relief are functioning properly, the pressure gauge should read the specified
main relief setting. 12. Observe the amount of hydraulic fluid coming from the hose into the pail. If the amount of leakage in
the pail is 1 g.p.m. (3.8 L.p.m.) or less the motor is good. If the amount of leakage in the pail is over 1 g.p.m. (3.8 L.p.m.) the motor needs to be replaced.

HYDRAULIC PUMP CHECK OUT
HYDRAULIC PUMP CHECK WITHOUT USING A FLOW METER
To check out the hydraulic pump the mechanic will need a needle type control valve, a pressure gauge capable
of reading 3000 psi (207 bar), an in-line 2500 psi (172 bar) relief, and a hose long enough to span between
the pump and the hydraulic tank.
1. Disconnect the pressure line going from the pump at the first component and cap the fitting at the component. 2. Attach a Tee fitting to the end of the pressure hose (which was removed from the component) and install
the Tee fitting and gauge. 3. Attach an in-line 2500 psi (172 bar) relief to the Tee fitting with the gauge. 4. Attach the hydraulic flow control valve to the in-line relief and the hose (you supply) to the outlet port of
the flow control valve. 5. Make sure the pressure gauge is installed up stream from the flow control valve. Failure to do
this will cause serious damage to the hydraulic pump when testing. 6. If the hydraulic oil tank is equipped with a mesh strainer in the fill neck, remove it and place the open
end of the hose (you supply) into the tank fill neck. 7. MAKE SURE THAT THE FLOW CONTROL VALVE IS FULLY OPEN SO AS TO ALLOW
UNRESTRICTED FLOW TO PASS THROUGH IT. 8. Start the engine to engage the pump, the clutch may have to be engaged if the pump is belt driven.
9. Have a second person lift the hydraulic hose far enough out of the tank inlet to observe the flow of oil going into the tank. Observe the pressure gauge reading to make sure a high pressure does not exist.
10. Increase the engine speed slowly to full rpm and at the same time observe the pressure. This should
still remain low.
11. SLOWLY turn the needle valve on the flow control in and observe the pressure increase on the pressure gauge.
12. Continue closing the flow control valve until the pressure gauge reading reaches 90% of the normal relief valve setting (example: if system operates at 2500 psi (172 bar), do not exceed 2250 psi (155 bar).
Never allow the pressure to go more than 90% of the main relief pressure. 13. If the pump is good there should be no noticeable decrease in the flow rate coming out of the hose and
into the hydraulic tank.
14. If 90% of the main relief pressure can not be obtained and/or the flow rate of the hose is considerably less, then the pump is worn or damaged.

HYDRAULIC PUMP CHECK OUT
HYDRAULIC PUMP CHECK OUT USING A FLOW METER (WITH RELIEF)
To check out the hydraulic pump the mechanic will need a needle type flow meter capable of reading 3000 psi (207 bar) and a long enough hose that will go from the flow meter back to the first component.
1. Disconnect the pressure line going from the pump at the first component. 2. Attach the flow meter to the end of the pressure hose (which was removed from the component). 3. Attach the hose you supplied to the outlet of the flow meter and run the hose back to the first component.
MAKE SURE THE HOSES ARE ON THE CORRECT SIDES OF THE FLOW METER. 4. Make sure the pressure gauge is installed up stream from the flow control valve. Failure to do
this will cause serious damage to the hydraulic pump when testing. 5. MAKE SURE THAT THE FLOW CONTROL VALVE IS FULLY OPEN SO AS TO ALLOW
UNRESTRICTED FLOW TO PASS THROUGH IT. 6. Start the engine to engage the pump, the clutch may have to be engaged if the pump is belt driven.
7. Observe the flow rate through the meter and pressure gauge reading to make sure a high pressure does not exist.
8. Increase the engine speed slowly to full rpm and at the same time observe the pressure and flow rate. The pressure should still remain low. Make a note of the flow rate (gpm or Lpm) at full engine rpm.
9. SLOWLY turn the needle valve on the flow control in and observe the pressure increase on the pressure gauge.
10. Continue closing the flow control valve until the pressure gauge reading reaches 90% of the normal relief valve setting (example: if system runs at 2500 psi (172 bar), do not exceed 2250 psi (155 bar).
Never allow the pressure to go more than 90% of the main relief pressure. 11. If the pump is good, you should have at least 80% of the flow rate (gpm or Lpm) passing through the
flow meter as noted at low pressure and full rpm (example: 10 gpm (38 Lpm) and low pressure = 8 gpm (30 Lpm) at 90% pressure).
12. If 90% of the main relief pressure can not be obtained and/or the flow rate passing through the meter is considerably less, then the pump is worn or damaged.
