SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Before attempting any type of maintenance,
disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a
complete stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key,
make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install
the disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
ALWAYS install the disc/drum lock pin to prevent
inadvertent rotation. On disc chippers insert lock pin
through lock pin tube on the belly band under hood
rest. On drum chippers insert lock pin through lock
pin tube on side of drum housing.
Simply slide the lock pin into the disc/drum lock
tube. This is to ensure that the chipper disc/drum
cannot be started while you are working inside the
machine. If for some reason the chipper disc/drum
would start to turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.
DO NOT remove the hood pin until the chipper
disc/drum has came to a complete stop. The chipper
disc/drum will coast for several minutes after the
engine is shut down. Always wait at least several
minutes.
DO NOT operate this machine without the Hood
Pin in place. Do not operate the machine with any
type of makeshift hood pin or an improperly installed
hood pin! The Hood Pin MUST be padlocked.
DO NOT operate the machine with the chipper
hood open under any circumstances.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
If the machine is going to be operated in excessively
cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery
may be needed to ensure proper and prompt
starting. Never use jumper cables in a confi ned or
unventilated area. Battery acid fumes are explosive.
Battery acid can cause severe burns. Never expose
an open fl ame or spark near the battery. Keep all
burning materials away from the battery. When
servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and do
not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.
Keep the machine in good condition. Be sure the
machine is in good operating condition and that all
safety devices, including guards and shields are
installed and functioning properly. Visually inspect
the machine daily before starting the machine. Refer
to the “Daily Start Up & Maintenance”. Make no
modifi cations to your equipment unless specifi cally
recommended or requested by Bandit Industries Inc.
Avoid moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from power driven parts. Keep all guards and
shields in place and properly secured.

wires, stones, nails, metal objects, or any foreign
object which may damage the knives and become
