Wood Chipper

Familiarization

17

4.  Familiarization

BXC34 wood chippers cut limbs, and branches into wood chips. 
Power to operate the machine is provided by a gas engine.

4.1  New Operator

 WARNING!

Make sure that all operators understand how 

to set the machine to a safe condition before 

performing any service, maintenance, or storage 

preparation. For instructions, see 

Safe Condition 

on page 9

.

It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read 
this manual, and to train all other operators before they work 
with the machine. Follow all safety instructions.

Untrained operators are not qualified to use the machine. 

They can endanger themselves and others or damage property.

4.2  Training

Each operator must be trained on the correct operating 
procedures before using the machine. The 

Sign-Off Form on 

page 10

 can be used to keep a training record.

1. 

Review control locations, functions, and movement 
directions.

2. 

Move the machine to a large open area and allow the new 
operator to become familiar with control functions and 
machine responses.

3. 

When the new operator is familiar and comfortable with the 
machine, they can proceed with the work. 

4.3  Work Site Familiarization

It is the responsibility of the operator to be thoroughly familiar 
with the work site before starting work. Avoid unsafe situations 
and make every effort to prevent accidents. 

When you set up a work site, consider the following things:

• 

Avoid close or cramped workspaces. Make sure there is 
enough space and clearance for the machine and discharge 
material.

• 

Position the machine so prevailing winds blow engine 
exhaust fumes away from operator's location.

• 

Choose flat, level ground, and make sure the machine is 
level before operating it.

• 

Avoid muddy or soft ground where the machine support 
will sink. If soft ground is unavoidable, place boards or 
plates under the machine support to increase the surface 
area.

4.4  Operator Orientation

IMPORTANT!  When describing controls throughout this 
manual, the directions for left hand (LH), right hand (RH), 
backward, and forward are determined when standing at the 
hopper facing the direction of forward machine travel.

Direction of forward travel
