SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never reach into the infeed hopper area of the
machine. There is never any reason to. The
feedwheel(s) are designed to pull trees and brush of
any length into the machine. Pulling a hand, arm, foot
or entire body through the machine is much easier
than pulling a tree. Do not think you will be able to
pull yourself free of the feedwheel(s), they will not let
go. There is absolutely no reason to work inside of the
infeed hopper. If the feedwheel(s) become tangled or
clogged, stop the machine and wait several minutes
before cleaning them out. If there are short pieces, or
leaves and twigs, just leave them until feeding longer
pieces. While the long pieces are feeding, simply toss
the short pieces on top of them. The longer pieces
will take them on into the machine.
A wooden push paddle has been provided to assist
in feeding smaller material. It is the owner’s and
operator’s responsibility to use and keep a wooden
push paddle with the machine and to also secure it
when transporting the machine. DO NOT use any
body parts or any steel devices inside the infeed
hopper area.
If there is larger diameter wood, try to feed it with
smaller diameter wood. Start a small diameter limb
which will partially open the feedwheel(s). Once the
feedwheel(s) are partially open it is much easier to
insert the larger diameter wood.
When feeding larger diameter wood, listen for
the engine to possibly lug down. If it starts lugging
down stop the feedwheel(s) by pushing the hydraulic
control bar to off, and let the engine recover to full
speed. If the machine is equipped with Autofeed and is
functioning properly, the feed system will automatically
stop to let the engine recover. This will help stop the
machine from plugging the discharge chute.
Pay attention to the direction of the discharge chute
before chipping. Never stand in front of the chipper
discharge chute. Never direct the chute towards
anyone or anything that could cause an accident or
problems. Always stop chipping and warn anyone
that comes near the discharge area. Failure to do this
could result in severe injury. Wood chips flying out of
the discharge chute can be very dangerous!
Always block the tires and the machine tongue
whenever the machine is unhooked for operation.
DO NOT rely on the tongue jack for operational
stabilization.
NEVER sit, stand, lay, climb or ride anywhere
on this machine while it is running, operating, or in
transit. You will be injured.
DO NOT operate this machine unless all hydraulic
control devises operate properly. They must function,
shift and position smoothly and accurately at all times.
Faulty controls can cause personal injury!
Do not attempt to start the engine or engage the
engine PTO (power-take-off) system on this machine
if the chipper disc/drum is jammed or frozen in place.
If you do, you will damage or ruin the drive belts and/or
the PTO which will not be covered under warranty and
will cost you down time and money.

WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as anvil and
knife nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and fit.
Most of the nuts used on the machine are self
locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed five
times, it should be replaced to insure proper tightness.
This is especially critical on the chipper knife nuts and
bolts!
After the engine is started, let the chipper disc/drum
turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type
of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is
foreign. If you hear a noise, stop the engine, find the
problem and fix it.
