MP SERIES CONE CRUSHER TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
0.2.2.4 Safety Instructions after Start-up
1. After equipment has been started, check all
gauges and instruments to be sure that
everything is operating properly.
2. Shut down immediately if any improper
readings are observed.
3. Test all controls for proper functioning.
4. Listen for and report any unusual noises.
5. Recheck alarms or other warning and safety
devices.
6. Do not take a chance with a defective
machine. Report it to your supervisor.
0.2.2.5 Report a Defective Machine
Inspect your machine daily. Check for loose, worn
or damaged parts. Report or correct any unsafe
conditions immediately, and do not operate the
machine until they have been corrected.
Even a minor defect can become serious. Report
any machine defects to your supervisor.
0.2.2.6 Stopping Safely
Be sure equipment is stopped before:
•
cleaning
• servicing
• lubricating
• checking belt tension
• removing housing covers
• working on the hydraulic system
• making repairs
• or attempting to clear a plugged cavity.
0.2.2.7 Blasting
The use of the Crusher Plant’s radio control device
is strictly forbidden during blasting operations, as it
may cause a premature explosion. Move the mobile
Crushing Plant far enough away from dangerous
area when blasting. Do not store or transport
explosives on mobile crushing plant or screening
plants.
0.2.2.8 Portable Plants
If the Crushing Plant includes of portable
equipment (i.e. crushing and screening equipment
mounted on trailers), trailer footing or cribbing is
extremely important for safe operation. Your
machine must be on as solid and level footing as
possible. If the ground is not naturally level, it must
be leveled so that the unit will operate safely and
effectively. The ground must support the weight of
entire unit and keep it from sinking or shifting. Use
heavy timber mats as needed. Trailers must be
raised so that trailer wheels do not touch the
ground.
Place jacks at designated jacking locations. Consult
the portable plant instruction manual if these are
not marked on the chassis. Typically the four
corners are supported along with points in between
where crusher, screen or feeder forces are
concentrated. Jacks must be used in pairs directly
opposed to each other. After correct height and
level are achieved, adjust each jack until vibrations
are reduced to a minimum. Insert locking pins if so
equipped. If holes for locking pins do not align,
loosen the jack and place metal shims under the
jack until the holes align.
Periodically recheck the trailer footing for stability.
WARNING
Only qualified and properly trained
operators and servicemen should operate or
service the machine. Everyone else should
stay clear of the machine when it is
operating, or under service or maintenance!
NOTICE
Make no checks, adjustments or repairs of
any kind while the equipment is in operation.
