*If equipped
As the Limited Warranty states, failure by the Owner to perform normal maintenance will void the machine’s warranty. The aggressive,
high-speed nature of chipping REQUIRES THE OWNER TO PERFORM THE ABOVE LISTED NORMAL MAINTENANCE. Special
consideration to maintain and re-torque the CHIPPER ANVIL, CHIPPER BLADES, AND ALL INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NUTS AND
BOLTS is the sole responsibility of the Owner. Failure by the Owner to do so shall be cause for denial of warranty.
