Stopping the Chipper

1. Push in the Blade Control Knob (newer Field and Brush

Mowers) or move the Blade Control Lever to the

“Disengaged” position (older Field and Brush Mowers) on

the Control Panel, return the Throttle to Idle and turn off

the Field and Brush Mower engine. Be sure to remove the

Key from the Field and Brush Mower for safety.

NOTE: When removing the DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT from

the DR Field and Brush Mower, be sure to disconnect the Machine

harness at the interface between the Chipper Attachment and the

DR Field and Brush Mower.

Operation Notes

 Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage before each use

of the machine. See “Visual Inspection of the Chipper Knife

(before each use)” in Chapter 4 for info on accessing the

Chipper Knife (remove the Front Knife Access Cover only).

 Always operate the Engine at full speed when chipping.

 Only operate the DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT from the

Operator Zone (Figure 30).

 Keep proper balance and footing while operating the DR

CHIPPER ATTACHMENT.

 ALWAYS push in the Blade Control Knob (newer Field and Brush Mower) or move the Blade Control Lever to the “Disengaged”

position (older Field and Brush Mowers) and stop the engine when leaving the Operating Zone or when moving the machine.

 Never move the Machine while the Flywheel is turning.

Processing Material

 Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while chipping to protect your eyes from possible thrown

debris.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which might catch on moving parts or the material fed into the chipper hopper.

 We recommend wearing gloves while chipping. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your chipper. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not

use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

 Wear long pants while operating the DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT.

 Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.

 The chipper hopper must be securely bolted to your DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT and the blowback shield in place before

using the machine.

Use common sense when using the machine. Learn to recognize the change in sounds when overloaded. Disengage the blade at

the control panel of the Field and Brush Mower immediately if the machine becomes jammed to prevent damage to the drive

system.
