temperature is too high or oil pressure is too low.
If service is required, please contact your nearest
authorized dealer.

start button, hold the button in, start the engine and
hold the permissive start button until oil pressure
reaches operating pressure (approx. 5 seconds.)
Check all engine uids.
WARNING: Make sure the chipper hood is
secured and latched before start-up
Start the engine according to your engine
operator’s handbook, located in the rear of
this manual.
Let the engine idle according to your engine
operator’s handbook until the engine stabi-
lizes.
