SAFETY OPERATION
When refueling the chipper, always be certain
there is no open flame or source of a spark in
the vicinity of the machine.
Always remove the ignition key when the
machine is left unattended for any reason.
No one should ever operate the chipper when
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or pre-
scription medications which could in any way
affect the operator's performance and concen-
tration.
When the chipper is attached to a vehicle,
never attempt to feed material until the vehicle
has come to a complete stop, the parking
brake is applied and the driver has exited the
vehicle.
When the chipper is attached to an aerial lift
truck, always be aware of any power lines in
the vicinity. If the bucket should come in
contact with power lines for any reason, the
current could travel through the truck to the
chipper. Never operate or touch the chipper
until all aerial operations in the vicinity of
power lines are completed.
Whenever possible, the chipper should be set
up on level ground.
Never stand in front of the chipper discharge
chute. Never direct the flow of chips towards
anyone. Flying wood chips are very danger-
ous.
Never just turn the engine off and leave the
key in the ignition. If the key is accidentally
left in the "on" position, the engine can start
while the chipper drum is being turned by
hand.
Whenever the chipper belt drive guard is
removed for service, replace it after you have
finished. Guards are built for your protection.
USE THEM.
Never attempt to do any type of maintenance
on the machine while the engine is running.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE IGNITION
KEY.
