Service Schedule for routine maintenance and when to take the machine to a service

specialist. For engine maintenance, please refer to the engine manual supplied with

this machine.

This machine has been through a pre-delivery inspection before leaving the factory

and is ready to use.

Before use and as a minimum, the safety and machine operation

sections covered on pages 4 to 21 must be read and understood.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or loss of life to the

operator and others nearby.Also, damage to property and this machine may

Safety

Safe working

Before using this machine, make sure that you are trained and fluent in its operation.

Know the location of and how to use all the safety features. Know how to control the

feed and stop the machine in an emergency. Be familiar with the hazards and safe

working practices to prevent injury and damage to property and machine. Also be

aware of the legal restrictions for personnel and towing with vehicles.

1. The minimum age for service personnel is 18 years. Personnel aged 16 can

use the machine for training under supervision by a suitably trained person of

18 years or over.

2. Operators and personnel working with this machine must not be under the

influence of alcohol, drugs or medication that would impair judgement,

concentration or reaction times. Excessive tiredness is also a risk.

3. In use, woodchip and debris are ejected with considerable force from the

chute and can travel up to 10m. Make sure the chute directs woodchip to a

safe location so that no one can be harmed or property damaged. Do not

allow discharge to be directed onto roads or public rights of way.

4. Maintain a 10m exclusion zone around the machine and clearly mark if in a

public area. Keep this area free of material build up.

5. Make sure the machine is on even, level and stable ground and cannot move

or topple when in use. Use wheel chocks if necessary.

6. Keep children and animals well away from the working area.

7. The machine operator must wear protective equipment:

a. Chainsaw safety helmet (EN 397) with mesh visor (EN 1731).

b. Correctly rated ear defenders (EN 352).

c. Work gloves with elasticated wrist bands.

d. Steel toe cap boots (EN 345-1).

e. Close fitting heavy duty non-snag clothing. Hi-viz clothing (EN 471) if

needed.

f. Protect breathing with a face mask if appropriate. Some plant material

can give off harmful dust and poisonous vapours. This may cause

respiratory problems or serious poisoning. Check the material to be

processed before starting.

g. DO NOT wear rings, bracelets, watches, jewellery or anything that

could be caught on the material being fed and draw you into the

machine.

P a g e | 8

8. All personnel operating or feeding material into the machine must wear heavy

duty non-snag clothing to help prevent being caught on material and drawn

into the machine. The feed mechanism of this machine uses high powered

hydraulic motors to drive sharp toothed rollers that feed material into the

cutting blades. DO NOT take risks with it. NEVER ASSIST ANY MATERIAL

INTO THE FEED ROLLERS WITH HANDS OR FEET.Use a push stick or a

further long piece of material if necessary.

9. Never climb onto the hopper area while the machine is in operation.

10.Caution! –Keep hands and feet outside hopper. Do not attempt to force

material into the machine by hand –use a piece of wood if necessary.

11.Material can be forcibly ejected from the hopper towards the operator. Ensure

full head and face protection is worn.

12.Very twisted material should be trimmed into manageable pieces. Failure to

do this can result in material extending outside the hopper, moving

aggressively side-to-side creating a hazard to the operator.

13.Do not try to force material over 203mm in diameter or 254mm wide into the

machine.

14.Carefully site the machine so operators can work furthest from any local

danger. For example, on a road side, place machine so operators work on

the verge and not in the road exposed to traffic.

Machine lifting

The lifting eye is designed for securely holding the machine’s weight only. Do not

use hoist hook directly on the lifting eye. Use a correctly rated safety shackle.

Inspect lifting eye before each use and do not use if damaged.

DOs and DON’Ts

DO stop the machine before making

any adjustments, refuelling or

cleaning.

DO make sure the machine has

stopped rotating and remove the

ignition key before any maintenance or

the machine is left unattended.

DO ensure that the machine is level,

well supported and cannot move

during use.

DO run the machine at full throttle.

DO conduct regular machine checks

for visual fluid leaks.

DO take regular breaks. Wearing

protective equipment can be hot and

tiring leading to a lack of

concentration, increasing the risk of

having an accident.

DO keep hands, feet and clothing out

of feed area, chute and moving parts.

DO NOT use machine in poor visibility

or insufficient light to see clearly.

DO NOT use or attempt to start the

machine without the discharge chute

or guards correctly and securely fitted.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the

in-feed hopper when using the chipper.

Stand to one side.

DO NOT allow the following to enter

the machine as damage is likely:

BRICKS

METAL

STRING

GLASS

CLOTH

RUBBER

PLASTIC

ROOTS

STONES

BEDDING

PLANTS

DO NOT stand in front of the chute.

DO NOT smoke when refuelling.

Diesel fuel is highly flammable and

explosive in certain conditions.

DO NOT let anyone who has not

received instruction, operate the

machine.

DO NOT climb on the machine at any

time except for a tracked machine

ride-on plate where fitted.

DO NOT handle material partially

engaged in the machine while in

operation.

DO NOT touch any exposed wiring

while the machine is running.
