in feed problem

[simonm]

My chippers in feed rollers keep stopping and I have to constantly press the feed roller reset button! Any ideas why?

Your bottom roller is blocked, you need to clear it , take of the bottom roller guard and empty out the mulch. I'd also change the blades while you are at it and check the anvil gap.

There's no blockage. The rollers only stop when there is material been fed through. When its running and nothings going through it works fine

Hydraulic oil?.

[Dean Lofthouse]

Could be alsorts

 

Pressure relief valve

 

Knackered motor

 

Directional valve faulty

 

Needs someone with a bit of knowledge to look at it

had it before where the switch for the cut out was getting activated to early cos the bolt that contacts it had worked loose so the slightest knock or touch on the bar stopped the feed

Sorry i did not mean fully blocked, looking at the photo the bottom roller looks like its got unchipped mulch compacted around the bottom roller, i'v had this b4 and once it was all cleaned out it was fine. The cause of it was blunt blades and a wide anvil gap. When it was chipping was the chip nice and small/clean? if it was stringy you should check it out. Have you had it long?

That's where I would start looking:thumbup1:

It might be the key that links the roller to the drive shaft. We've had that before. They're generally pretty small for the amount of work they do. Often they damage the keyway too so you have to get a new feed roller as well
