Safety Instructions
it has drawstrings which could wrap around or get
caught in the machine.
3. Operate the machine only on a level surface. Do
not operate the machine on a paved, concrete, or
hard gravel surface. Operating on a hard surface
may cause discharged material to rebound and
kickback. It will also cause increased machine
vibration. Increased vibration may cause the
machine to move and will promote premature wear
of parts or loosening of fasteners.
4. Before starting the machine, visually check that all
screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners are properly
secured. Once every 10 hours of operation, all
screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners should be
checked for proper tightness to insure everything is
in proper working condition.
Operation
One of the critical moments in job safety, as well as
chipper safety, is setting up your chipping site so you
are not endangered by traffic and the public is not
endangered by your work. Great care must be taken to
provide adequate warning by way of signs and coning,
if it is necessary to divert vehicle or pedestrian traffic.
A well-prepared traffic plan should include parking off
the highway whenever possible. The work area should
be coned off as soon as the chipper vehicle is stopped.
Avoid sudden traffic stops or lane changes. Do not
allow pedestrians to walk through the work area. Make
sure chips or dust do not blow into traffic, parked cars,
or pedestrians.
1. Before starting the machine, make certain that the
cutting chamber is empty.
2. When feeding chipable material into the machine,
be extremely careful to exclude pieces of metal,
rocks, bottles, cans, and other foreign objects.
3. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object
or if the machine should start making an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine
(or disengage PTO), and allow the machine to come
to a complete stop. After machine stops:
a) Inspect for damage.
b) Replace or repair any damaged parts.
c) Check for and tighten any loose parts.

Preparation
