INTRODUCTION About This Manual This Operator’s manual belongs to the owner of the Victory WC-10H woodchipper. Read this Operator’s Manual before operating the WC-10H • Pay special attention to the safety precautions presented in this manual, as they prevent accidents causing machine damage, human injury, or death.
Safety Warning Messages in this Manual Read this manual carefully before using the WC-10H to understand how to use it correctly. ◼ After reading, store the manual in a safe place, easily accessible for everyone working with the machine. ◼...
Intended Use The WC-10H is a woodchipper for tree branches max 10” thick and other pruning waste. Unintended Use Unintentional use is any other use than described under 'Intended use.' Intended Operating Conditions ◼ Ambient temperature: 0° to + 40°C.
Do not remove the brought warning stickers or markings. ◼ Always clean the machine properly and keep the workplace free of dirt and obstacles. ◼ Always use the equipment in daylight or ensure sufficient artificial lighting. Operator’s Manual Victory WC-10H - Page 11 of 64 - Version 3.0...
Always use tools that are in a good state of repair. Ensure you know how to use the tools before doing any work. ◼ ONLY use replacement parts from the same brand as the relevant part. Operator’s Manual Victory WC-10H - Page 12 of 64 - Version 3.0...
When raising and moving implements, watch for wires, trees, etc. Make sure all persons are clear of the working area. ◼ Turning the tractor too tight may cause the implement to ride upon wheels. It can result in injury or equipment damage. Operator’s Manual Victory WC-10H - Page 13 of 64 - Version 3.0...
Do not wear loose clothing when working around the woodchipper. Personal injury can occur if someone or something turns the flywheel over while checking the knives or adjusting the cutter bar.
