ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Units of Weight and Measure

In this manual, U.S. customary units of weight and mea-
sure are stated first, followed by their SI (metric) values
in parentheses. For example, 10 lb (4.5 kg).
U.S. customary units are sometimes stated in words,
such as inches and gallons. They also appear as abbre-
viations, such as ft for foot or feet, ° F for temperature
degrees Fahrenheit, and in. for inch or inches. Lbs or lb
indicate pounds or pound, and psi indicates pounds per
square inch.
Ft-lb is an abbreviation for “foot-pounds of torque,”
although in some fields the abbreviation lb-ft, for
“pound-feet of torque” is used.
A period (.) after the abbreviation is not included in
most cases, but is retained for the abbreviation of inch
(in.) to avoid confusion with the word “in” of similar
spelling.
Many SI units here have been rounded to avoid incor-
rect precision.
N/A means “not applicable.”

Glossary
Table 1: Glossary of Terms for the 5000H
Term or Phrase Meaning
Anvil The stationary metal bar mounted to the chipper housing that supports the very end of
logs as the chipper knife cuts through the log.
Babbitting, Babbitted When referring to chipper knives, this is the process of adding molten babbitt metal to the
back end of a standard knife so that when it is installed it has the desired extension from
the wear plate of the chipper disk. Normally, a worn chipper knife is removed, re-ground
and then babbitted to restore the correct knife length. Babbitt metal is an alloy of tin,
copper, antimony, and lead.
Boom The portion of the loader arm connected to the cab base. Also known as Main Boom.
Chip Plant This term defines all the machine components related directly to debarking delimbing and
chipping. This would include the feed system, flail units, bark movers, chipper and chip
spout.
Chip Spout The long hollow pipe connected to the chipper through which chips are ejected. The
5000H is built with one of two chip spout styles: the top-loading spout and the shorter end-
loading spout.
Chipper Discharge Chute This is the opening on the chipper housing where chips first emerge from the chipping
process. The chip spout is bolted to the chipper discharge chute.
Chipper Hood The portion of the chipper housing that pivots open to expose the chipper disk.
Chock A curved, wedge-shaped block placed against a wheel to prevent movement.
Clutch The clutch engages and disengages the engine drive shaft from the machine drive shaft
that transmits power to the chip plant. See also, Power Take-Off (PTO).
Combustible Liquid Any liquid having a flash point at or above 100° F (37.8° C). For more details, see OSHA
(1910.106,18) or State of Oregon, OAR 437, same paragraph.
Coolant The engine’s liquid coolant consists mostly of water and is sometimes referred to as
“water.” However coolant always contains anti-freeze and additives. Coolant is used to
draw heat from the engine and release it in the radiator.
Coupler Shaft The dampered linkage between the engine and the gearbox drive shaft. It delivers power
from the engine to the cluster of hydraulic pumps connected to the pump-drive gearbox.
Cribbing Beams of wood, for example rail road ties, stacked evenly to form a four-sided column
that solidly supports the machine frame when working under the machine.
Cylinder Body or Base The hollow component of the hydraulic cylinder assembly from which the cylinder rod
extend. Also known as cylinder base.
Cylinder Rod The component of the hydraulic cylinder assembly that extends out of and retracts into the
cylinder body.
Dirt Separator Spout See Overs Spout.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Table 1: Glossary of Terms for the 5000H (Continued)

