SAFETY MAINTENANCE

machinery. A small amount of daily maintenance will make the weekly or monthly maintenance
much easier and less expensive. While maintaining your brush chipper, please follow the

COIL WIRE (on gasoline power units), DIS-
ENGAGE THE CLUTCH (if applicable), and
INSTALL THE DRUM LOCK PIN before at-
tempting any maintenance.

chipper housing without first making sure
the chipper drum has come to a complete
stop and power unit is off.

coolant, use caution when removing radia-
tor cap.

ing.
