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 refer to 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 which is located in the rear
of this manual.
3. Let the engine idle at 750-800 RPM for no longer
than 2-3 minutes on a "cold start" or 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
occour.
4. Engage clutch at 750-800 RPM by slipping (bump
ing) 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" to 3" diameter material into
the chipper and gradually work up to larger diameter
material during the first 4 to 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 unit are
completely stopped.
Start the engine according to your
Engine Operators Manual.
Engage the clutch at 750-800 RPM.
Position the throttle at full RPM when chipping.
Never allow your hands to enter the infeed spout.
