The words Danger, Warning, Caution, and
Notice are used on the safety decals and throughout
this manual, to make you aware of the safety
procedures. These procedures are very important,
read and obey them.
YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US!
This machine is equipped with safety decals, guards
and designs for your protection.
Don’t ever take the machine for granted, always
be cautious and careful when operating your
equipment.
Read and follow all the instructions in your
manual thoroughly. Your safety is dependent on
your knowledge of how to operate and maintain this
machine. You may obtain additional copies of this
manual from your Bandit Dealer.
Before operating machine, you must have all potential
operators; read and understand manuals and decals,
watch the video and follow the recommendations.
Regardless of how hard a manufacturer tries to
produce a safe machine, accidents still happen.
Normally accidents are caused by people making
mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore
warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for
their safety. This normally happens after the person
has become accustomed to the machinery. In the
initial start up and operation of the machinery, they
are cautious, they are very careful because they do
not understand the machine.
This equipment is intended for use by personnel
who are experienced with similar equipment. Always
operate safely. It is also recommended that someone
else is present while operating or servicing in case an
accident should occur. Never operate any machine
while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of
working area. Never operate equipment that is in
need of repair or adjustment.
Before starting the machine, take a minute to
check a few things. The machine should be in an
area restricted from people passing by. This area
around the machine must be free of all objects that
can obstruct your movement when working with the
machine. The machine should be checked for loose
tools or foreign objects, especially in the infeed hopper
area. All tools not in use should be secured in a tool
box.
Operators must at all times be located within easy
reachof allfeedcontrol andshut-offdeviceswhenthe
unit is running. They must be attentive and prepared
to activate the devices.
Torn or loose clothing is more likely to get caught
in moving machinery parts or tree branches. Keep
such items as long hair, shirt sleeves, and shirt tails
properly contained. Avoid wearing necklaces, rings,
watches, and especially neckties while operating this
machinery. Make sure the machine is in excellent
condition, and all the guards are in place, tight and
secure.
Wear all personal protection equipment and follow
all safety standards perANSI and OSHAinstructions.
Examples of equipment: hard hat, face shield,
safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc. Do not
wear gauntlet or secured t gloves. Always keep a
fully charged re extinguisher with the machine while
operating or servicing the machine.
Striped reective tape has been installed on the feed
control handle of the machine. This tape is reective,
self adhesive and has contrasting colors. The tape
helps make the feed control handle stand out more
and it makes the rear of the machine more visible
to a vehicle behind the machine while transporting.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never reach into the infeed hopper area of
the machine, there is never any reason to. The
feedwheel(s) are designed to pull trees and brush of
any length into the machine. Pulling a hand, arm, foot
or entire body through the machine is much easier
than pulling a tree. Do not think you will be able to
pull yourself free of the feedwheel(s), they will not let
go. There is absolutely no reason to work inside of the
infeed hopper. If the feedwheel(s) become tangled or
clogged, stop the machine and wait several minutes
before cleaning them out. If there are short pieces, or
leaves and twigs, just leave them until feeding longer
pieces. While the long pieces are feeding, simply toss
the short pieces on top of them. The longer pieces
will take them on into the machine.
This machine is not designed to be hand fed. A
wooden push paddle has been provided to assist
in the removal of smaller material after the machine
has been shut down. It is the owner’s and operator’s
responsibility to use and keep a wooden push
paddle with the machine and to also secure it when
transportingthemachine. DONOTuseanybodyparts
or any steel devices inside the infeed hopper area.
If there is larger diameter wood, try to feed it with
smaller diameter wood. Start a small diameter limb
which will partially open the feedwheel(s). Once the
feedwheel(s) are partially open it is much easier to
insert the larger diameter wood.
When feeding larger diameter wood, listen for the
engine to possibly lug down. If it starts lugging down
stop the feedwheel(s) by pulling the hydraulic control
bar to off, and let the engine recover to full speed. If the
machineisequippedwithAutofeedanditisfunctioning
properly, the feed system will automatically stop to let
the engine recover. This will help stop the machine
from plugging the discharge chute.
