LUBRICATE WHEEL AXLES

To lubricate, squirt 3-5 drops of engine oil on each wheel axle. Wipe up any run-off and spin wheels briefly to work oil around entire axle.

INSPECT CHIPPER CONE &

SHREDDER HOPPER

The chipper cone and shredder hopper are made of a highly durable polyethylene material that can withstand repeated abrasion and impact from normal chipper/shredder waste material processing.

Check these parts to make sure that they haven’t been damaged or worn excessively by constant use, and replace them if they are cracked, worn out, or no longer fit securely on the chipper/shredder unit.

Contact your local authorized dealer for replacement parts.

Cracks, worn areas, and loose attachment points can cause material to jam or clog when feeding it into the machine, and may result in kick-back or other hazard to the operator.

Contact your local dealer for replacement parts if your unit shows any evidence of these problems, and discon- tinue use of the unit until the appropriate repairs can be made.

Never try to make temporary repairs yourself, as the repairs could give way during chipper/shredder opera- tion, and expose you and bystanders in the area to risk of injury.

Never attempt to install non-factory parts on your chip- per/shredder unit. These parts could appear to fit, but could cause operating and safety problems that might lead to equipment damage and/or injury.
