SAFETY INFORMATIONSAFETY INFORMATION
• Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when raising and moving implement. Make sure all persons
are clear of working area.
• Turning tractor too tight may cause implement to ride up on wheels. This could result in injury
or equipment damage.
• Visually inspect the infeed bin and the ywheel before applying power to ensure that the
chipper head is clear, all the bolts are clear, and the ywheel knives clear the ywheel housing
and the bed knife.
• Bystanders must be at a safe distance from chipper during operation.
• Children should NEVER operate, or be near the chipper during operation.
• Make sure the PTO shaft does not come apart or bottom out during the normal lifting range.
Damage resulting from an improperly sized PTO shaft is not covered under warranty.
• Check the chip pile to see if the knives need to be serviced. Long slivers in the chip pile are
one of the best indicators of dull knives.
• It is NOT recommended to operate the chipper in temperatures below freezing. Hardened
steel (as used on knives) can become brittle in temperatures below freezing and may result in
breakage.
•
Always keep the guards and chip deector installed properly while operating the chipper.
• Never leave the chipper running unattended.
• Do not attempt alterations, repairs, or adjustments while the ywheel is turning. Always
disconnect the PTO, stop the tractor’s motor, and put the keys in your pocket prior to
attempting any alterations, repairs or adjustments.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing and other extremities out of and away from the hopper (infeed
bin) and any power driven parts. Wear snug tting clothing to avoid entanglement with
moving parts.
• No loose clothing should be worn around the chipper. Personal injury can occur if someone
or something turns the ywheel over when the knives are being checked or the cutter bar is
being adjusted. The ywheel has enough residual energy to easily remove ngers.
• Point the discharge chute away from doorways, sidewalks, or any other area where your view
is obstructed. The chute should be pointed downwind when possible. This will keep the chips
from blowing back in the operator’s direction.
