(1) Perform more frequently under extremely dusty conditions.
(2) Perform more frequently when chipping dry or dirty wood.
As the Limited Warranty states, failure by the Owner to perform normal maintenance will void the machine’s
warranty. The aggressive, high-speed nature of chipping REQUIRES THE OWNER TO PERFORM THE
ABOVE LISTED NORMAL MAINTENANCE. Special consideration to maintain and re-torque the CHIPPER
ANVIL, CHIPPER BLADES, and ALL INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NUTS AND BOLTS is the sole responsibility
of the Owner. Failure by the Owner to do so shall be cause for denial of warranty.
