5.4 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the FHM
3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper requires that each
operator reads and understands the using proce-
dures and all related safety precautions outlined
in this section. A pre-operation checklist is pro-
vided for the operator. It is important for both the
personal safety and maintaining good mechanical
condition that this checklist is followed.
Before operating the Wood Chipper and each time
thereafter, the following areas should be checked
off:
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule out-
line in the Maintenance Section.
2. Check the rotor, blades and twig-breaker.
Remove any twine, wire or other material that
has become entangled.
3. Check the condition and clearance of the twig-
breaker, rotor and stationary blades. Adjust or
replace as required.
4. Check that all bearings turn freely. Replace
any that are rough or seized.
5. Make sure that all guards and shields are in
place, secured and functioning as designed.
6. Check the condition of the curtain in the feed
hopper. It must be in good condition to pre-
vent chips from flying out.
