hands getting caught. Use a stick or branch to
push in any material that does not move on its
own.
If jammed, stop the engine, wait for the rotor to
stop, then clear the jam.

chipper blades are very sharp. If reaching inside
is necessary, use extreme care.

The machine is designed to handle a wide range of materials.
However, in the event that material gets lodged in the machine,
follow this procedure to clear the jam:
1. Stop the machine.
For instructions, see Stop the Machine on page 27.

3. Pull all of the material out of the two hoppers.
4. Make sure that nothing is jammed or wedged between the
input opening and the rotor.
5. Pull all of the material out of the discharge hood.
Use a stick to poke any jammed material loose. Make sure
that the discharge chute is clear.

must be removed from inside the machine.

2. Remove the upper-housing retainer bolt, and then open the
upper housing.
