MODEL 15XPC CE SAFETY PROCEDURES
Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous.
It is always necessary for your protection to be
extra careful and wear proper hand protection when
handling knives.
WARNING
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never turn the chipper drum by hand, always use
a pry bar or wood bar. Always rotate the chipper drum
backwards. Failure to do this could result in serious
injury.
Battery acid fumes are explosive. Never expose
an open flame 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; battery acid can cause severe burns.
Service in a well-ventilated area.
Do not go near hydraulic leaks. High pressure
oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury,
gangrene, or death. Avoid burns from fluid. Hot
fluid under pressure can cause severe burns. Do
not use fingers or skin to check for leaks. Lower
load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening
fittings. Relieve all pressure in the system before
disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other
work. Use a piece of cardboard to find leaks. Never
use your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to
ambient temperature before opening any coolant or
hydraulic oil system.
The knives must be securely fastened and
torqued in position. If one comes loose or breaks
during operation, the machine will be damaged and
someone may get injured.
The machine was built with a chipper hood
engine disable plug which disables the engine if it
is not installed properly with the hood pin holding
the chipper hood in the closed position. Correctly
installed and maintained, the engine will not start
or it will shut off if the chipper hood engine disable
plug is disconnected. The chipper hood must never
be opened, or pushed closed if the chipper drum is
turning.
Improperly adjusted or maintained line shear could
result in serious injury or death and damage to the
chipper.
Before performing maintenance on the machine
remove all debris, oil, grease, water, snow, ice, etc.
from all machine surfaces.
Explosion hazard: Ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier
diesel formulations with higher sulfur content.
Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion;
consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to
ensure the delivery system is in compliance with
fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
The winch line is under tension at times and could
suddenly release, snapping back into the operator
causing serious injury or death.
Never operate the hydraulic winch with the chipper
detached from the towing vehicle. The load may
move the chipper or pull the tongue off the support
blocking.
Most winch lines contain a metal hook at the end.
If the metal hook enters the infeed hopper, it could
be ejected out of the discharge chute at a high rate
of speed causing serious injury or death.
If used, the block and tackle, rigging, and
accessories must be sized appropriately, properly
maintained, and used by a trained professional.
Failure could result in serious injury or death.
Operation of this equipment may create sparks
that can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark
arrester may be required. The operator should
contact local fire agencies for laws or regulations
relating to fire prevention requirements.
