6.7 Emergency Stop
In an emergency:
1. Move the clutch handle to the STOP position.
2. Move the throttle control to the STOP position to turn off
the engine and close the fuel shut-off valve.
3. Wait 10 seconds for the drive belt and rotor to stop.
4. Do not let anyone start the machine until the emergency is
resolved
6.8 Set Up the Machine
WARNING!
Always use the machine outdoors and park
the machine in a position where the prevailing
winds blow the engine exhaust away from the
operator. Exhaust from the engine contains
carbon monoxide (CO) that can accumulate to a
dangerous level, even in an area with good air
fl ow.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the machine is stable and on
the level ground before operation. Operating
the machine on uneven ground can cause the
machine to tip over, which may result in personal
injury or machine damage.
IMPORTANT! Position the machine so the prevailing wind
blows engine exhaust away from the operator.
1. Put the chipper/shredder at the work site close to the brush
pile.
2. Make sure that the machine is level and stable, and the
work area is free of debris.
3. If the machine is attached to a lawn tractor, apply the lawn
tractor parking brake, stop the engine, and then remove the
key from the ignition.
4. Make sure that the chipper and shredder hoppers are free
of debris.
6.9 Operate the Machine
Wear the personal protective equipment (PPE)
that is required to complete the work safely.
This includes, but is not limited to a hard hat,
hearing protection, a face shield, protective
footwear, a respirator, and heavy gloves.
Never reach into the feed hopper. There are
sharp knives that can trap, cut, and/or sever your
fi ngers or hand. Use a stick or branch to push
material that does not move into the machine.
If the machine is jammed, set the machine to a
safe condition, and then clear the jam.
W006
Maintain a safe distance from the area where
the machine expels the wood chips. Use the
discharge chute and/or hood defl ector to direct
the expelled material away from the work area, all
people, animals, and objects.
The machine can expel wood chips fast enough
to cause eye, cut, and impact injuries and/or
property damage.
W038
Keep shredder gate closed between feeds to
keep fl ying material contained in the shredder
housing. Do not prop open the gate. Material can
fl y out causing injury.
Risk of personal injury! Do not overload the
machine by placing material into the feed hopper
larger than the size stated on the decal.
Machine damage could also result.