Pay attention to the direction of the discharge chute
before chipping. Never stand in front of the chipper
discharge chute. Never direct the chute towards
anyone or anything that could cause an accident or
problems. Always stop chipping and warn anyone
thatcomes nearthe dischargearea. Failure todo this
could result in severe injury. Wood chips ying out of
the discharge chute can be very dangerous!
Always block the tires and the machine tongue
whenever the machine is unhooked for operation.
DO NOT rely on the tongue jack for operational
stabilization.
NEVER sit, stand, lay, climb or ride anywhere
on this machine while it is running, operating, or in
transit. You will be injured.
Do not attempt to start the engine or engage the
engine PTO (power-take-off) system on this machine
if the chipper disc/drum is jammed or frozen in place.
If you do, you will damage or ruin the drive belts and/or
thePTOwhichwillnot becoveredunderwarrantyand
will cost you down time and money.

NOTICE
WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as anvil and
knife nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and t.
Most of the nuts used on the machine are self
locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed ve
times, it should be replaced to insure proper tightness.
This is especially critical on the chipper knife nuts and
bolts!
After the engine is started, let the chipper disc/drum
turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type
of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is
foreign. If you hear a noise, stop the engine, nd the
problem and x it.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
Before attempting any type of maintenance
disengage clutch, install clutch lock if equipped, turn
off engine, wait for the chipper disc/drum to come
to a complete stop, install the disc/drum lock pin,
disconnect battery, and make sure the ignition key is
in your possession.
ALWAYS install the disc/drum lock pin to prevent
inadvertent rotation. On disc chippers insert lock pin
through lock pin tube on the belly band under hood
rest. On drum chippers insert lock pin through lock
pin tube on side of drum housing.
Simply slide the lock pin into the disc/drum lock tube.
This is to insure that the chipper disc/drum cannot be
started while you are working inside the machine. If
for some reason the chipper disc/drum would start to
turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.
DO NOT remove the hood pin until the chipper
disc/drum has came to a complete stop. The chipper
disc/drum will coast for several minutes after the
engine is shut down. Always wait at least several
minutes.
DONOToperatethis machinewithoutthe HoodPin
in place. Do not operate the machine with any type
of makeshift hood pin or an improperly installed hood
pin! The Hood Pin MUST be padlocked.
DONOToperatethemachinewiththechipperhood
open under any circumstances.
DO NOT operate this machine indoors! Exhaust
fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine is
running. Never refuel in the shop or building. Always
refuel in a well ventilated area, away from sparks
or open ames, DO NOT SMOKE. Extinguish all
smoking materials. Wipe up all spilled fuel before
restarting the engine. Do not ll above 1/2” (12.7 mm)
from top of tank.
To obtain the most from your machine, for the least
amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up and follow
ascheduledpreventativemaintenanceprogram. Itwill
eliminate many possible problems and down time.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
Never use jumper cables in a conned or unventilated
area. Battery acid fumes are explosive. Never expose
an open ame or spark near the battery.
Before using the top feedwheel jack if equipped,
remove the yoke springs. Install the disc/drum lock
pin in the mount tube before using hand jack to raise
top feedwheel. Hand jack is only provided as a
means of lifting the top feedwheel, not holding it up
for service.
Never feed any materials that might contain wires,
stones, nails, metal objects, or any foreign object
which may damage the knives and become dangerous
projectiles.

cause a serious accident! Lubricate the hood hinge
daily.
Do not work on the machine if the engine is running
withtheclutchdisengaged. Aclutchcanselfengageif
either the pilot or throw-out bearing happens to seize
to the main output shaft.
There are various types of clutches (PTO’s)
available for this type of equipment. Make sure to
study the original clutch manufacturer’s manual that
isprovidedwiththemachineandfollowitsinstructions
for operation, service, and adjustments. Some styles
require clutch engagement to be maintained so that it
takes a lot of force, others will require very little force,
and some are push button, electric, manual lever, or
hydraulicactivation. Eachdifferentstyleclutch (PTO)
is a very expensive item that will fail if not correctly
maintained and adjusted. It will be quite costly if a
few minutes are not taken daily, weekly, and monthly
to keep the clutch serviced as required.