Feed Plate A removable plate built into the side of the chipper that seats firmly next to the anvil. Logs
strike and slide along the feed plate as they approach the anvil and chipper knives.
Feeler Gauge(s) Strips of metal fabricated to precise thicknesses. Feeler gauges of known thicknesses are
used to test the gap between the anvil and the chipper knife. When the required thickness
is achieved a slight sliding resistance is felt between the feeler gauge, knife edge and
anvil.
Fins The blades bolted to the discharge side of the chipper disk. The fins work like fan blades,
helping to blow chips out the chip spout.
Flail The rotating drum with attached chains that strike logs and remove bark and small limbs
from logs. Also known as debarker.
Flail Rod A rod which flail chains are hung onto. Ends of flail chains are insert through holes in flail
drum and strung onto flail rods inside flail drum.
Flail Stand A metal bracket with rubber pad on which upper flail housings come to rest in their lowest
position. Flail stands are adjustable to different heights. Each flail housing has two
adjustable flail stands. Also known as stops or machine stops.
Flammable Liquid Any liquid having a flash point below 100° F (37.8° C), with certain exceptions. Replaces
the term inflammable which is no longer correct.
Flash Point The minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration near
the surface to form an ignitable mixture with air.
Float On the 5000H this term applies to the way feed rolls and flail housings are partially
supported by hydraulic cylinders so that they weigh less and can readily rise up and over
logs passing through. On the 5000H the feed rolls and flail housings are never set to
actually float upwards on their own although the system can be set to do this. In the float
setting the feed roll or flail housing should slowly drop down with little force.
Front of Machine The end of the 5000H that is closest to the towing hitch point and the engine.
Glad-hand Couplers The two quick-release connection terminals where the pneumatic brake hoses from the
towing vehicle are connected to the brake system for the 5000H. The glad-hand couplers
are mounted on the front of the machine.
Grapple The claw-shaped parts at the end of the log loader that are used to enclose and grip logs.
Heel Rack The bracket that attaches to the stick portion of the loader arm. It guides or braces the
ends of logs being gripped by the grapple.
Hydraulic Cylinder This term refers to a complete hydraulic component assembly or sub-assembly with all its
moving, stationary, and replaceable parts. Hydraulic cylinders move parts of the machine
such as the flail housings and loader arm. Also known as Actuator.
Hydraulic Lift/Float A customer-chosen option that utilizes hydraulic cylinders to lift and float the upper flail
and feed roll housings. This option is provided on machines to be used in cold climates
where pneumatic cylinders may not function as well.
Joystick A control lever that can be moved in several dimensions causing different machine
actions based on direction of movement.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Kills Engine or Kills All The term “kills,” as in “kills the engine” is American slang, meaning to cause to cease
Systems operating or shut down. “Kills all systems” means to shut down all systems. A “kill button”
is a button or switch designed to shut down an engine or system quickly. Also known as
shut down, emergency stop.
Knife Pocket The term knife pocket has two different meanings on the 5000H:
• The chipper disk has three or four large openings called knife pockets that each hold an
entire knife assembly consisting of the knife holders, clamps, counter knives and
knives.
• Each knife holder has knife pockets that the knives fit into.
Landing Gear The two hydraulically operated legs near the front of the 5000H that raise or lower the
front end of the machine. Landing gear are used during hitching/unhitching and when
leveling the machine. See also, Stabilizers, Outriggers.
OSHA Occupational Safety & Health Administration. A US agency that regulates workplace
safety and health conditions. Agency falls under US Department of Labor.
Overs Spout The outlet from the chipper located immediately to the left of the chip spout. Over-sized
objects “overs” are ejected through the overs spout. Also known as dirt separator spout.
Paddle See Fins
PTO Abbreviation for Power Take-Off. This is an additional engine driveshaft that can be used
to provide power to an attachment such as an hydraulic pump.
Pump Drive Gearbox The pump drive gearbox receives power from the drive line and distributes the power to
various hydraulic pumps that provide power to the flails, feed rolls, loader, and cooler
fans.
Roll Case Rolls The series of 5 or 6 chain-driven rollers that move logs from the debarker to the chipper.
Rotate Flail Chain or Rotate in this context means to change the position of the flail chain or anvil so that an
Rotate Anvil unworn portion is exposed for use. Also known as rearrange or flip.
RPM RPM is an abbreviation for revolutions per minute.
Spin-on Filter A filter with a threaded opening which is installed by turning it onto a threaded connection.
Stabilizers The two hydraulically operated legs near the rear of the machine that help support and
stabilize the machine when the log loader is being operated. Stabilizers extend at an
angle out beyond the sides of the machine thus providing added stability. Also known as
outrigger. Stabilizer is not the same as landing gear. See also, Landing Gear.
Stick The outer segment of the loader arm that holds the grapple. The stick is attached to the
boom. See also, boom, also known as stick boom.
Suction Pump Ball Valve Control flow of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic tank to the pumps and motors. Serious,
Levers permanent pump damage occurs if these valves are not open during machine start up and
operation.
Swing Bearing The large circular bearing that the turret and log loader rotate on. The word swing is
another word for rotation of the cab and log loader.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Tachometer A device for measuring the rotational speed of an object. Contains a display which
indicates speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). A photo-tachometer reads RPM by
optically detecting a reflective moving line or spot on a rotating shaft.
Turret The rotating platform on which the cab and loader arm are mounted.
Twig Knockers These are short nubs mounted on the outside edge of the chipper that help move small
twigs and debris out of the chipper. They function primarily as clamps that help secure the
wear plate to the chipper disk. Also known as nubs, wear plate clamps.
UHMW UHMW is what some of the plastic wear plates on the 5000H are made of. UHMW is an
abbreviation for “Ultra High Molecular Weight.” The term describes several types of
dense, wear-resistant plastics used for abrasion or wear-resistant surface protection.
Usually a polypropylene or polyethylene plastic.
Wear Plate This term has two meanings on the 5000H:

