are probably expecting it to shred too large a quantity of
waste at a time. Simply reduce the feed rate.

EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease or
within the time required, assume you have the wrong
size or type of chipper for the job.

tipped over, mop up oil and fuel spillages and contact
your nearest HSS Hire for advice before re-using.
Regularly check the fuel level and top up as necessary
using unleaded petrol c c h h e e c c k k t t h h e e e e n n g g i i n n e e o o i i l l l l e e v v e e l l d d a a i i l l y y . .
Having let the engine cool, stand it on level ground,
withdraw the dipstick and wipe clean. Now, replace the
stick, withdraw it a second time and verify that the oil
level is between the Min and Max lines.
Top up as required. E E m m p p t t y y t t h h e e c c o o l l l l e e c c t t i i o o n n b b a a g g r r e e g g u u l l a a r r l l y y , ,

Keep the equipment clean, you will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period. When not in use, store the
equipment somewhere clean, dry and safe from thieves
and unauthorised users.
FINISHING OFF
Allow the chipper to clear the last bits of matter then
switch the unit OFF as described in GENERAL SAFETY.
Remove the collection bag and give the unit a final clean,
ready for return to your local HSS Hire.
... have you been trained
The law requires that personnel using work equipment have
received adequate training and must be competent when
using the equipment within the workplace.
Training is available at HSS Training Solutions
