PERFORMING MAINTENANCE (CONT.):
Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
Use extreme caution when making adjustments.
Never use your hands to locate hydraulic leaks on
attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or
wood. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin.
When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut off hydraulic supply and relieve all
hydraulic pressure.
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from
hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once.
Gangrene can result. Without immediate treatment, serious infection and
reactions can occur.
Replace all shields and guards after servicing and before moving.
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any step or platform.
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five (5) bolts unless otherwise
specified.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and
servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must be used to restore your
equipment to original specifications. ROTO-MIX will not claim responsibility
for use of unapproved parts and/or accessories and other damages as a
result of their use.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, ROTO-MIX
does not accept any liability for injury or warranty.
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while
performing maintenance on this mixer/feeder.
