Maintenance Safety
•
Be sure to inspect all safety devices (including safety shields, guards, deflectors, etc.)
before each use.
Safety Device Examples
•
Maintain all safety decals and make sure they are visible to the operator. If decals are
worn, contact your nearest RockHound dealer for replacements.
•
Replace bent or broken blades with new ones. Do not attempt to weld or bend dam-
aged blades. This can cause cracking or other types of damage that could result in the
blade being thrown from the shredder.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection and exercise care when handling blades. Also be alert
to worn or damaged surfaces that could have sharp edges.
•
Disengage hydraulics and shut off engine, allowing all movement to stop before leaving
the operator
’
s position to adjust, lubricate, clean or unclog the machine.
•
Replace rubber guard on the front of the attachment if torn, frayed, punctured or worn
before operating this equipment.
•
Before working on or underneath the attachment, place blocks on both sides (front and
back) of operating vehicle tires or treads and under each end of the attachment to pre-
vent accidental lowering of the machine. Also remove the ignition key from the operat-
ing vehicle and allow all movement to stop before beginning work.
