SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Before operation of the STORM please read the entire operation and safety
manual with complete understanding of the safety section. If you have any
questions about safety and/or precautions please call 1-866-636-7763.
A regular schedule of Preventive Maintenance on your equipment is the
best protection against unpleasant surprises that could slow production
and/or result in injuries. Here are a few suggested safety, operating, and
maintenance tips.
● Maintenance or inspection - Before performing any maintenance or
repairs.
○ Make sure the STOP button is pushed down.
○ Remove the cutting blade or lower it to the floor.
○ Chock the rear wheels.
● Wear proper eye and ear protection. Wear heavy-duty work gloves at
all times, especially when changing blades or attachments.
● Check machine daily for loose bolts or nuts and torque to the correct
torque specifications. For example, the center rear wheel motor axle
nut should be torqued to at least 200 ft/lbs. Not doing this could
cause the wheel and hub to fall off and would also cause the wheel
motor axle to be damaged, resulting in high replacement costs.
● Replace worn parts when necessary.
● Do not reach into blade or control arm areas while machine is in
operation.
● Be sure a qualified electrician does all electrical inspections or
changes.
● Loose surface coating can cause dangerous footing. Always be alert
and careful.
● After replacing parts, make sure all tools used are removed from the
machine.
