SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
• Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have disappeared.
• Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or spark, such
as a gas hot water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of debris build-up. Clean up fuel and oil
spillage. Allow unit to cool at least five minutes before storing.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running.

• Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body in the chipper chute, discharge
opening, or near or under any moving part while the engine is running. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times. If it becomes necessary to push material into the chipper
chute, use a small diameter stick, NOT YOUR HANDS.
• Keep your face and body back from chipper chute to avoid accidental bounce back of any
material.
• The machine should only be operated on a level surface. Never operate your unit on a
slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface.
• Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an
unusual noise or vibration, immediately stop the engine, After the machine has come to a
complete stop proceed as follows:
• Remove the spark plug wire(s) and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
• Inspect for any damage
• Repair or replace any damaged parts before restarting and operating the machine.

• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the engine, and wait for
all moving parts to come to a complete stop and inspect for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning sign of trouble.

adjustments and inspections. STAY CLEAR OF THE CHIP CHUTE AT ALL TIMES.
