Operator’s Manual Victory WC-8H - Page 14 of 64 - Version 2.0
◼Visually inspect the infeed bin and the flywheel before starting. Ensure that the chipper head is
clear, all the bolts are tightened, and the knives do not touch the case and the counter knife.
◼Ensure the PTO shaft does not come apart or bottom out during the normal lifting range.
◼Check the chip pile to see if the knives need to be serviced. Long slivers in the chip pile are one
of the best indicators of dull knives.
◼It is NOT recommended to operate the woodchipper in temperatures below freezing. Hardened
steel (used on knives) can become brittle in temperatures below freezing and may result in
breakage. Ensure debris does not blow into traffic, parked cars, or pedestrians.
◼Always stand clear of the discharge area when operating this machine. Keep face and body
away from feed and discharge openings.
◼Keep hands and feet out of feed and discharge openings while the machine is operating to
avoid serious personal injury. Stop and allow the woodchipper to come to a complete stop
before clearing obstructions.
◼Do not climb on the machine when operating. Keep proper balance and footing at all times.
◼The disk will continue to rotate when the clutch is disengaged or reversing valves in the
median. Shut off the tractor, remove the ignition key, and ensure all moving parts have come
to a complete stop.
◼Do not insert logs more prominent than 5 inches in diameter into the woodchipper or machine;
damage may occur.
◼When feeding wood into the machine, do not allow metal, bottles, cans, or other foreign
material.
◼Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge area. It may prevent proper
discharge and kick-off material through the feed opening.
◼Shut off the woodchipper immediately if it becomes clogged, the cutting mechanism strikes any
foreign object, or the machine starts vibrating or making an unusual noise. Shut off the engine,
remove the tractor’s ignition key and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete
stop. After the woodchipper stops: Inspect for damage.
◼Check blade bolts for proper torque after every 8 hours of operation. Keep blades sharp.
Failure to do so may cause poor performance, damage, or personal injury and void the machine
warranty.
3.6 More Safety Tips for Safe Operation
◼Always keep the guards and chip deflector installed properly while operating the chipper.
◼Never leave the chipper running unattended.
◼Do not attempt alterations, repairs, or adjustments while the flywheel turns.
◼Always disconnect the PTO, stop the tractor’s motor, and put the key in your pocket before
attempting any alterations, repairs, or adjustments.
◼Keep hands, feet, clothing, and other extremities away from the hopper (infeed bin) and any
power-driven parts. Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with moving parts.
◼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. The flywheel has enough residual energy to remove fingers easily.

Operator’s Manual Victory WC-8H - Page 15 of 64 - Version 2.0
◼Point the discharge chute away from persons, doorways, sidewalks, or areas obstructing your
view. Point the chute downwind when possible. This will keep the chips from blowing back in
the operator’s direction.
3.6.1 Use Safety Lights and Devices
◼Driving on public roads, slow-moving tractors, self-propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard. They are challenging to see, especially at night.
◼Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and
devices provided with the implement.
3.6.2 Transport Machinery Safely
◼Comply with state and local laws.
◼The maximum transport speed for any Victory implement is twenty mph on paved surfaces and
ten mph maximum on an unpaved surface. Do not exceed. Never travel at a speed that does
not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
Traveling excessively on uneven terrain that causes violent shaking or bouncing will damage
the attachment point on the implement and/or the tractor. This type of damage is not covered
under warranty.
◼Use the following maximum speed - for paved surfaces only:
-20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of the tractor.
-10 mph when weight is more than the weight of the tractor.
3.6.3 Keep Riders Off Machinery
◼Riders obstruct the operator’s view; they could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the
machine.
◼Never allow children below 16 to operate the equipment.
3.6.4 Practice Safe Maintenance
◼Always work in a clean and dry environment.
◼Lower the implement to the ground, put the tractor in parking mode, turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key before performing maintenance.
3.6.5 Prepare For Emergencies
◼Be prepared if a fire starts.
◼Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
◼Ensure you have telephone numbers for the doctor, ambulance, hospital, and fire department.

