Safety
Respiratory Protection
Rayco recommends the use of dust masks or respirators
to be worn over the nose and mouth that protect the lungs
from air-borne dust and irritants. When working in activities
such as chipping brush, stump grinding, working near old
wood or chip piles, non-toxic nuisance dusts can be harmful.
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care must be taken in order to ensure the fluids are contained
during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing,
adjusting and repair of the equipment. Prepare to collect the
fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment
or disassembling any component that contains fluids.
Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids.
Crushing & Cutting Prevention
Support the equipment properly before you perform any work
or maintenance beneath that equipment. Do not depend on
the hydraulic cylinders to hold up the equipment. Equipment
can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Do not perform any work until you have read and followed
the proper “Lock-Out / Tag-Out” procedures.
Do not work beneath the cab of the machine unless the cab
is properly supported.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt
adjustments while the machine is moving or while the engine
is running.
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals in order to
start the engine. Unexpected machine movement could result.
Whenever there are equipment control linkages, the clearance
in the linkage area will change with the movement of the
equipment or the machine. Stay clear of areas that may have
a sudden change in clearance with machine movement or
equipment movement.
Avoid contact with the rotating feed wheel, cutter wheel
and rotor.
Always shut-off the engine and wait for all moving parts,
belts, fans, rotors, drums, cutting wheels (etc.) to come to a
complete stop before opening access covers and/or guards.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. A moving belt,
pulley, sprocket and chain can suddenly pull a limb into them
causing loss or severe injury.
If it is necessary to remove guards in order to perform
maintenance, always install the guards after the maintenance
is performed.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blade
will throw or cut objects.
Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire cable. Wear
gloves when you handle wire cable.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer pin
can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel.
Make sure that the area is clear of people when you strike
a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective
glasses when you strike a retainer pin.
If equipment is unhitched from the tow vehicle for operation,
always block the wheels and support the tongue weight
with blocking to prevent unintended movement. Do not use
only the jack stand to support the tongue while in operation.
NOTICE
Dust masks and/or particulate respirators only
protect against particles (e.g., dust). They do not
protect against chemicals, gases or vapors, and are
intended only for low hazard levels.
