GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHIPPER
• Please make sure any machine operator has the
required personal protective equipment: safety
helmet, protective goggles, cut resistant safety
boots and required protective clothing.
• The chipper must not be used without being
mounted to a tractor. It is prohibited to mount the
chipper to another power source.
• It is not permitted to operate the chipper without
feed unit or feed hopper.
• Indoor operation of the chipper is prohibited.
• Always keep a safe distance to the discharge posi-
tion of the chips.
• Detach the chipper from the tractor before perfor-
ming any maintenance or repair works.
• Do not remove, lock, disable or modify in any ot-
her way the stop lever of the feed unit.
• The feed hopper or the feed unit must not be
mounted at a higher or lower position as this
would impede the stop lever function.
• Note that the loader boom can be lowered or
tilted even if the engine has been shut down. Ne-
ver allow anyone to get under the raised load or
the loader boom.
• Always lower the attachment on the ground befo-
re leaving the driver's seat.
• Check the general condition of the attachment
and the loader, and check for possible hydraulic
oil leaks. The attachment must not be used, if the-
re is a fault in the hydraulic system of the loader
or the attachment. Keeping the equipment clean
reduces the likelihood of blockages.
• Always transport the attachment as low and close
to the ground as possible. Note the effect of heavy
load at the front of the loader to the stability and
handling of the loader.
• Choose a level and well lit working site, which can
carry the load of the equipment and the logs.
• The operating area must be even and it must not
be slippery. Clear the area from any obstacles that
could cause a tripping hazard.
• Operate the log cutter/splitter in daylight or out-
door area with good artificial light.
• Ensure that the loader and the attachment are
used in a safe and intended manner.
• Smoking near the operating area is prohibited.
• Do not allow children to operate the equipment.
