Safety Instructions

This chipper is designed and tested to offer reasonably safe service. Failuretooperateitinaccordancewiththefollowingsafety instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!

A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.

Each safety message is proceeded by one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

BeforeOperating

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT or DAMAGE machine if you don't follow instructions.

Read the owners manual before operating this equipment.

Do not allow children to operate this equipment.

Do not operate this equipment in the vicinity of bystanders.

Do not allow hands—or any part of body or clothing— inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part.

Shut off the power source and make sure all moving parts are completely stopped before inspecting or servicing any part of the machine.

Preparation

Wear safety glasses at all times while operating the machine. One pair is provided with each chipper.

Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing. Never operate this machine wearing loose clothing particularly if it has drawstrings which can wrap around or get caught in the machine.

Operate the machine only on a level surface.

Do not operate the machine on a paved, concrete, or hard gravel surface. Operating on a hard surface causes discharged material to rebound and kickback. It will also cause increased machine vibration. Increased vibration causes the machine to move and will promote premature wear of parts or loosening of fasteners.

PN-51210 (Rev. 7/98)

2

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

Visually check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners are properly secured before starting the machine. Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners once every 10 hours of operation for proper tightness to insure everything is in proper working condition.

Operation

Empty the cutting chamber before starting the machine.

Exclude pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, and other foreign objects when feeding chipable material into the machine.

Shut off the engine or PTO and allow the machine to stop if the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if the machine starts making an unusual noise or vibration. After machine stops:

a)Inspect for damage.

b)Replace or repair any damaged parts.

c)Check for and tighten any loose parts.

Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge area; this may prevent proper discharge and result in kickback of material through the feed opening.

Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chambers, discharge chute, or near any moving part.

Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition.

Stand clear of the discharge area when operating this machine.

Keep your face and body back from the feed opening.

Do not over reach. Keep proper balance and footing at all times.

Do not transport or move machine while the machine is running.

Disengage PTO and shut off tractor engine if the machine becomes clogged. Allow machine to come to a complete stop before clearing debris.

WARNING: Keep body and clothing away from PTO shaft when running.

Connect 3 pt. hitch pins and snap pins, connect PTO shaft, and have leg stands solidly on the ground when in use.

Lock the rotor by inserting a bolt or punch through the locking holes on the side of the rotor housing before moving. To move unit: shut off PTO and lift 3 pt. hitch.

Keep guards and shields in place at all times while operating. Disengage tractor PTO and shut off engine before removing guards or shields.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from all PTO drive parts.

Never clean, lubricate, or adjust the chipper when it is running.

PN-51210 (Rev. 7/98)

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

Put transmission in neutral or park and disengage before starting tractor.

WARNING: This chipper is designed to be used with tractor PTO's rated at 20 to 60 horsepower. Using this chipper with PTO's above 60 horsepower may cause belt and machine damage in overload conditions.

Additional Safety Rules for PTO Models

Stay alert and pay attention when PTO chipper is operating.

Keep bystanders, especially children, away from the PTO driveline.

Connect 3 pt. hitch pins and snap pins, connect PTO shaft and have leg stands down and secure when in use.

Check the driveline to ensure it is attached securely to the tractor.

Keep guards and shields in place at all times while operating. Disengage tractor PTO and shut off engine before removing guards or shields.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from all PTO drive parts.

Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust the PTO when it is running.

Clothing worn by operator must be fairly tight. Never wear loose jackets, shirts, shirt sleeves or pants when working around PTO. Tie long hair back or put under a cap.

PN-51210 (Rev. 7/98)

4

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

Keep hydraulic hoses, electric cords, chains, and other items from contacting the driveline.

Make sure transmission is in neutral or park and PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor.

Do not exceed the recommended 540 RPM PTO operating speed.

Disconnect PTO and shut off tractor when this unit is stopped for servicing, inspection, storage, or to change an accessory.

Shut off the PTO, lift 3 pt. hitch, and adjust leg stands if needed to move the unit.

Read and follow instructions on PTO safety decals.

Do not operate this unit without the chipper chute correctly installed. Rotating cutting blades can cause serious personal injury.

1.Remove chipper from shipping crate. Place unit on a level surface before attempting to assemble. See torque chart for minimum tightening torque.

2.Mount the chipper chute to the frame mounting bracket using eight 3/8" x 1" bolts and locknuts. Use three bolts on each side and two on the bottom (see figure 1). Attach the chute directly to the hydraulic feed unit as described above for models with factory-installed hydraulic feed.
