TRAIN YOURSELF ON THE CHIPPER

instructions included in this manual and in the
machine before assembling and putting it into
operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference, as well as for ordering spare parts
or performing service.

of age should operate this equipment.
4. Without receiving appropriate instructions,
do not allow anyone to operate this machine.
5. Do not turn ON the chipper in closed spaces or
in an area with poor ventilation. Exhaust gases
from the engine contain carbon monoxide, a
lethal gas which is odorless.
6. Use appropriate protective equipment on each
operation.
7. Don't put your hands close to the parts that
are in motion or inside the feed hopper
-as indicated in the prints - when in
operation. Be careful not to touch any surface
which is heated during the operation
and remains as such for a long time after the wood
chipper is shut down.
8. Stay away from the discharge, wood
debris is expelled with great speed that can
produce facial or body damage.
9. Do not operate the chipper if its belt guard is
removed.
10. Keep the bystanders away from the chipper
while it is running. Do not allow the
presence of minors in the work area. Stop the
machine if anyone enters the area.
11. Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark
plug before servicing the equipment.
12. Always operate the chipper coupled to the
vehicle. DO NOT operate the chipper on its trailer
jack as it is not safe; there is no way to lock the jack
in position.
13. Never stop paying attention to the chipper
while in operation. If you need to check for
something on the chipper or outside the chipping
area, throttle down engine until clutch is
disengaged, allow rotor to come to a full stop and
turn off the chipper.
TRAIN YOURSELF ON THE TRAILER
1. Always comply with the law regarding towing,
lightning and stowing of the equipment before
going on the road.
2. All trailer nuts are safety hex nut, that is, they are
fitted with a nylon seal that prevents the nut from
getting loose on time. If for any reason you must
loosen one of these nuts, please make sure you
replace with a new safety hex nut (commonly
available) as the old nylon seal is no longer reliable
to hold the nut in place.
3. Make sure to check lightning, all side marker
lights, license plate light, tail and stop/turn lights.
4. Always maintain a good tire pressure per
manufacturer specifications.
5. Always make sure the trailer jack is properly
stowed before moving.
6. Always check coupler setup and make sure the
safety tow chain is properly secured on the trailer
and the truck before moving.
7. Always make sure that the trailer is riding in level
with the road. Never tow at extreme angles.
8. Avoid towing in inclement weather unless really
necessary.
9. Always plan your trip beforehand. Make sure that
the trailer will go through tight access ways.
10. Check periodically the wheel inner bearing
lubrication, particularly on long travel services. Pay
attention if the wheels are getting abnormally hot.
11. When driving always maintain a proper speed;
and save your distance from the car upfront.
Sudden and hard braking may make your trailer
skid sideways.
