GENERAL SAFETY
OPERATION SAFETY
Starting Procedure
Before operating, walk completely around the machine to make certain no one
is under it, on it or close to it. Keep all bystanders at least 75 feet away from
the area of operation and equipment movement. Let all other workers and
bystanders know you are preparing to start. DO NOT operate until everyone
is clear.
Always be properly seated in the operator’s seat before operating any excava-
tor controls.
To start:
•
Make sure all controls are in the center (neutral) position.
•
Be properly seated.
•
Slowly operate all functions to check for proper operation and to bleed
air from the hydraulic system.
To shut down:
•
Return the processor to a rest position on the ground.
•
Shut off the excavator engine.
•
Work controls in all directions to relieve hydraulic pressure.
IF MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE IS TO BE PERFORMED, MAKE SURE
THE ATTACHMENT IS PROPERLY BLOCKED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
ROTATION OF THE ATTACHMENT ONTO OPERATOR OR MECHANIC. DO
NOT RELY ON ROTATION MOTOR OR OTHER ROTATION COMPONENTS
TO INHIBIT MOVEMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT DURING MAINTENANCE
OR SERVICING. ALWAYS PRACTICE LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
Process Material Safely
Using the processor in unauthorized applications may create an unsafe situa-
tion and will void the warranty.
Do not operate any functions of the excavator while cutting or processing mate-
rial with the jaws, including boom and drive functions.
DO NOT PULL DOWN STRUCTURES WITH THE PROCESSOR. DOING SO
MAY CAUSE FALLING DEBRIS, OR MATERIAL MAY BREAK FREE AND
EXCEED THE CAPACITIES OF THE EXCAVATOR, CAUSING A TIPPING
HAZARD.
The rotator should only be used for positioning the processor. Do not use the
rotator to pry or break material. Rotating attachments are not designed to
stand up to excavator break-out forces.
