4. Every 10 hours of operation, check the bolts on the
following for correct torque (75 ft. lbs.):
• Chipper rotor bearing
• Chipper blades (Use 5/16" bolts. Torque to 20 ft.
lbs.)
• Rotor paddles
• Chipper anvil
Failure to maintain proper fastening torque (75 ft.
lbs.) on bolts for the components listed above may
result in severe damage to the chipper and/or
personal injury!
5. Do not allow processed material to build up in the
discharge area; this may prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback of material through the
feed opening.
6. Do not attempt to operate the chipper with any of
the guards, deflectors, or shrouds removed. Keep
away from moving parts.
7. Keep all guards, deflectors, and shrouds in good
working condition.
8. Always stand clear of the discharge area when
operating this machine.
9. Keep your face and body back from the feed opening.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper balance and footing
at all times.
11. Do not transport or move machine while the ma-
chine is running.
12. If the machine becomes clogged, shut off engine.
Allow machine to come to a complete stop before
clearing debris.
Additional Safety Rules for Towing
1. Before towing, rotate the discharge tube to face in
the opposite direction of the vehicle that is towing
it. This will prevent the discharge tube from
projecting over the trailer wheels and striking
foreign objects.
2. Always connect hitch safety chains. Make sure
trailer hitch bolts are tight and secure. Do not
attempt to tow the trailer if vehicle is not equipped
with a 2" ball.
3. Maximum towing speed should not exceed 55
M.P.H. Inflate tires to manufacturer's specifications
as stated on the tire sidewall. Check wheel lug bolts
periodically to be sure they are tight and secure.
4. Make sure that the jack stand on trailer is in the UP
position to clear the ground during towing. Place
the jack stand on a level surface and secure it in the
DOWN position before use.
5. Never allow passengers to ride on the infeed chute
while the vehicle is moving, whether the chipper is
running or not.
Additional Safety Rules for PTO Models
1. Always have leg stands solidly on the ground when
in use.
2. Before moving, allow machine to come to a com-
plete stop. To move unit: shut off PTO, and lift 3 pt.
hitch.
3. Keep guards and shields in place at all times while
operating. Always disengage tractor PTO and shut
off engine before removing guards or shields.
4. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from all PTO
drive parts.
5. Before starting tractor, always make sure transmission
is in neutral or park and PTO is disengaged.
Maintenance and Storage
1. When this equipment is stopped for servicing,
inspection, storage, or to change an accessory, make
sure that the spark plug is disconnected.
2. Store the machine out of the reach of children and
where fuel vapors will not reach an open flame or
spark. For storage periods of three months or more,
drain the fuel and
dispose of it in a
safe manner.
Always allow the
machine to cool
before storing.
