EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING.
Hazardous fumes/dust can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering or
using a torch. Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area and dispose of paint and
solvent properly. Remove paint before welding or heating.
When sanding or grinding paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respirator.
If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water before welding.
Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other flammable material from area. Allow
fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.
WARNING! END OF LIFE DISPOSAL.
At the completion of the useful life of the unit, drain all fluids and dismantle by separating the
different materials (rubber, steel, plastic, etc.). Follow all federal, state and local regulations
for recycling and disposal of the fluid and components.
\WARNING! KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE
Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear them.
When digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas, water, and
sewer, as well as any other hazard you may encounter.
DANGER!
ROTATING OBJECTS
• Never allow anyone to reach into, kick into, or otherwise come in contact with a
rotating auger or with a non-rotating clogged auger. The auger can crush and/or
dismember. Keep everyone clear of the auger until the prime mover engine is off and
the hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
• Never allow anyone to reach into the chute, force objects (i.e. bars, poles, etc.) down
the chute, kick into the fan, or otherwise come in contact with a rotating fan or with
a non-rotating clogged fan. The fan can throw objects at a lethal speed and can
dismember. Keep everyone clear of the fan until the prime mover engine is off and the
hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
CAUTION! AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• To avoid electrical shock during the wiring harness installation, remove the ground
cable from the battery of your prime mover.
• Be aware that turning off the prime mover key
does not cut the power to the chute
rotation motor or to the chute deflector actuator. With the switches for these devices
being powered 100% of the time, care must be taken to not engage these switches:
• accidentally at any time, especially when entering or leaving the prime mover
operator's position, or
• when others are working on or near the actuator, the deflector, the chute, or
any other part of this product that could cause personal injury if the switch or
switches are engaged.
• Avoid pinch points and be aware of rotating parts when manually turning the fan or
auger.
