6.1 Safety Alert Symbol
This Safety Alert Symbol means:
ATTENTION! BE ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
6.2 Why is SAFETY important?
Three Big Reasons:
• Accidents Disable and Kill
• Accidents Cost
• Accidents Can Be Avoided
6.3 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.
NOTE: (plus text) – indicates an additional
explanation for an element of information.
The Safety Alert Symbol identies important
safety messages on the Wallenstein Wood
Processor 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.

use should the need arise and know how
to use it.
• DO think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
• DO NOT expect a person who has not read and
understood all use and safety instructions to

qualied and exposes himself and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death. It is the owners
responsibility to the operator to ensure familiarity
and understanding of the machine.
• DO NOT modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modication may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.
• DO NOT allow riders during transport.
• DO NOT risk injury or death by ignoring good
safety practices.
6.7 Operating Safety
• Read and heed the safety signs on the 3 Point
Hitch Wood Chipper. Clean or replace all
safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and
understood. They are there for your safety, as
well as the safety of others. The safe use of this
machine is strictly up to you, the operator.
• Study this manual to make sure you have all safety
equipment attached. All things with moving parts
are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for
a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes
potential hazards and follows reasonable safety
practices. The manufacturer has designed this 3
Point Hitch Wood Chipper to be used with all its
safety equipment properly attached, to minimize
the chance of accidents.
• Close and secure rotor cover before operating.
• Close and secure all guards, deectors and shields
before starting and operating.
• Read and understand operator's manual before
starting. Review safety instructions annually.
• Use Personal protection equipment including
hearing protection, hard hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, and gloves during assembly, installation,
operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
removal, or moving of this equipment. Do not allow
long hair, loose-tting clothing, or jewelry to be
around moving parts.
• Keep hydraulic lines and ttings tight, in good
condition and free of leaks.
• Never place any part of your body where it would
be in danger if movement of equipment should
occur during assembly, installation, operation,

• Never consume alcoholic beverages or use
drugs which can impair alertness or coordination
while operating this equipment. Consult your
doctor about operating this machine while taking
prescription medications.
• Do not allow riders on this machine at any time.
There is no safe place for any riders.
• Never allow children or unauthorized people to
operate or be around this machine.
• Keep children and persons unfamiliar with

recognized and accommodated.
• Do not reach into rotor or feed hopper openings
when the engine is running. Install and secure
access covers before starting engine.
• Keep the working area clean and free of debris to
prevent tripping. Operate only on level ground.
• Do not point discharge at people, animals or
buildings. Rotor can expel wood chips fast enough
to cause injury.
• Do not move or transport chipper when the rotor is
turning.
• Do not exceed a safe travel speed when
transporting.
• Keep chipper resting on the ground during
operation. Using the chipper while raised off the
ground is dangerous and will result in damage to
the machine, and potential personal injury.
• Never have the exit chute pointing towards the
hopper or operator working area. Chips can come
out of the chute with enough force to cause injury.
6.8 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the
main concerns in designing and developing equipment.
However, every year many 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 in this section.
To avoid personal injury or death, study the following
precautions and insist those working with you, or for
you to 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 used in this condition. Keep all shields
in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for
repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
1. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is
not readable or is missing. Location of such safety
signs is indicated in this manual.
2. Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function and life
of the equipment.
3. In addition to the design and conguration 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 machine
manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
afxed to the tractor and the machine.
4. 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..

6.9 Safety Training
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration 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.
3. The best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator—we
ask you to be that kind of an
operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read, understand
and follow ALL safety and
operation instructions in the
manual. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual before
assembly or using the machine to acquaint
yourself with it. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented,
it is the machine owner's responsibility to make
certain that prior to using, the operator:
- 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
5. 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 use and safety instructions is not
qualied to use the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting
with the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
6. Know your controls and how to stop the machine
and the tractor quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual thoroughly..
6.10 Maintenance Safety
Place the machine in a Safe Condition before
performing any service, maintenance work or storage
preparation. See Safe Condition on page 9
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor
maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Follow good shop practices.
• Keep service area clean and
dry.
• Be sure electrical outlets and
tools are properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for the
job at hand.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never
operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a
closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause
asphyxiation.
• Before working on this machine, set the brake and
turn the engine off.
• Never work under equipment unless it is blocked
securely.
• Always use personal protection devices such as
eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing
any service or maintenance work. Use heavy or
leather gloves when handling blades.
• Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to restore
your equipment to original specications. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or
damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/
or accessories.
• A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept
readily accessible while performing maintenance
on this equipment.
• Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and
check that all electrical and fuel connections are
properly secured.
• When completing a maintenance or service
function, make sure all safety shields and devices
are installed before placing unit in service.

BX36S
3PH Self-feed Chipper Safety

6.11 Storage Safety
• Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the
stored machine.
• Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support the
frame with planks if required.
• Transport Safety
• Comply with state and local laws governing safety
and transporting of machinery on public roads.
• Check that all the lights, reectors and other
lighting requirements are installed and in good
working condition.
• Do not exceed a safe travel speed. Slow down for
rough terrain and cornering.
• Fold up and secure feed hopper before moving or
transporting.
• Be sure the machine is hitched correctly to the
tractor and a retainer is used through the mounting
pins.
• Do not drink and drive.
• Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to
oncoming trafc in all situations, including narrow
bridges, intersections, and so on. Watch for trafc
when operating near or crossing roadways.
• Never allow riders on the machine.
