SAFETY OPERATION
MACHINE WARM-UP
NOTE: Most engines include a safety shutdown
system. This system will shut down if coolant tem-
perature is too high or oil pressure is too low. If
service is required, please contact your nearest
authorized dealer.
1. Check all engine fluids.
NOTE: On machines equipped with a permissive
start button, hold the button in, start the engine and
hold the permissive start button until oil pressure
reaches operating pressure (approx. 5 seconds).
2. Start the engine according to your Engine
Operator's Handbook, located in the rear
of this manual.
3. Let the engine idle according to your Engine
Operator's Handbook until the engine stabilizes.
CAUTION: Do not allow the engine to
idle with the clutch disengaged for no
longer than 2-3 minutes or failure to the
pilot bearing will occur.
4. Engage clutch at 600-800 RPM by slipping
(bumping) the clutch for a 2-3 second count.
Disengage the clutch handle, and allow the engine
to regain RPM, then fully engage the clutch
handle.
CHIPPING WOOD
1. Always position the throttle at full RPM while
chipping.
2. Feed material into infeed spout. Never allow
your hands to enter the infeed spout. Feed short
material by placing it on top of longer material
that is feeding into the chipper.
NOTE: For proper break-in, it is recommended that
you begin by feeding 2" - 3" diameter material into
the chipper and gradually work up to larger diameter
material during the first 4 - 8 hours of operation.
3. Observe gauges throughout operation.
4. Throttle engine down to 600-800 RPM before
disengaging clutch.
5. After the power is shut-off, the chipper drum will
coast for several minutes. Never loosen or
remove the chipper hood or attempt any
other maintenance until the drum and power
units are completely stopped.
