Before using the chipper
It is essential to carry out the following tests to check safety equipment - this sequence of tests will
only take a few seconds to carry out. We recommend that these tests are carried out daily. Observing
the function as described will confirm that the safety circuits are working correctly. This is also a good
opportunity to remind all operators of the control and emergency stop systems.
•
Start the engine, test if the feed roller and its hydraulic system can operate normally.
To ensure the safety bar is always operational it must be activated once before each work
•
session. The rollers will not function until the bar is activated. This procedure must be
repeated each time the ignition is switched off.
Check the emergency stop button as well.
•
Starting the engine
For a cold engine:
•
Place the throttle control at 1/3 throttle and pull the choke out.
Insert ignition key into starter switch.
•
•
Turn the key to start the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Gradually return the choke to the OFF position as the engine starts and warms up. Allow the
•
engine to warm up for at least one minute before chipping.
