SAFE WORKING 5

BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY

The operator should be aware of the following points:

MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the chipper of at least 10 metres for the

general public or employees without adequate protection. Use hazard tape to identify this

working area and keep it clear from debris build up. Chips should be ejected away from any

area the general public have access to.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The chipping

action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to

respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be chipped before

you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.

BE AWARE when the chipper is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material

can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the

funnel, the brash may push you to one side causing danger. Badly twisted brash should be

trimmed before being chipped to avoid thrashing in the feed funnel.

BE AWARE that the chipper can eject chips out of the feed funnel with considerable force.

Always wear full head and face protection.

ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.

WARNING

The chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on

sharp blades on the chipper rotor. To keep the blades sharp, only feed the

machine with clean brushwood. DO NOT put muddy/dirty wood, roots,

potted plants, bricks, stones or metal into the chipper. !

OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Chainsaw safety helmet

fitted with mesh visor and

recommended ear defenders

to the appropriate

specifications.

Work gloves with

elasticated wrist.

Close fitting heavy-duty

non-snag clothing.

Face mask if

appropriate.

DO NOT

wear rings, bracelets,

watches, jewellery or any

other items that could be

caught in the material and

draw you into the chipper.

Steel toe cap safety boots.

SAFE WORKING 6

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS

DO NOT operate chipper unless available light is

sufficient to see clearly.

DO NOT use or attempt to start the chipper

without the feed funnel, guards and discharge

unit securely in place.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel

when using the chipper. Stand to one side.

DO NOT allow -

DO NOT smoke when refuelling.

DO NOT let anyone who has not received

instruction operate the machine.

DO NOT climb on the machine at any time.

DO NOT handle material that is partially engaged

in the machine.

DO NOT touch any exposed wiring while

machine is running.

DO NOT use the chipper inside buildings.

- to enter the machine, as damage is likely.

ALWAYS stop the chipper engine before making

any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.

ALWAYS check rotor has stopped rotating and

remove chipper ignition key before maintenance

of any kind, or whenever the machine is to be left

unattended.

ALWAYS check the machine is well supported

and cannot move.

ALWAYS operate the chipper with the engine set

to maximum speed when chipping.

ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.

ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal

protective equipment for long periods can be

tiring and hot.

ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of

feed opening, discharge and moving parts.

ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push

stick to push in short pieces. Under no

circumstances should you reach into the funnel.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,

animals and children.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from

debris build up.

ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.

Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.

ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place

before commencing work. Failure to do so may

result in personal injury or loss of life.

ALWAYS operate the chipper in a well ventilated

area - exhaust fumes are dangerous.

SAFE TRANSPORTATION

WHEN towing a chipper the maximum speed limit is 60 mph.

ON rough or bumpy road surfaces reduce speed accordingly to protect your machine from

unnecessary vibration.

WHEN towing off road be aware of objects that may catch the chipper undergear.

WHEN towing off road ensure inclination is not excessive.

AVOID excessively pot holed ground.

WHEN reversing the chipper the short wheel base will react quickly to steering.

ALWAYS check the discharge is tight before moving.

KEEP tyre pressures inflated to 1.8 bar or 26 psi.

CHECK wheel nuts are tightened to 90Nm or 65 lbs ft.

CLEAR loose chippings and debris from the machine before departing.

ENSURE the feed funnel is closed and the catch is properly engaged before departing.

CHECK the ball head is well greased.

WIND jockey wheel assembly anticlockwise until the tow head is above the height of the ball

hitch on the vehicle.

REVERSE the vehicle so the ball hitch is directly below the tow head.

ATTACH the breakaway cable / secondary coupling to a strong point on the vehicle, not the

ball hitch.

GRASP handle on tow head and push back catch with thumb.

WIND the jockey wheel assembly clockwise, to lower the tow head onto the ball hitch.

RELEASE handle and continue to wind jockey wheel clockwise. The tow head should snap

into place on the ball hitch. If it doesn't, repeat previous 2 steps.

WIND jockey wheel up until fully retracted and the jockey wheel frame is seated in its notch on

the stem. The chipper weight should be fully on the vehicle.

RELEASE the jockey wheel clamp and slide the jockey wheel assembly fully up.

TIGHTEN clamp on the jockey wheel assembly.

CONNECT electrical plug to socket on rear of towing vehicle and check operation of all the

trailer and vehicle lights.

THE chipper is now properly attached to the vehicle.

HITCHING ONTO THE TOW BALL

ENSURE the chipper will not roll away after being disconnected from the vehicle.

DISCONNECT the electrical cable from the vehicle socket.

RELEASE breakaway cable / secondary coupling.

RELEASE the jockey wheel assembly clamp.

LOWER the jockey wheel assembly fully.

RETIGHTEN the jockey wheel assembly clamp.

WIND the jockey wheel assembly anticlockwise until it starts to take the weight of the chipper.

GRASP the handle and release the catch with your thumb.

CONTINUE to wind the jockey wheel anticlockwise. This should lift the tow head clear of the ball hitch.

DRIVE the vehicle clear of the chipper.

WIND the jockey wheel assembly to a suitable point where the chipper is level.

THE chipper is now fully detached from the vehicle.

UNHITCHING THE CHIPPER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9

ENGINE CONTROLS

The engine speed is controlled by the vertically adjustable lever shown in diagram below. With the

throttle lever in the FAST position the machine is ready to chip. It MUST be pushed up as far as

possible to achieve a suitable working speed.

If no wood is to be chipped for a few minutes the throttle should be returned to the idle position.
