Safety Rules & Information
Operating Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety.
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often attracted to the unit and usage activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter the area where you are operating, have another responsible adult watch them.

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you follow all the rules in this book, the unit is safe to operate.
The chipper/shredder has spinning blades that can amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running! Do not place hands or feet in the hopper or chipper cone, or discharge chute.

Safety Rules and Information
Thrown Objects
This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear protective goggles and do not operate without the debris bag in place. Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to starting work.
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.
2. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
3. Always use the hopper handle and built-in wheels to move the chipper/shredder. Never lift the unit using the fuel tank for support. If the unit must be lifted , always use at least two people, and always grip the unit securely using the front leg and hopper handle.
4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods.
5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.
6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
IGNITION SYSTEM
1. This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Safe Handling of Gasoline
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
2. Use only approved gasoline containers.
3. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
4. Never fuel the machine indoors.
5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as near a water heater or other appliance.
6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
