WARNING
Never remove guards or shields with tractor engine running.
Never start tractor with guards and shields removed. Doing so
can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING
Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor’s master shield and could cause bodily injury or death.
!
WARNING
Always make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened to
the tractor PTO shaft and chipper drive shaft before engaging
PTO. A loose driveline can slip off the end of a connected shaft
while rotating and cause serious bodily injury or death.

WARNING
Do not lift unit up with driveline engaged or operate unit in
the raised position. The driveline can break and throw off

tractors are equipped with multispeed PTO ranges. Be certain
your tractor’s PTO is set for 540 rpm.
