SPARK ARRESTER WARNING TO RESIDENTS OF
CALIFORNIA AND SEVERAL OTHER STATES
Under California law, and under the laws of several
other states, you are not permitted to operate an inter¬
nal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any
forest, brush, hay, grain, or grass covered land; or
land covered by any flammable agricultural crop with¬
out an engine spark arrester in continuous effective
working order.
The engine on the unit is an internal combustion
engine which burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and
must be equipped with a spark arrester muffler in con¬
tinuous effective working order. The spark arrester
must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such
a manner that flames or heat from the system will not
ignite flammable material. Failure of the owner/opera¬
tor of the unit to comply with this regulation is a mis¬
demeanor under California law (and other states) and
may also be a violation of other state and/or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances or codes. Contact your
local fire marshal or forest service for specific informa¬
tion about which regulations apply in your area.

Training
1. Read this Owner’s
Manual and the separate
Engine Owner’s Manual very carefully
before operating this equipment. Be com¬
pletely familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Know how
to stop the unit and disengage the con¬
trols quickly. A replacement Manual is
available by contacting your authorized
dealer or the Factory.
2. Know where the engine shut-off con¬
trol is and know how to use it (refer to
Section 3 in this Manual).
3. Never allow children or untrained
adults to use this equipment. Allow adults
to operate the equipment only if instructed
properly.
4. Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, particularly small children and
pets. Keep bystanders at least 25 feet
from the area of operation.
5. Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people, their property
and themselves.
6. Familiarize yourself with all safety and
operating decals on this equipment and on
any of its attachments or accessories.
7. Do not run engine in an enclosed area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
gas, a deadly poison that is odorless, col¬
orless, and tasteless. Do not operate this
equipment near buildings, windows, or air
conditioning equipment.
8. Do not put hands, feet, face, or any
other part of your body or clothing near
the chipper chute, shredder hopper, or
discharge area. The cutting blades begin
to rotate and build up speed once the
engine is running and continue to rotate
for some time after the engine is stopped.
Serious personal injury will occur if con¬
tact with the blades is made while they are
rotating. Wait for all moving parts to stop
completely.
9. Before inspecting or servicing any part
of the equipment, shut off engine, make
sure all moving parts have come to a
complete stop, then disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug and move wire away
from the plug.
Preparation
1. The operation of the unit can result in
foreign objects being thrown by high
speed rotating parts. Wear safety approved
eye protection (with side shields) when
using the unit.
2. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, such
as scarves, which could be caught by
moving parts. Tie up or restrain long hair.
3. Make sure the unit is level and stable
before starting the engine. Operate unit
only on level ground.
4. Do not operate unit on a paved, hard,
or gravel surface. Discharged material
may bounce from a hard surface and
cause injury. Always operate unit on a
level, earthen surface.
5. Each time before starting the unit,
make a visual check to see that all screws,
nuts, bolts and other fasteners are prop¬
erly secured. The discharge screen (or
the optional bar grate), chipper chute
and all safety covers must be correctly
and securely installed. Disconnect
spark plug wire and move it away from
spark plug before performing this check.
Replace any damaged or unreadable
warning and operating decals.
