6.8 Set Up the Machine
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.
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! Put the machine in a position so that the
prevailing wind blows engine exhaust away from the
operator.
1. Select a work site and set up a safe work area.
For more information, see Work Site on page 11.
2. Make sure that the machine is level and stable, and the
work area is free of debris.
3. Make sure that the chipper and shredder hoppers are free
of debris.