• Plastic wear plates made of UHMW are found in the bark mover and flail housings.
These protect the metal housings and provide smooth operation for moving metal
parts.
• The chipper disk, on the knife side, is fully covered by a metal wear plate that slowly
wears down from logs being chipped. When this wear plate wears down, chip quality is
affected because it affects the position of logs in relation to chipper knives.

MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The 5000H Chipper combines material handling assemblies for feeding, debarking, and delimbing trees and logs,
and then chipping them and discharging the material. Power systems include the engine, clutch, hydraulics, and elec-
tronic controls.
Machine Summary ing where a reciprocating bark pusher moves it onto a

pile beside the 5000H.
The 5000H is a portable, diesel powered, self-contained
chip plant with a turret-mounted loader arm and grap-
ple. The machine is designed to reduce whole trees and
logs to high quality chips that are later processed into
paper products. Bark and limbs are removed in the pro-
cess. Various standard chip lengths can be produced to
satisfy the requirements of different pulp and paper
mills. The machine can be operated at fixed production
facilities as well as at remote wooded locations. Whole
trees from 2 to 23 inches (5.1 to 58.4 centimeters) in
diameter can be processed simultaneously.

Travel Features
The portable 5000H can be towed to remote regions
over paved or unpaved roads suitable for standard trac-
tor-trailer traffic. The machine meets all U.S. over-the-
road specifications. To reduce the machine dimensions
for travel, the 5000H operator’s cab can be tilted down-
ward, and the chip spout, the bark mover door, and the
log loader arm can be repositioned. For details, see
“Transporting the 5000H” on page 173.

and small limbs from the trees. For heavier debarking
and delimbing, an optional second upper flail is avail-
able. It rotates against the feed direction of the logs.
Upper flail units and the upper feed rolls are floated on
hydraulic cylinders. This float system allows processing
of logs of different diameters.
Bark Mover
Debris removed by the flails falls through the feed
chamber to the bark mover. The back-and-forth, recip-
rocating action of the bark mover pushes the debris out
each side of the machine where the debris piles on the
F06079 ground.

Safety Summary
Safe operation requires understanding the hazards that
exist, the techniques for avoiding unsafe situations, and
the features and devices of the machine that support
using it safely.
Hazards: When operating the machine, the main haz-
ards arise from movement of machine parts, the possi-
bility of fire, and flying or falling materials. The risk
levels from these hazards are increased by limited visi-
bility and communications around the machine.

