Chipper/Shredder
R
SAFETY WARNING!
Failure to understand and obey these
Safety Guidelines may result in injury to
you or others.
Before Operation
• Check feed housings for children, pets
and foreign objects before operating.
• Check to ensure that all belt guides
are in place to prevent belts from slip-
ping off the pulleys and systems from
being accidentally engaged.
During Operation
• Wear approved eye and ear protection
while operating the Chipper/Shredder.
• Keep all guards in place during opera-
tion.
• Never operate the Chipper/Shredder
with safety shields removed.
• Never allow hands, clothing or any
part of the body to enter the discharge
chute, feed chamber or near any
moving parts.
• When placing material into the ma-
chine, make certain there are no fore-
ign objects such as rocks, cans, bot-
tles or other hard materials included.
• Keep processed material from building
up in the discharge area, as this may
prohibit proper discharge and cause a
back-feed of material through the feed
opening.
• Keep the engine area clean from de-
bris and other accumulations.
• Keep all safety shields and guards in
place and in good working condition.
• Keep your face and all body parts
away from feed openings.
• Stay away from the discharge area
when machine is in operation.
• Always keep proper balance and foot-
ing, never overreach.
• If a foreign object should strike the
cutting mechanism of the machine and
cause an unusual noise or vibration,
shut the PTO engine off immediately
and allow it to come to a complete
stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug, or PTO from the
power unit, and then do the following:
1. Inspect for damage.
2. Repair or replace any damaged
parts.
3. Check for and tighten any loose
bolts, nuts, fasteners or parts.
• Never attempt to move or transport
Chipper/Shredder while engine or rotor
is still operating.
• If the Chipper/Shredder should be
come clogged, shut off the engine or
PTO and allow it to come to a com-
plete stop. Disconnect the spark plug
wire or PTO shaft before clearing de-
bris.
During Service
• Replace locknuts and locking screws if
they can be tightened without feeling
resistance for several turns before
they are completely tight. Replace
them with factory-authorized parts or
their equivalent.
• If hardware is not secure, or if some
of the hardware is over-tightened,
equipment failure may result, posing
possible safety hazards.
• Use genuine factory parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including
type, strength and material. Failure to
do so may result in product malfunc-
tion and possible injury to the operator
or others.
• To prevent possible eye injury, always
wear SAFETY GLASSES while servic-
ing the equipment
