DEFLECTOR SHIELD

The deflector shield must pivot freely at all times, or processed material could back up, clogging the unit and requiring disassembly to clear

WARNING

Never use the unit unless the deflector shield is in place and operating properly. Material could be ejected out of the discharge chute with great force, injuring you or bystanders.

ENGINE SERVICE

Your chipper/shredder engine requires routine mainte- nance for long-life and trouble-free operation. Consult the manufacturer’s manual and the Normal Care section for specific recommendations and service procedures.

WARNING

Never use a malfunctioning unit to process material, even if it appears to be chipping materi- al adequately — AN UNEXPECTED KICK-BACK COULD OCCUR, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO YOU OR BYSTANDERS.

Serious equipment damage could also result, voiding the warranty and requiring extensive repairs by a qualified service location.
