SECTION 3 – OPERATING THE SURF RAKE
®
OPERATION
Do not allow individuals to operate the Surf Rake
®
without first receiving personalized
training and ensuring that they have read this manual.
Before each operation of the Surf Rake
®
, make a careful visual inspection of the machine.
Do not operate if you observe damaged or missing parts, missing guards, excessive wear or
unusual noise or vibration during startup.
Stand clear of hydraulic hoses and fittings while the Surf Rake
®
is in operation. A sudden
fitting or hose failure can inflict serious injury.
To prevent the tractor and/or Surf Rake
®
from capsizing and causing serious injury or death,
do not operate the Surf Rake
®
on a steep incline or unstable surface.
Do not allow a bystander to approach the Surf Rake
®
unless that individual is qualified and
is present to assist in the operation or repair of the machine. Never allow one person to
operate the controls of the Surf Rake
®
while another has any part of their body in or near a
pinch point.
Under no circumstances should a bystander stand under or near the hopper while it is being
raised or lowered.
To prevent injury, do not attempt to clear large obstacles by pushing them with the tractor
or Surf Rake
®
.
Never attempt to clear a jam by placing hands or any part of the body into or near the
machinery that has not been completely shut down. A jammed conveyor component can
immediately jump into motion and cause serious injury to hands or other body parts in
immediate contact with the components if the system is under hydraulic pressure.
