Emergency Stop; Checklist Before Operation; Safe Setup Procedures - Hansa C27 Operation, Maintenance And Safety Manual

Emergency stop

The emergency stop acts as an immediate kill switch to the engine. It does not stop the rotor from spinning. The rotor will continue
to spin for some time due to its rotational inertia. To engage the emergency stop, push the red button. To disengage the emergency
stop, twist the red button clockwise until it releases outwards.
Use it when foreign matter such as sand, stones or metal enter the inlet chute
Use it in response to an immediate hazard/danger to an operator or onlooker
Follow the regular shutdown procedure in addition to using the emergency stop
Inspect the machine before resetting the emergency stop
Under normal conditions, Do NOT use the emergency stop in place of the regular shutdown procedure

control is compromised
Ensure that the outlet chute is discharged onto soft ground (e.g. grass)
Do NOT allow the outlet chute to discharge chip onto hard surfaces (such as a paved or gravel surface)
 Ejected material can rebound and cause injury
Keep children and spectators clear of the work area at all times
Do NOT operate the chipper where there is a hazard to onlookers
