SAFETY PROCEDURES
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. Wood chips flying out of the discharge
chute can be very dangerous!
Never reach into the infeed hopper area of the
chipper. There is never any reason to. If you have
short pieces, or leaves and twigs, just leave them until
you are 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
chipper.
A wooden push paddle has been provided to assist
you in feeding smaller material. DO NOT use any
body parts or any steel devices inside the infeed
hopper area.
If you have larger diameter wood, try to feed it with
smaller diameter wood. Start a small diameter limb
which will partially open the feedwheels. Once the
feedwheels are partially open it is much easier to
insert the larger diameter wood.
If you are feeding larger diameter wood, listen for
the engine to possibly lug down. If it starts lugging
down stop the feedwheel by pushing the hydraulic
control handle to off, and let the engine recover to full
speed. This will stop the chipper from plugging the
discharge chute.
Always block the tires and the machine tongue
whenever the Bandit is unhooked for operation. DO
NOT rely on the tongue jack for operational
stabilization.
Always stand to the side of the infeed hopper when
inserting material. This will allow you to turn away
from the wood, and walk away, without passing through
the material. Chippers should be fed from curbside
(right side) whenever possible. Anytime an operator
is near infeed hopper, they must be within easy reach
of feed control devices.
To increase production, don’t waste time
watching the material being fed. Once the limbs have
started into the machine, you can walk away and get
more material.
Keep the feedwheel tension springs adjusted only
tight enough to keep the feedwheel teeth from
slipping on the material. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
This will overwork the hydraulic system, and make it
difficult to feed larger material.
Always start the larger end (base end) of the log or
branch into the feedwheels first.
Keep the engine R.P.M’s up whether you are
chipping brush or round wood. Lower R.P.M.’s will
cause weak throwing power, and can cause plugging
in the discharge.

condition, and all the guards are in place, tight and
secure.
Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of
working area. Never operate equipment that is in need
of repair or adjustment.

machine.
