Safety

11

• 

Never consume alcoholic beverages or use 

drugs which can impair alertness or coordination 

while operating this equipment. Consult your 

doctor about operating this machine while taking 

prescription medications.

• 

Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. 

There is no safe place for any riders.

• 

Never allow children or unauthorized people to 

operate or be around this machine.

• 

Keep children and persons unfamiliar with 

machine operation away. The operator should be 

a responsible, physically able person trained in 

equipment operation. If the elderly are assisting 

with work, their physical limitations need to be 

recognized and accommodated.

• 

Do not reach into rotor or feed hopper openings 

when the engine is running. Install and secure 

access covers before starting engine.

• 

Keep the working area clean and free of debris to 

prevent tripping. Operate only on level ground.

• 

Do not point discharge at people, animals or 

buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough 

to cause injury.

• 

Do not move or transport chipper when the rotor is 

turning.

• 

Do not exceed a safe travel speed when 

transporting.

• 

Keep chipper resting on the ground during 

operation. Using the chipper while raised off the 

ground is dangerous and will result in damage to 

the machine, and potential personal injury.

• 

Never have the exit chute pointing towards the 

hopper or operator working area. Chips can come 

out of the chute with enough force to cause injury.

6.8  Equipment Safety Guidelines

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the 

main concerns in designing and developing equipment. 

However, every year many accidents occur which 

could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought 

and a more careful approach to handling equipment. 

You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by 

observing the following precautions in this section. 

To avoid personal injury or death, study the following 

precautions and insist those working with you, or for 

you to follow them.

In order to provide a better view, certain photographs 

or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly 

with a safety shield removed. However, equipment 

should never be used in this condition. Keep all shields 

in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for 

repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

1. 

Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is 

not readable or is missing. Location of such safety 

signs is indicated in this manual.

2. 

Do not modify the equipment in any way. 

Unauthorized modification may result in serious 

injury or death and may impair the function and life 

of the equipment.

3. 

In addition to the design and configuration of this 

implement, including Safety Signs and Safety 

Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention 

are dependent upon the awareness, concern, 

prudence, and proper training of personnel 

involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, 

and storage of the machine. 

Refer also to Safety 

Messages and operation instruction in each of the 

appropriate sections of the tractor and machine 

manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs 

affixed to the tractor and the machine.

4. 

Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. 

If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely is in 

question – 

DO NOT TRY IT
