EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a wood
chipper. However, every year accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many
accidents by observing the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an
assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition.
Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to
use.
Replace any safety sign that is not readable or missing. Location of such safety signs are indicated in
this manual.

operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while
taking prescription medications.
Under no circumstances should children under the age of 18 be allowed to work
with this equipment. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until
they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the
safety precautions and how it works. Review the safety instructions with all users
annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly trained and physically able person familiar
with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. If the elderly are
assisting with farm work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
Use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System and seat belts. (ROPS)
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so
safely, is in question-DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification could result in
serious injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.
In addition to the design and the confirmation of this implement, including safety signs
and safety equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to safety
messages and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor
and wood chipper manuals. Pay close attention to the safety signs affixed to the

SAFETY TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our product.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator or bystander.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this
equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask
you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and
understand all safety and operating instructions in the manual and to follow them.
Accidents can be avoided.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual,
and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself
with the machines. If this machine is used by any person other than you, or is loaned
or rented, it is the rotary wood chipper owner’s responsibility to make certain that the
owner's manual be available to the operator prior to operating:
1-Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2-Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Know your controls and how to stop the tractor, engine, and wood chipper quickly in
an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your tractor.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be
certain only a properly trained and physically able person will operate the machinery.
A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not
qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm
work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

5
SAFETY TRAINING
PREPARATION
Never operate the tractor and wood chipper until you have read and completely
understand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety
messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and wood chipper.
Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and
gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment,
maintenance, repairing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow long hair,
loose fitting clothing, or jewelry to be around equipment.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS! Tractors with or without wood chippers attached can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing
protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db.
Noise over 80 db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90
db adjacent to the opera-tor over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios,
and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of
natural recovery.
Operate the wood chipper only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-
Protective System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or even death
could result from falling off the tractor — particularly during a turnover when the
operator could be pinned under the ROPS or the tractor.
Clear area to be worked of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown or
entangled in the wood chipper, causing injury or damage.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Ensure wood chipper is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good
condition.

SAFETY TRAINING
STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY
Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good
condition and fastened securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is
damaged or missing.
All tractors that are not equipped with a “live” power takeoff (PTO) need to be
equipped with an over-running PTO clutch. These are available through most farm
equipment stores. NOTE: The addition of an over-running PTO clutch may change the
length of the PTO driveline required. Pay extra attention to the instructions on the PTO
Driveline Installation. Be sure that the driveline system guarding is adequate.
Wood chipper operating power is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor
manual for PTO engagement and disengagement instructions. Know how to stop
tractor and wood chipper quickly in case of an emergency.
When engaging PTO, the engine RPM should always be at idle speed. Once engaged
and ready to start working, raise PTO speed to 540-RPM and maintain throughout
working operation.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected
against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment
must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and
operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not
understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and
bystanders at least several hundred feet from an operating rotary wood chipper. Only
properly trained people should operate this machine.
When machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure
persons or property, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within
several hundred feet.
The majority of the accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of
bystanders by the objects thrown by the rotating tines, and operators

SAFETY TRAINING
being knocked off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the
wood chipper. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or
rented to someone who has not read the owner’s manual and is not familiar with a
rotary wood chipper.
The rotary wood chipper is designed for use only on tractors with the power take-off
(PTO) turning at 540RPM (1000RPM temporary)
Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating. The wood
chipper tines, driveline guards and tractor, shields should be used and maintained in
good working condition. They should be inspected carefully, at least daily, for missing
or broken chain links, shields, or guards. (Worn items must be replaced at once to
reduce possibility of injury.)
Disengage power takeoff (PTO) and place transmission in neutral before attempting to
start engine.
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in
the operating parts of the wood chipper. These items could then swing outside the
housing at greater velocities than the tines. Such a situation is extremely hazardous.
Inspect the cutting area for such objects before working. Remove any like objects from
the site.
Never allow the working tines to contact such items. Never assume an area is clear.
Always Check!
Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove
the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow rotating pieces to come to a
complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the
tractor running.
Never place hands or feet under wood chipper with tractor engine running or before
you are sure all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
Do not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is blocked
securely.
Do not allow riders on the rotary wood chipper or tractor at anytime. There is no safe
place for

8
SAFETY TRAINING
any riders.
Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are several hundred feet away
to prevent injury by thrown objects.
Never operate tractor and rotary wood chipper under trees with low hanging limbs.
Operators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating tines.
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guardrails
and concrete abutment. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown
outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the working tines to contact such obstacles.
Stop rotary wood chipper and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn
engine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
Stay alert for uneven terrain, holes, rocks, and roots and other hidden hazards. Keep
away from drop-offs and hazards that could cause roll over. Use extreme care and
maintain minimum ground speed when trans-porting or operating on hillsides, over
rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful and slow
down when turning sharp corners and changing direction on slopes. Do not start or
stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes. In extremely uneven terrain,
rear wheels weights, front tractor weight, and/or tire ballast should be used to improve
stability.
Pass rotary wood chipper diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to
prevent “hanging up” tractor and rotary wood chipper. Practice will improve your skills
in maneuvering on rough terrain. Always cut down slopes, never across the face.
Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.
When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor
front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or
death. The weight may be attained with a front-end loader, front wheel weights, ballast
in the tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and
equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight

certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!
TRANSPORT SAFETY
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm
machinery on public roads.
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some
localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all lighting and marking
requirements.
At all times, when driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20
m.p.h. (32kph) use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 m.p.h. (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough
roads and surfaces.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting.
Do not drink and drive.
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations,
including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for traffic when operating near or
crossing roadways.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle.
Make certain that a least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain
safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surface. Always check tractor manual
for proper use on slopes.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground and when operating close to ditches
or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Never allow riders on either tractor or wood chipper.

17
OPERATION
DRIVELINE DIMENSION
A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To
accompany the variety of 3 point hitch geometry
available today, the driveline can be too long for
most machines or too short for others. It is very
important that the driveline be free to telescope but
not to bottom out when going through its working
range. If the driveline bottoms out, the bearings on
both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be
overloaded and fail in a short time.
1. To determine the proper length of the
driveline, follow this procedure:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
b. Attach the chipper to the tractor but do not
attach the driveline. DRIVELINE DIMENSIONS
c. Raise the machine until the input shaft is level with the
tractor PTO shaft.
d. Measure the dimension between the locking grooves
on the tractor PTO shaft and the machine input shaft.
e. Measure the same dimensions on the compressed
driveline.
f. If the compressed driveline dimension exceeds the
machine dimension, the driveline will have to be cut.
2. When cutting the driveline, follow this procedure:
a. Subtract the machine dimension (A) from the uncut
driveline dimension (B) or (B-A). This dimension
determines how much too long the driveline is.
b. Add another inch (25 mm) to the dimension to be sure
it doesn't bottom out, to determine (C) the cut off dimension. CUT OFF DIMENSION
c. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from both
ends. Cut both the plastic tubes and the
metal cores.
d. Use a file to remove the burrs from the edges
that were cut.
e. Assemble the 2 ends of the shaft.
f. Make sure the shaft can telescope freely. If it
does not, separate the 2 parts and inspect for
burrs or cuttings on the shaft ends. Be sure it
telescopes freely before installing.
