The magnetic head pulley and cross-belt conveyor can
be damaged and lose magnetic strength if dropped, hit
with repeated hammer blows, welded on incorrectly, or
brought within 10 feet (3 meters) of large, operating AC
electrical transformers.
Drive Tracks
The drive tracks carry the weight of the machine on the
ground. You can activate them individually or as a pair
to move the machine forward and back and to make
turns. They are controlled by a hand-held remote trans-
mitter. When they are ready to move and are moving,
beeping alarms sound to warn anyone nearby. When the
alarm sounds, move away and stay clear of the machine.
At any time, the machine can move and turn without
further warning. Any person can be severely or fatally
injured if run over by a track or caught in a track mech-
anism.
Fire Prevention and
Suppression
Regular cleaning and maintenance is the primary means
of reducing the risk of fire hazard. Safety is your
responsibility.
Daily Fire Prevention
Fire prevention starts with the daily practice of ensuring
safe operation before, during, and after running the
machine. At least once each day or more often, depend-
ing on your operation, clean combustible materials from
the engine, the exhaust system, bearing housings, and
other heat sources.
Train new employees in fire prevention and fire emer-
gencies. Regularly re-train more experienced personnel
for fire prevention and emergencies. Get training on
when and how to use the fire extinguisher from a fire
safety specialist. Always place personal safety ahead of
the need to extinguish fires.
Before Operation
Before starting or operating your machine, do the fol-
lowing:
•
Read and understand fire safety statements in this
manual.
•
Be sure all items for fire suppression and prevention
are ready for use.
•
Be sure all personnel are trained in the use of fire
prevention and suppression equipment.
•
Inspect the machine and the area for fire hazards.
During Operation
At all times while the machine is being operated, main-
tained, or inspected, do the following:
•
Watch for hot ignitable materials, smoke or other
signs of fire.
•
Extinguish any fire immediately.
•
Repair any oil or fuel leaks immediately.
