SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Before attempting any type of maintenance,
disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a
complete stop, turn o󰀨 engine, remove the ignition key,
make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install
the disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
ALWAYS install the disc/drum lock pin to prevent
inadvertent rotation. On disc chippers insert lock pin
through lock pin tube on the belly band under hood
rest. On drum chippers insert lock pin through lock
pin tube on side of drum housing.
Simply slide the lock pin into the disc/drum lock
tube. This is to ensure that the chipper disc/drum
cannot be started while you are working inside the
machine. If for some reason the chipper disc/drum
would start to turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.
DO NOT remove the hood pin until the chipper
disc/drum has came to a complete stop
. The chipper
disc/drum will coast for several minutes after the
engine is shut down. Always wait at least several
minutes.
DO NOT operate this machine without the Hood
Pin in place. Do not operate the machine with any
type of makeshift hood pin or an improperly installed
hood pin! The Hood Pin MUST be padlocked.
DO NOT operate the machine with the chipper
hood open under any circumstances.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow the
battery time to warm up. If the machine must be start-

machine is going to be operated in excessively cold
conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery may be
needed to ensure proper and prompt starting. Never
use jumper cables in a con ned or unventilated area.
Battery acid fumes are explosive. Battery acid can
cause severe burns. Never expose an open  ame
or spark near the battery. Keep all burning materials
away from the battery. When servicing the battery,
shield eyes and face, and do not smoke. Service in
a well ventilated area.
Keep the machine in good condition. Be sure the
machine is in good operating condition and that all
safety devices, including guards and shields are
