The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION determine the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual. The appropriate signal word for each message in this manual has been selected using the following guidelines:
DANGER –
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment protection with personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage to the machine.

6.7 Operating Safety

Read and heed the safety signs on the 3 Point
Hitch Wood Chipper. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are there for your safety, as well as the safety of others. The safe use of this machine is strictly up to you, the operator.
Study this manual to make sure you have all safety equipment attached. All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices. The manufacturer has designed this 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached, to minimize the chance of accidents.
Close and secure rotor cover before operating.
Close and secure all guards, deectors and shields
before starting and operating.
Read and understand operator's manual before starting. Review safety instructions annually.
Use Personal protection equipment including hearing protection, hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving of this equipment. Do not allow
long hair, loose-tting clothing, or jewelry to be
around moving parts.
Keep hydraulic lines and ttings tight, in good
condition and free of leaks.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement of equipment should occur during assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, repairing, unplugging or moving.
Turn machine off, stop and disable engine, remove and retain ignition key, set park brake and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging the chipper. Inspect machine for damaged or loose parts before resuming work.
Do not run machine inside a closed building to prevent asphyxiation from engine exhaust.
Use care when feeding material into chipper. Do not put metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other foreign material into the wood chipper. If these materials enter the chipper, stop machine, turn engine off and remove ignition key before clearing the object.

Safety
Never consume alcoholic beverages or use drugs which can impair alertness or coordination while operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.
Never allow children or unauthorized people to operate or be around this machine.
Keep children and persons unfamiliar with machine operation away. The operator should be a responsible, physically able person trained in equipment operation. If the elderly are assisting with work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
Do not reach into rotor or feed hopper openings when the engine is running. Install and secure access covers before starting engine.
Keep the working area clean and free of debris to prevent tripping. Operate only on level ground.
Do not point discharge at people, animals or buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough to cause injury.
Do not move or transport chipper when the rotor is turning.
Do not exceed a safe travel speed when transporting.
Keep chipper resting on the ground during operation. Using the chipper while raised off the ground is dangerous and will result in damage to the machine, and potential personal injury.
Never have the exit chute pointing towards the hopper or operator working area. Chips can come out of the chute with enough force to cause injury.

6.8 Equipment Safety Guidelines

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing equipment. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury or death, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you to follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be used in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
1. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not readable or is missing. Location of such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
2. Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.
3. In addition to the design and conguration of this
implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety
Messages and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor and machine manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
afxed to the tractor and the machine.
4. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely is in question – DO NOT TRY IT..

6.9 Safety Training

1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. The best safety feature is an informed, careful operator—we ask you to be that kind of an operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read, understand and follow ALL safety and operation instructions in the manual. Accidents can be avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual before assembly or using the machine to acquaint yourself with it. If this machine is used by any person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented, it is the machine owner's responsibility to make certain that prior to using, the operator:
- reads and understands the owner's manual
- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
- understands and knows how to perform the Safe Condition procedure
5. Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will use the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all use and safety instructions is not
qualied to use the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with the work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

6.10 Maintenance Safety

Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing any service, maintenance work or storage preparation. See Safe Condition on page 9
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Follow good shop practices.
Keep service area clean and dry.
Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
Use adequate light for the job at hand.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working on this machine, set the brake and turn the engine off.
Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely.
Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any service or maintenance work. Use heavy or leather gloves when handling blades.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must be used to restore
your equipment to original specications. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/ or accessories.
A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this equipment.
6. Know your controls and how to stop the machine and the tractor quickly in an emergency. Read this manual thoroughly..
Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all electrical and fuel connections are properly secured.
When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed before placing unit in service.
