IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING TESTS
to check safety equipment - this sequence
of tests will only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are carried out daily.
Observing the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are working correctly. This is also
a good opportunity to remind all operators of the control and emergency stop systems.

BEFORE USING THE CHIPPER
This is situated on the side of the hydraulic oil tank. When the chipper is running
the oil temperature should not exceed 65
o
C. If it does, stop the machine
immediately. Failure to do so may result in damage. Overheating can result from
the chipper being worked extremely hard in hot conditions, as the oil is not getting
a chance to cool down. Stop the chipper and allow oil to cool before continuing.
If the temperature goes above 65
o
C and the machine is not being worked hard or
the air temperature is not particularly high this indicates low oil, a jammed hydraulic
motor or valve. Stop immediately and investigate.
HYDRAULIC OIL THERMOMETER / OIL LEVEL INDICATOR
When the chipper is on level ground the oil level should sit between the red line at the bottom of the
gauge and the blue line at the top. If this level drops significantly it indicates an oil leak. Stop
immediately and investigate.
