Power Chute-Safety Information

causym CAUTION: If working on machine in power chute area, use all safety precautions. Listen to alarm and read all DANGER decals at point of hazard.

To avoid serious injury do not remove or open service cover/feed plate until rotation warning alarm stops. Pay close attention to rotation warning alarm; it signals movement at the power chute area and sounds as long as motion is detected. Power chute has a "run-down" time and could continue to turn for several minutes after main clutch is disengaged and engine is shut-down.

Alarm will not sound if engine is running and operator is seated. DO NOT allow others to access power chute area until engine is off and alarm has stopped sounding.

To shorten "run-down" time, reduce engine speed to slow idle before disengaging main clutch.

This machine has a cutterhead rotation alarm. Do not remove power chute service cover/feed plate or try to access area if alarm is sounding.
