MULTIPLE HAZARDS—Failure to maintain machine in proper working order can result in
fatal or serious injury to operators and/or damage to property. DO NOT permit operation
under any of the following circumstances:
☞
Malfunctioning door interlock mechanism.
☞
Malfunctioning limit switches.
☞
Malfunctioning two hand inching.
☞
Any evidence of cylinder damage.
☞
Missing or removed guards, covers, or side panels.
☞
Malfunctioning tilting components, including but not limited to safety limit switches,
electrical interlocks, and operator controls.
☞
If any of these conditions occur:
•
The machine makes a sound like skidding automobile tires as it comes out of extract.
•
The wash or drain clutch does not disengage or it reengages during extract.
•
V-belts jump off at the start of, during, or at the end of extract.
•
A strange whining sound occurs at any time during extract.
BURN HAZARD — Machines equipped with heat exchangers and their associ-
ated piping may be hot enough to burn body parts on contact.
☞
Provide safety guards, fences, restraints, or covers as required to isolate hot
surfaces.
Ê Additional Hazards During Tilting Machine Maintenance
CRUSH/SEVER HAZARD—Tilting mechanisms can crush or sever parts of your
body caught in them.
☞
Install the safety stands before performing maintenance under a tilted ma-
chine.
☞
NEVER test or operate (manually or automatically) any machine function
with any portion of a person’s body under the tilted machine—even if the
safety stands are installed.
CRUSH/SEVER HAZARD—Tilting machines with tilt wheels/cradles may lunge for-
ward or rearward and even fall over if the tilt wheels at the non-tilted end are raised
out of their cradles—killing/injuring personnel and/or damaging property.
☞
NEVER manually tilt (lift) both ends of the machine at the same time. One end must
always be seated in its cradle.
☞
ALWAYS visually inspect the tilt wheels to be sure they are all fully seated in their cra-
dles before each manual tilt up.
☞
Hydraulic valve manual operation must be done by trained competent maintenance per-
sonnel who thoroughly understand the system and all the consequences of manual
operations.
☞
ALWAYS understand beforehand all the consequences of manually operating hydraulic
valves.
☞
NEVER permit operation with malfunctioning tilt limit switches.