Stored Energy
Some machine systems retain stored energy after the
engine has shut down and the battery disconnect switch
has been locked out. Accidental release of this energy
can cause serious injury or death.
The following sources of stored energy are discussed in
this section:
• Inertia of the chipper disk
• Falling objects
• Jams or blockage
• Pressurized gases and fluids
• Electrical energy
Inertia of the Chipper Disk

The chipper disk continues to rotate after the machine
shuts down because of its large mass and free rotation.
Do not expose any part of your body to the moving disk.
You may suffer an injury, including amputation of fin-
gers, hand, or toes.
F05314 In the same way, the chipper disk drive belts move

5000H Support System

Errors during the hitching process can cause the 5000H
to suddenly shift or drop when the its front end is being
raised for hitching to a towing vehicle.

The 5000H can sink when parked on weak, compress-

ible or unstable ground. Hydraulic system leaks or dam-
age related to the landing gear can cause the 5000H to
drop.
Safety Locking Stops and Pins

The following safety pins and locking stops are chained
to the machine near the points where they are used:
• Two safety pins for the upper debarker feed roll
housing
• Two safety pins for each upper flail housing
• Two safety pins for the chipper feed roll housing
• One chipper disk safety pin
• One chipper hood safety pin
1 DANGER
Always use safety pins. The upper feed rolls and
the upper flail housing(s) can cause serious and
fatal crushing injuries if they drop onto someone
working under them. As these housings move up
and down, they can also cause injuries on the
sides where the housing frame slides past the
machine frame.
The location of the safety pin for the chipper feed roll,
the upper flail housing(s) and the upper debarker feed
roll are shown in Figure 29 on page 38 and Figure 30 on
page 39. The chipper disk and chipper hood safety pins
are shown in Figure 34 on page 42.
The safety pins are used to hold the flail housings, feed
roll housings, and the chipper hood in the raised posi-
tion during inspections and maintenance. For the hous-
ings, be sure to use both pins, one on each side of the
machine.
After they are installed, pins can come out if not secured
by the weight of the housing. It is important to lower the
housing onto the pins as soon as the pins are installed.
Each time the housing is raised and lowered back onto
the pins, re-inspect the pins to ensure that they are fully
inserted.

Securing the Chipper Hood

The chipper hood, when fully opened and when the
machine is level, comes to rest at a point where its cen-
ter of gravity stabilizes it and prevents it from swinging
down. Also, the hood hydraulic cylinder helps keep the
hood open.
Do not loosen the hood clamp or bolts that secure the
chipper disk hood until the chipper disk has stopped
rotating and has come to a complete stop.
Do not open the chipper hood when the machine is not
level.
Always insert the hood safety pin immediately after
raising the chipper hood. Keep the pin locked in posi-
tion until the hood is closed.
◆ To open the chipper hood:

1. Make sure the clutch is disengaged and the chipper
disk is not rotating. (The disk sheave and drive belt
must not be rotating.) F05398
2. Shut down and lock out the machine. Figure 33: Chipper Hood Switch

A safe workplace requires meeting the following condi-

tions:
is operated.
Training: Do not operate this machine unless you have
been trained in its safe use.
Crowding: Do not stand or walk near the loader when
it is loading the 5000H with logs.
Cleanliness: Use of high pressure air to clean the
machine of debris or for other maintenance activities
can be hazardous. Wear eye protection. Debris or small
objects can be blown with enough force to injure or
blind. Use only reduced pressure nozzles or other means
of keeping air pressures at or below 30 psi (2.1 bar).
This pressure is recommended by OSHA (in the U.S.)
as the maximum safe air pressure to use for cleaning
dust and debris from the machine.
Ventilation: Engine exhaust contains products of
combustion that are harmful to health. The engine uses
available oxygen, replacing it with toxic gasses. Always
start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. In
enclosed areas, vent engine exhaust outside. Ensure that
airborne concentrations of exhaust emissions do not
exceed current health standards.
Motor Oil: Used and hot motor oil vapors can be haz-
ardous. Inhaling vapors or swallowing oil can be dan-
gerous. Avoid prolonged contact with used motor oil.
Lifting: Avoid heavy lifting to prevent back injury and
muscle strains. Avoid twisting or over-reaching, espe-
cially when lifting or carrying heavy weights. When
work requires heavy lifting, get help or use mechanical
assistance.

