MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES SPECIFIC TO YOUR CHIPPER.
THIS IS NOT A WORKSHOP MANUAL.
The following guidelines are not exhaustive and do not extend to generally accepted standards of
engineering/mechanical maintenance that should be applied to any piece of mechanical equipment and the chassis
to which it is mounted.
Authorised Timberwolf service agents are fully trained in all aspects of total service and maintenance of Timberwolf
wood chippers. You are strongly advised to take your chipper to an authorised agent for all but the most routine
maintenance and checks.
Timberwolf accepts no responsibility for the failure of the owner/user of Timberwolf chippers to recognise generally
accepted standards of engineering/mechanical maintenance and apply them throughout the machine.
The failure to apply generally accepted standards of maintenance, or the performance of inappropriate maintenance
or modifications, may invalidate warranty and/or regulatory compliance, in whole or in part.