3.7 SAFETY AND HEALTH MEASURES WHEN USING
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Anyone working on installations where hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil, grease, or preservatives are
used must observe the following rules:
◼Do not remove the protection sleeves from the hydraulic hoses.
◼Avoid prolonged contact of the liquid with the skin. In the event of contact, carefully cleanse
the skin. Wear clothing that is free of this liquid. Also, be careful when eating and drinking
during the operation.
◼Avoid skin contact with liquids over 60°C or hot machine parts.
◼Avoid eye contact; if this happens, cleanse with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
◼Liquid storage must follow official guidelines; pay attention to fire extinguishers and emergency
exits.
◼Permanently remove spilled liquids immediately to prevent them from slipping.
◼Hydraulic liquids should not get into the ground or in surface water.
◼Avoid high-pressure fluids hazards. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing severe injury.
◼Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
◼Never try to stop leaks from the system by hand.
◼Have used liquids removed and recycled by specialized companies.
◼Use a piece of paper or cardboard, not body parts, to check for suspected leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
◼If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Always treat any fluid injected into the skin
within a few hours.
3.8 INFEED ROLLERS SAFETY
◼The infeed rollers can cause severe injury or death. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
the feed rollers and flywheel chipper knife blades.
◼Never climb onto the feed chute when the unit is operating or running.
◼Do not reach inside. Keep proper balance and footing.
◼Never allow passengers to ride on the feed chute.
◼When feeding material into the feed roller, wear eye, face, and hearing protection.
◼Release material and stand to the side of the feed chute.
3.9 PTO DRIVELINE SAFETY
Agriculture and forestry are very hazardous occupations. Today’s farmer spends long hours close
to increasingly complex and powerful machinery.
Everyone from the component supplier and the company that manufacturers and assembles the
machinery to the dealers and ultimately the actual user must keep safety in mind to avoid
accidents.
The safety rules below relate to the driveline of agricultural implements, general safety literature,
and the standards published by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers.
◼Read and follow instructions on PTO safety decals.

Operator’s Manual Victory WC-8H - Page 17 of 64 - Version 2.0
◼Stay alert and pay attention when PTO is operating.
◼Keep bystanders, especially children, away from the PTO driveline.
◼Check the driveline to ensure it is attached securely to the tractor.
◼Keep guards and shields in place at all times while operating. Disengage PTO, shut off the
power source, and ensure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing
guards or shields.
◼Clothing worn by the operator must be pretty tight. Never wear loose-fitted jackets, shirts, or
pants when working around the PTO. Tie long hair back or put it under a cap.
◼Keep hydraulic hoses, chains, and other items from contacting the driveline.
◼Do not exceed the recommended 540 rpm PTO operating speed.
◼Before inspecting or servicing the PTO drive area, disengage the driveline, shut off the power
source, and ensure all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
◼Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from all PTO drive parts.
◼Do not clean or touch the PTO shaft when it is running.
3.9.1 Driveline Safety Checklist
Driveline Specifications
The first step toward safe applications is to specify and test the driveline to operate appropriately
under expected field conditions.
◼Specify and test the proper size joints and telescoping members based on the power required
by the implement, rotation speed, joint angles, shock loads, and expected lifetime.
◼Test the hitch geometry to prevent the driveline from:
•Extending beyond the recommended maximum length.
•Bottoming out.
•Reaching a position that allows universal joints to lock.
•Exceeding the maximum allowable angle for the constant velocity of the universal joints.
You can find information concerning these parameters in all driveline manufacturer’s catalogs.
◼Specify and test telescoping members to allow the lowest possible thrust loads, considering the
expected working conditions.
◼Specify and test torque limiters to control excessive shock loads.
◼Specify and test overrunning clutches to prevent inertial loads from overpowering the tractor.
Hazard Reduction
The second step in specifying a safe driveline application is to strive to eliminate as many hazards
as possible
◼On a driveline with torque limiting or overrunning devices, specify that this device is positioned
at the end of the driveline near the implement.
◼To implement connections that require bolts or set screws, select and/or supply hardware that
minimizes protrusions. You can find Information concerning these parameters in all driveline
manufacturer’s catalogs.
◼For the tractor's PTO shaft connections, specify a safety type yoke (twist or slide collar) to
minimize protrusions.

Operator’s Manual Victory WC-8H - Page 18 of 64 - Version 2.0
◼Provide a proper clearance zone for the driveline operation to avoid damaging the shielding
components.
Some common areas of interference are:
◼Three-point linkage.
◼Extended or eye loop hitch pins.
◼Hydraulic hoses.
Guarding
To not effectively eliminated hazards, provide guarding whenever feasible.
The PTO master, critical driveline, and input connection shield should offer an interactive guarding
system.
◼Provide instructions by labels or manuals. Use the implement only with the tractor’s PTO
master shield.
◼Specify and test an integral driveline shield with end cones that overlap but do not interfere
with the PTO master shield or implement an input connection shield.
◼Provide an input connection shield to interact with the integral driveline shield to guard the
shaft coupling and any torque limiting devices installed on the driveline.
◼Check that all routine driveline maintenance can be done without removing the shields.
Warnings and Instructions
Provide warnings and instructions for hazards associated with the machine. Provide instructions
for proper maintenance and repair.
◼Provide labels on the unit to advise the user of proper hitch dimensions and maximum safe
operating speed.
