MP SERIES CONE CRUSHER TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
– Never clear a jam on or in the feeder,
crushing cavity or conveyors when system
is energized.
– Do not put hands or feet on the release
cylinders, which protect the crusher from
tramp iron overloads while the crusher is
in operation.
– Do check the manufacturer's
recommendations for periodic
maintenance procedures. These
maintenance procedures are designed to
not only avoid damage to the equipment
but also to avoid harm to the Operator.
– Do avoid spillage around the crusher.
Operator should make it a habit to keep
the area immediately adjacent to the
crusher free from spillage, which could
cause people to trip and fall.
– Never stand in front of the feed opening or
look into the crushing cavity while the
crusher is operating.
– When using a crane or other lifting device
to raise or lower a load keep all personnel
clear of the area.
– Never detach a lifting device from its load
until the load is securely affixed at its
designation, or steps have been
implemented to prevent the load from
unintended shifting or falling.
– Never walk, stand, crawl or lay under any
load hanging from a crane or other lifting
device.
– Store and secure hazardous materials in
restricted areas. Mark materials clearly
and make sure any federal or other
labelling regulations are followed.
– Store gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic oil,
cleaning solvent and any other flammable
material in a cool, dry, ventilated and
secure location.
– Avoid spills of fuels, oils, lubricants, or
antifreeze. If spills occur, contain and
neutralize them with an approved agent
and dispose of them properly.
– Use only quality Metso replacement parts.
Handle parts carefully to prevent damage
to machined surfaces. Machined surfaces
may have sharp edges. Replace fasteners
with the same type, size and quality as the
original parts.
WARNING
Never start and run a diesel or gasoline
engine in an enclosed area that is not
ventilated. Although carbon monoxide is
odorless and colorless, it is deadly.
