2.1 GENERAL SAFETY

9
2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Safety of the operator and bystanders is one
of the main concerns in designing and de-
veloping 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.
2. 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.
3. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign
that is not readable or is missing. Location of
such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
4. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while us-
ing this equipment. Consult your doctor about
using this machine while taking prescription
medications.
5. Under no circumstances should young
children be allowed to work with this
equipment. Do not allow persons to use or
assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions
and of how it works. Review the safety
instructions with all users annually.
6. 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 machinery and trained in this equipment's
operations. If the elderly are assisting with
work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machin-
ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'T TRY IT.
8. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
9. In addition to the design and conguration of
this implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and ac-
cident 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 appropri-
ate sections of the tractor and machine manu-
als. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
afxed to the tractor and the machine.

10
2.3 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 pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The
best safety feature is an
informed, careful opera-
tor." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and under-
stand ALL Safety and Using instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries. Read this manual
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine. 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
the operator, prior to using:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop tractor
and machine quickly in an emergency. Read
this manual and the one provided with tractor.
6. Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions 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 using
and safety instructions is not qualied to use
the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious in-
jury or death. If the elderly are assisting with
the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs displayed in Section 3 each have
a part number in the lower right hand corner.
Use this part number when ordering replace-
ment parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your author-
ized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or
the factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
• Be sure that the installation area is clean and
dry.
• Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
• Determine exact position before you remove
the backing paper.
• Remove the smallest portion of the split back-
ing paper.
• Align the sign over the specied area and
carefully press the small portion with the ex-
posed sticky backing in place.
• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and
carefully smooth the remaining portion of the
sign in place.
• Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin
and smoothed out using the piece of sign
backing paper.

11
2.5 PREPARATION
1. Never use the machine until you have read and
completely understand this manual, the tractor
Operator's Manual and each of the Safety Mes-
sages found on the safety signs on the engine
and machine.
2. Personal protec-
tion equipment
including hard
hat, safetyglass-
es, safety shoes,
and gloves are
recommended
during assem-
bly, installation,
operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
removal, cleaning, or moving the unit. Do not
allow long hair, loose tting clothing or jewellery
to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUDNOISEMAYCAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Power equipment with or
without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing
protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the
Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over
85db on a long-term basis can cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the
Operator 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.
4. Clear working area of stones, branches or hid-
den obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury or damage.
5. Use only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs
are properly installed and in good condition.
2.6 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor
maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
- Keep service
area clean and
dry.

or knives.
7. Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacementparts mustbeused torestore
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.
8. A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be kept
readily accessible while performing maintenance
on this equipment.

PRINCIPLE
COMPONENTS
The Wallenstein Three Point Hitch Chipper-Shredder is a rotor with blades and knives for chipping and mulching
wood. Feed hoppers move the wood material into the rotor for chipping and into the knives for shredding/mulch-
ing. The chipper rotor is designed with 2 blades to provide uniform chip size. The shredder rotor is equipped with
3 sets of swinging knives to provide a ne mulch. A chop block in the mulcher compartment shreds the material
as it moves through the machine. Model BXM42 is illustrated but indicates the general location of the various
components.
The tractor provides rotational power through a PTO shaft and a set of V-belts on the front of the frame.

4.3 MACHINE BREAK-IN
Although there are no operational restrictions on
the Chipper-Shredder when used for the rst time,
it is recommended that the following mechanical
items be checked:
A. After operating for 1 hour:
1. Check alignment of pulleys. Align as re-
quired.
2. Check belt tension. Adjust as required.
3. Torque all fasteners and hardware.
4. Check condition of rotor bearings.
5. Check the condition and clearance of the
knives, chop-block and stationary blades.
Adjust or replace as required.
6. Check the condition of the curtain in the
chipper feed hopper and the safety hatch
in the shredder feed hopper. The curtain
and safety hatch must move freely back
into position to prevent wood from ying
out.
7. Check for entangled material. Remove all
entangled material before resuming work.
8. Lubricate all grease ttings.
B. After operating for 8 hours:
1. Repeat steps 1 through 7 listed above.
