What happens here

Before operating, understand the chipper's capabilities and safety measures. The WoodMaxx MX9900SS runs on the skid steer’s hydraulic system and features a 'Push to Stop' bar that can immediately halt and reverse the feeding mechanism in an emergency. It uses hydraulic cylinders to consistently pull material into the chipper. The discharge chute can be adjusted both in direction (360 degrees) and angle to control where the wood chips are deposited, allowing for direct mulching or collection. Always wear hearing and eye protection, and ensure someone remains in the skid steer to shut off the machine in case of emergency.

Goal: Familiarize yourself with the operational aspects and critical safety features of the WoodMaxx chipper, including its feeding mechanism, emergency stop system, and adjustable discharge chute.
