Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
1.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
2.
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
3.
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
4.
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
5.
ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors.
6.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or
7.
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½
8.
inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel
expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
9.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
10.
Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, leaves,
11.
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel soaked debris.
Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
12.
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water
heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.

Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the
1.
feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with
the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and
feet.
Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute,

3.
any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects
which could cause personal injury or damage to the
machine.
If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine
4.
should start making an unusual noise or vibration,
immediately shut the engine off. Allow the impeller to
come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
ground it against the engine and perform the following
steps:
Inspect for damage.
a.
Repair or replace any damaged parts.

discharge and result in kickback of material through the
feed opening.

or machine damage could result.
Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge
