2. Safety
2.1 Safety Alert Symbol
This Safety Alert Symbol means:
ATTENTION! BE ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The Safety Alert Symbol identifies important safety messages
on the Wallenstein Chipper-Shredder and in the manual.
When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of
personal injury or death. Follow the instructions in the safety
message.
2.2 Signal Words
The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION determine
the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual.
The appropriate signal word for each message in this manual
has been selected using the following guidelines:
DANGER –
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that
are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment protection with
personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates
a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage to the
machine.
2.3 Why Safety is Important
Three Big Reasons:
• Accidents Disable and Kill
• Accidents Cost
• Accidents Can Be Avoided
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and maintenance
of your Wallenstein product. YOU must make sure that anyone
who is going to use, maintain or work around the machine is
familiar with the operating and maintenance procedures and
related SAFETY information contained in this manual. This
manual alerts you to all good safety practices that should be
used while using your Wallenstein equipment.
YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you but also the people around you. Make these practices a
working part of your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
using this equipment is familiar with the recommended
operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety
precautions.
Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.
2.4 Safety Rules
• Provide operating instructions to all
employees before allowing them to
operate the machine.
• Read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions
in the manual and follow them. The most important safety
device on this equipment is a SAFE operator.
• Review safety related items annually with all personnel who
will be operating or performing maintenance.
BXMT3209
Trailer Chipper-Shredder
Safety

Safety

• Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
when using this machine. This includes but is not limited
to:
- A hard hat
-Heavy gloves
- Hearing Protection
- Protective shoes with slip resistant soles
- Protective glasses, goggles or face shield
• Keep a first-aid kit available for use
should the need arise and know how to
use it.
• Inspect and secure all guards before starting.
• Keep a fire extinguisher available for use should
the need arise and know how to use it.
• Never expect a person who has not read or understands all
operation and safety instructions to operate the machine.
An untrained operator is not qualified and exposes everyone
to possible serious injury or death. It is the owner's
responsibility to the operator to ensure familiarity and
understanding of the machine.
• The operator must be a responsible, properly trained and
physically able person familiar with machinery and trained
in this equipment's operations. If the elderly are assisting
with work, their physical limitations need to be recognized
and accommodated.
• DO NOT risk injury or death by ignoring good safety
practices. Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Operating machines safely is one of the main concerns in
designing and developing Wallenstein equipment. However,
accidents could occur that can be avoided by a few seconds of
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
• Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes
necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use. In
some cases, certain illustrations in this manual may show
an assembly with a safety shield removed for clarity.
However, equipment should never be used in this condition.
• Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not
readable or is missing. Location and explanation of safety
signs start on page 13.
• Never consume alcoholic beverages or drugs while using
this equipment. These can hinder alertness or coordination.
Consult your doctor about using this machine while taking
prescription medications.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may result in serious injury or death and may
impair the function and life of the equipment. Unapproved
modifications void warranty.
• Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability
to do a job, or to do so safely is in question – DO NOT TRY
IT.
2.6 Safe Condition
Throughout this manual, we talk about a 'Safe Condition'. What
this means is setting the machine in a state that makes it safe to
service or repair.
Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing
any service, maintenance work or storage preparation by
performing the following:
SAFE CONDITION
• Shut off engine.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
• Block or chock wheels.
2.7 Safety Training
• Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently
with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained
and physically able person will use the machinery. A person
who has not read and understood all instructions is not
qualified to use the machine. An untrained operator can
cause possible serious injury or death.
• If this machine is used by any other person, loaned or
rented, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that
prior to using, every operator:
- knows the meaning of all safety decals
- reads and understands the owner's manual
- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
- understands and knows how to perform the Safe
Condition procedure

Safety

2.8 Being Prepared
• Never use the machine until the operators have been
adequately trained in the safe operation of the machine and
have read and completely understand:
- safety, operation and feature sections of this manual
- the safety signs on the machine.
- engine operator's manual
- how to place the machine in a safe condition
• PPE is recommended during assembly, installation,
operation, adjustment, maintenance, repair, removal,
cleaning, and transport. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting
clothing or jewelry around equipment.
• Prolonged exposure to loud noise may
cause permanent hearing loss! Power
equipment with or without equipment
attached can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hearing loss.
• Always wear hearing protection if the noise in any area you
work in exceeds 80 dB.
- Noise over 85 dB on a long-term basis can cause
severe hearing loss.
- Exposure to noise over 90 dB over a long-term basis
may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
- Hearing loss from loud noise (from engines, chainsaws,
radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is
cumulative over a lifetime, without hope of natural
recovery.
• Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden obstacles
that might be hooked or snagged, causing injury or
damage.
• Determine where chips will be piled and ensure it does not
interfere with safe operation of the machine
• Be aware of overhead hazards: branches, cables, electrical
wires.
• Use this machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Perform the Pre-operation Checklist procedure before
starting work (see Pre-Operation Checklist on page 24).
2.9 Refueling Safety
• Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
• Allow engine to cool for 5 minutes before refueling. Clean
up spilled fuel before restarting engine.
• Do not refuel the machine while
smoking or fuel up near open flame or
sparks.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of accumulated
trash, grease and debris.
• Be sure to stop the engine prior to refueling.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• If fuel is spilled, wipe it away carefully and wait until the fuel
has dried before starting the engine.
• After refueling, make sure that the fuel cap is secured to
prevent spillage.
2.10 Tire Safety
• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on
a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may result
in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform
required tire maintenance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the
original tire specifications. Never undersize.

2.11 Gas Engine Safety
CAUTION!
Before starting engine, review the operating and
maintenance instructions in the engine manual.
W019
• DO NOT operate engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, which is an odorless and deadly
gas.
• DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or rotating parts.
• DO NOT store, spill, or use gasoline near an open flame,
or devices such as a stove, furnace, or water heater which
use a pilot light or devices which can create a spark.
• DO NOT refuel indoors where area is not well ventilated.
Outdoor refueling is preferred.
• DO NOT refuel while engine is running. Allow engine to cool
for 5 minutes before refueling. Store fuel in approved safety
containers.
• DO NOT remove fuel tank cap while engine is running.
• DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is spilled. Move machine
away from the spill and avoid creating any ignition until
gasoline has evaporated.
• DO NOT smoke while filling fuel tank.
• DO NOT choke carburetor to stop engine. Whenever
possible, gradually reduce engine speed before stopping.
• DO NOT run engine above rated speeds. This may result in
injury.
• DO NOT tamper with governor springs, governor links or
other parts which may increase the governed speed.
• DO NOT tamper with the engine speed selected by the
original equipment manufacturer.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug or spark plug wire
removed.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed. If engine is
flooded, crank until engine starts.
• DO NOT strike flywheel with a hard object or metal tool as
this may cause flywheel to shatter in operation. Use proper
tools to service engine.
• DO NOT operate engine without a muffler. Inspect
periodically and replace, if necessary. If engine is equipped
with a muffler deflector, inspect periodically. Replace if
necessary, with correct deflector.
• DO NOT operate engine with an accumulation of grass,
leaves, dirt or other combustible materials in the muffler
area.
• DO NOT use this engine on any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a spark
arrester is installed on the muffler. The arrester must be
maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the
state of California, the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
• DO NOT touch hot muffler, cylinder or fins because contact
may cause burns.
• DO NOT run engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover
removed.
Be sure to:
• Remove the wire from the spark plug when servicing
the engine or equipment to prevent accidental starting.
Disconnect the negative wire from the battery terminal if
equipped with a 12-volt starting system.
• Keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of grass and
other debris which can affect engine speed.
• Examine muffler periodically to be sure it is functioning
effectively. A worn or leaking muffler should be repaired or
replaced as necessary.
• Use fresh gasoline. Stale fuel can gum carburetor and
cause leakage.
• Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.

allow the material in the hopper to move into the shredder
rotor and close when unattended.
• Levers on each side of the hopper control the position of
the gate. Move the lever(s) down to allow the material to
move into the shredding rotor. Release the lever(s) and the
spring will move the gate into its closed position.
