6.7 Operating Safety
• Read and heed the safety signs on the 3 Point
Hitch Wood Chipper. Clean or replace all
safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and
understood. They are there for your safety, as
well as the safety of others. The safe use of this
machine is strictly up to you, the operator.
• Study this manual to make sure you have all safety
equipment attached. All things with moving parts
are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for
a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes
potential hazards and follows reasonable safety
practices. The manufacturer has designed this 3
Point Hitch Wood Chipper to be used with all its
safety equipment properly attached, to minimize
the chance of accidents.
• Close and secure rotor cover before operating.
• Close and secure all guards, deflectors and shields
before starting and operating.
• Read and understand operator's manual before
starting. Review safety instructions annually.
• Use Personal protection equipment including
hearing protection, hard hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, and gloves during assembly, installation,
operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
removal, or moving of this equipment. Do not allow
long hair, loose-fitting clothing, or jewelry to be
around moving parts.
• Keep hydraulic lines and fittings tight, in good
condition and free of leaks.
• Never place any part of your body where it would
be in danger if movement of equipment should
occur during assembly, installation, operation,
maintenance, repairing, unplugging or moving.
• Turn machine off, stop and disable engine, remove
and retain ignition key, set park brake and wait
for all moving parts to stop before servicing,
adjusting, repairing or unplugging the chipper.
Inspect machine for damaged or loose parts before
resuming work.
• Do not run machine inside a closed building to
prevent asphyxiation from engine exhaust.
• Use care when feeding material into chipper. Do
not put metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other
foreign material into the wood chipper. If these
materials enter the chipper, stop machine, turn
engine off and remove ignition key before clearing
the object.