Practice Safe Behaviors

A safe workplace requires practicing the following
behaviors:
First aid: Keep a well-stocked, accessible first aid kit
on site.
Inspect properly: Consider transporting the machine
to a shop or enclosed area for periodic inspection.
Double up: Although one person can start and stop
the 5000H, a good safety practice is to have more than
one person at a work site.
Instruct personnel: The owner and operator must
make sure that support personnel, observers, or others
needing to enter the operating area or work site are
aware of potential hazards and are properly trained in
safe approaches to it. Admit only authorized personnel
to the operating zone.
Communicate visually: Anyone needing to enter
the work area while the 5000H is operating must make
eye contact or other confirmed communication with the
operator, signaling their intent to approach. They should
approach only when it is safe to do so.
Stand back: Before starting the machine, inspect the
area for people and potential hazards. Make sure every-
one is well away from the operating area before starting
the diesel engine. Allow only trained personnel in haz-
ard zones. To estimate safe distances, see “Operating
and Hazard Zones” on page 55.
Shout warnings: Before starting up, follow the rec-
ommended warning procedures of your site. Typically,
shout a loud warning, and then wait and listen for 10
seconds before starting the machine.
Stay alert: After the 5000H is running at the required
speed, it can be left to run under the supervision of the
loader operator who feeds material to it. Other trained
support personnel may need to be in the operating area.
Everyone must remain alert and actively avoid hazards.
Sound the horn: Use the horn as needed to alert oth-
ers and to communicate. The Horn buttons allow the
operator, chip van driver, or others to signal to anyone
in the area that important safety-related events are about
to occur, such as starting up the engine or moving a
component. Horn buttons are mounted in the cab, at the
Spout and Leveling Control Panel (JB3), and at the
Engine Control Panel (JB2).

Safety Labels
Pedestrians need to use caution in traffic paths. Hazard alert, instruction, and safety decals are attached
to the 5000H for your safety. Decals remind operators
and other workers not to expose themselves to risks of
crushing, pinching, or trapping caused by rotating, mov-
ing, or unguarded parts and other hazards. Some decals
also serve as reminders to lock out the power source.
Other labels and decals attached to the 5000H describe
recommended operating or maintenance activities and
other useful information. A complete list of decals,
labels, and legend plates is available in your 5000H
Parts Book. If the decals have been removed or become
unreadable, call your Peterson distributor for replace-
ments.

OPERATING THE 5000H

Operating procedures, inspection checklists, and important safety messages comprise the instructions for operating
the chipper through three phases of activity: getting started, running the machine, and finishing up.
Getting Started Log Delivery: Delivery vehicles must arrange logs

parallel to each other. The trunk end of the logs must be
placed near the feed area of the 5000H.
This topic provides instructions for getting the chipper
ready for operation. Be sure to follow safety procedures. Log Sorting: Crooked logs, over- and under-sized

Setting Brakes and Chocks
1 WARNING
Serious physical injury. Possible vehicle move-
ment if air pressure in the brake system is lost.
Chock the wheels whenever the 5000H is parked.
On sloped ground, the wheels must be chocked
even when the landing gear are extended.
Compressed air between 60 and 120 psi (4.1 and 8.3 bar
or 415 and 830 kPa) is required in the brake system for
the wheel brakes to remain engaged. Over a period of 7
days or less, the loss of air pressure in the brake system
causes the brakes to release, which allows the 5000H to
roll.
The air brake system is charged with compressed air
when the air lines from a towing vehicle are connected
to the 5000H. To prevent rolling of the 5000H, always
chock the wheels. During machine operation, raise the
machine off the wheels by extending the stabilizers near
the rear wheels of the 5000H.

