Safety Orientation

Safe Operation

CRAM

LOT

balers meet or exceed all safety standards set by ANSI. Although we have included many safety

features in the design and construction of your baler, safe operation of the equipment depends on the operator's

adherence to certain guidelines. To prevent accidents to personnel or damage to the baler, the operator

must

NEVER

VIOLATE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

It is the owner / employer’s responsibility to

ensure these guidelines are known and followed by all operators of the baler.

NOTE: Publication of these safety precautions does not imply or represent an inclusive list.

NEVER

place hands or arms in the baler while it is operating.

NEVER

stand behind the baler while it is operating.

NEVER

climb in or on the baler, nor perform any maintenance/repairs unless the power is disconnected and

locked / tagged out.

NEVER

allow anyone except qualified electrical or hydraulic repair persons to work on the equipment.

NEVER

disable any safety switch.

NEVER

overload the baling chamber.

NEVER

place concrete, heavy steel plate or castings, explosive materials, liquids, nor hazardous waste in the

baler.

NOTE: Hydraulic oil is the primary element of power transmission on the baler. Remember that hydraulic systems

can remain pressurized even after the motor has stopped and or the power disconnected. Refer to the Lock Out /

Tag Out instructions found elsewhere in this manual for instructions concerning the neutralization of these energy

sources.

Safety Terminology

The accident prevention decals on your

CRAM

LOT

baler meet or exceed standards set by ANSI and OSHA.

It is important that you are familiar with the terminology used on the decals and the varying degrees of hazards that

are associated with this terminology.

DANGER—Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations. The signal word Danger should not be used for prop-

erty damage hazards unless personal injury risk appropriate to the level is also involved.

WARNING—Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This signal word should not be used for property damage hazards unless personal injury risk appropriate to this level

is also involved.

CAUTION—Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices that may also cause property damage.

NOTICE—Indicates a statement of company policy directly or indirectly related to the safety of personnel or protec-

tion of property. This signal word should not be associated directly with a hazard or hazardous situation.

For information on proper decal location and ordering information, please see the Maintenance section of this manu-

Baler Operation, cont.