The operator must take care in the engagement
and disengagement of the clutch, engine RPM should
always be below 1000 RPM. When the engine has
sufficiently warmed up, bump the clutch handle
against engagement to start the chipper disc/drum
turning. This willhave tobe repeateduntil thechipper
disc/drum is turning at proper ratio with engine RPM.
Then push the handle all the way in gear until it locks
intoposition securely. Afterengagementraiseengine
RPM to full throttle. Engaging and disengaging the
clutch at high engine RPM will quickly and excessively
wear out clutch plates as well as bearings. Refer to
clutch manufacturer’s manual for proper service and
operation.
Do not work inside the mouth of the chipper or
around the feedwheel(s), until you have installed the
yoke lock pin completely and securely to help keep
the top feedwheel in the raised position. Remove top
wheel springs if equipped, block and chain top wheel
up before doing any work inside throat.

It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all hydraulic ttings. Retighten
as needed.
DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High
pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious
injury, gangrene, or death. DO NOT use ngers
or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve
hydraulic pressure before loosening ttings. Use a
piece of cardboard to nd leaks. Never use your bare
hands.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system
idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system
to warm up to operating temperature.
Never turn the chipper disc/drum by hand, always
carefully use a pry bar or wood bar. This will help
prevent the person turning the disc/drum from being
injured should the disc/drum break loose.
A sight hole in the chipper belt shield has been
provided. If chipper belts are moving do not open
chipper hood. Do not stick ngers in sight hole.
Before you begin to transport your trailerized machine
follow all of the transportation procedures on pages
34-36. Make sure that the tongue has been raised to
the proper height and attach the machine securely to
the towing vehicle. Once secured to vehicle, locate
tongue jack and secure it in the transport position.
Always hook safety chains to vehicle by crossing
them under the tongue allowing enough slack to
avoid binding when making turns. Check brakes and
highway lights make sure that they are all operating
properly. Check that the plug terminal functions match
the towing vehicle for proper operation. Make sure that
thedischargechuteisinthetransportpositionpointed
over the tongue of machine and the transport bolt is
securely in its place. Be sure to check tire pressure
before you begin to transport the machine. Close the
folding pan, if equipped for the infeed hopper and make
sure spring latches are locked into place. If machine
is equipped with a vise, make sure to secure in place
and clamp jaws closed. Close and secure any of the
following, if equipped: tool box, battery box, engine
cowl doors and side panels, radiator debris screens,
inspection doors, cabinet doors, housing covers, tank
caps and covers, etc.

MODEL 1850 DECALS
DECALS
Decals located on your Bandit equipment contain useful information to assist you in operating your
equipment safely. Some of the decals on your machine and their location are shown in this section.
It is very important that all decals remain in place and in good condition on your machine. Please follow the
care and instructions given below:
1) You should use soap and water to keep your decals clean. Never use mineral spirits or any
other abrasive cleaners.
2) Replace immediately any missing or damaged decals. The location the decal is going to be
applied to must be clean and dry, and at least 40° F (5°C) before applying decal.
3) When the need arises to replace a machine component with a decal attached, be sure and
replace the decal.
4) Replacement decals are available, and can be purchased from the manufacturer or your
Bandit Dealer.
5) Combination English / Spanish decals are typically standard. Other foreign language decals are
available and may be purchased. Mail translated decals required to Bandit Industries, Inc.
THE CLUTCH HANDLE SHOULD NOT
BE ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED AT
SPEEDS ABOVE 1000 RPM’S.
DO NOT operate this Clutch/PTO unless proper adjustments and
lubrication are maintained per the Clutch/PTO Manufacturer’s Manual.
Different brands and models require different service and operation
procedures. New Clutch/PTO’s require more
frequent adjustment.
GOOD OPERATORS
DON’T WASTE MONEY!
Clutches will fail, glaze over, and burn up from
improper adjustment. This will cost the owner of this
machine thousands of dollars to repair. A well
maintained, correctly adjusted clutch should function
properly for years.
