SAFETY OPERATION
As an owner or operator of a Morbark chipper, you
know what a useful tool it is. With anti-burning and
anti-burying regulations spreading across the coun-
try, it is absolutely necessary that we have brush
chippers to dispose of and recycle brush and wood
waste.
We have done all we can do to manufacture the
safest chipper possible that will still do the job it is
intended for. But no matter how we build it, IT
CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT ISN'T USED
PROPERLY.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that
operators are properly trained and that they practice
safe operating procedures on the job.
These chippers are designed to give years of ser-
vice. Over the course of the life of the chipper, it
may have several owners and dozens of different
operators. It is vital that each new operator be
trained in safety and that even experienced opera-
tors be given safety reviews from time to time.
Safety is just too important to be taken lightly.
With proper information and commitment to safety
every day, your Morbark hand-fed chipper will
give you years of reliable, safe service.
1. Under no circumstances should any modifications be made without factory authorization. This
machine was designed to do a specific job and alterations could result in injury to the operator
or machine.
2. Never leave one person to work at the job site alone. If an accident occurred, someone
could suffer or even die before help arrived.
3. Keep bystanders away from the machine during operation. Only the operator should be
at the machine.
4. Be constantly aware of people and obstacles in your job area while operating the machine.
5. Never change or work on the chipper knives unless you wear gloves. The knives are very sharp
and can seriously cut you.
6. Always check the tail lights and turn signals before transporting machine.
7. Never tow the machine without safety chains securely attached.
8. Never smoke, weld or use any type of flame around the fuel tank.
9. Remember, do not attempt any maintenance without first removing the ignition key and installing
the disc lock pin.