engine speed is 2150 RPM, try setting it to 2050 RPM.
Loading Logs in an Overlapping

Pattern
As the last part of a log enters the chipper, it bounces
F01310
around while being chipped, because it is too short to be
controlled by the chipper feed rolls. As these free ends
bounce around, they approach the chipper knives at
wrong angles. The resulting chips are of poor quality. If
long logs are present, you can use them to keep shorter
free ends aligned as they are chipped. To improve chip
quality, load logs using an overlapping technique.
To overlap, load new logs while the ends of the previ-

Prevent Fires
The 5000H can be consumed by fire. Keep wood debris
and combustible liquids away from hot surfaces and
from under the 5000H. While operating the machine,
follow the guidelines in “Fire Prevention and Suppres-
sion” on page 48.
At the end of each shift, use compressed air to clean
wood debris off the engine and nearby surfaces.
Monitor Critical Temperatures and Pressures

Monitor the following critical temperatures and pres-
sures.
Engine Speed: After chipping begins, keep the
engine speed greater than 1750 RPM. A normal engine

higher temperatures on initial start-up than after they
have run a few hours.
If grease level is insufficient, add the proper amount of
grease in any bearings except the chipper shaft bearings.
If overheating occurs in either of the chipper shaft bear-
ings, have a qualified service specialist check each bear-
ing housing for the proper amount of grease.
IMPORTANT: If a chipper bearing housing con-

tains too much grease, the excess must be
removed. Excess grease can cause the chipper
bearings to malfunction and overheat.

• Inlet Air Low Temperature

The sensor for the inlet air temperature controls the
charge air cooler fan.
The hydraulic fan calculates its speed by comparing the
current temperatures of the clutch, the engine coolant,
and the hydraulic oil. The fan evaluates these three tem-
peratures within their ranges of low to high settings,
looking for the temperature that is highest in its range
percentage-wise. The fan then runs at this relative
speed, between 10% and 100%.
Here is an example. The temperature range is set at 100
to 200 degrees F (the low and high settings), and the
actual temperature is 150 degrees F. In that case, the fan
runs at 50% of full speed. If the temperature is 175
degrees F, the fan runs at 75%. However, the hydraulic
fan actually considers three different sources of temper-
ature: the clutch, the engine coolant, and the hydraulic
oil. Accordingly, the fan speed is based on the source
with highest percentage temperature. If one source
wants the fan to run at 40%, one at 50%, and one at
60%, the fan will run at 60%.

temperature, raising this value may help.

1 WARNING
Avoid serious physical injury if the machine
moves. Chock the wheels whenever the machine
is parked. On sloped ground, chock the wheels
even when the landing gear on the front of the
machine and the stabilizers on the rear of the
machine are extended.
For information about unhitching the machine from the
towing vehicle, see “Unhitching from the Tow Truck”
on page 68.
F06064

6. Make sure all tires are fully inflated to the pressures

recommended by the tire manufacturer. Inflation
specifications are located on the tire sidewalls.
7. Check the clearance height of the machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed height restrictions.

The joint where the loader arm stick and
boom are joined is usually the highest point
on the 5000H when it is configured for travel.
In many areas of the United States, heights
above 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 meters) require
special towing procedures. When the loader
arm is properly positioned, and when it is
hitched to a towing vehicle, the overall height
of the 5000H is 13 ft 6 in. (4.11 m). With some
towing vehicles, the height may be greater.
IMPORTANT: Avoid bark mover damage. The

bark mover housing is 8 to 10 in. (20 to 25 cm)
from the ground. When towing the 5000H, the
bark mover can be damaged by high points in
the road, including some raised railroad
crossings. Avoid roadways with high protru-
sions.
◆ To secure the machine at the destination:

Chock the 5000H wheels after disconnecting the
machine from the towing vehicle.
