Section 1 - Safety Information
1.3 Electrical System Hazards
The electrical system on your vehicle is powered
by a high amperage 12 volt DC electrical system.
To avoid short circuits and circuit overloads that
can damage the electrical system or cause a fire,
the following precautions apply:
• Turn off the 12 volt master disconnect switch
and circuit breakers when the vehicle is unat-
tended or before servicing components.
• All circuit breakers and fuses for overload
protection in electrical circuits must be kept
in good condition.
• Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first
and when reconnecting, connect the negative
(-) cable last.
• Do not grind, weld or have open flame near
batteries. Sparks can cause explosion.
• Do not weld on truck without turning off the 12
volt master switch and disconnecting batteries.
• Do not short across battery terminals. Sparks
can cause an explosion.
1.4 Hydraulic System Hazard
The hydraulic system that powers mixer motors
and cylinders operates at extremely high pressure
(up to 3000 PSI). Always use extreme caution
when working around hydraulic systems. A high
pressure fluid leak from a damaged hose or fitting
can cause severe lacerations to a person’s skin or
inject hydraulic fluid into the blood stream, which
can be fatal.
The following precautions apply whenever
the vehicle is operating:
• Hydraulic hoses and connections must be
inspected frequently to ensure they are in
good condition and that there are no signs of
chaffing or deterioration.
• Make sure hoses are protected from contact
with sharp objects or chaffing.
• Stretched or abused hose can fail prematurely
and unexpectedly, which could cause injury to
personnel. Hoses that have been exposed to
excessive stretching, kinks or chaffing should
be replaced.
• Always make sure all personnel maintain a
safe distance from all hydraulic components
and hoses whenever the unit is in operation.
• Always depressurize the hydraulic system
before removing any hydraulic components,
hoses or fittings. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING
INJURIES FROM HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
COMPONENT FAILURES ARE VERY SERIOUS AND CAN
RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR A FATALITY. ALWAYS
MAKE SURE ALL PERSONNEL ARE A SAFE DISTANCE
FROM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND HOSES
WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING.
1.5 Fire Hazard
Fire is a potential hazard with all fuel powered
equipment. Your machine is equipped with a fire
extinguisher that must be inspected and serviced
at intervals recommended by the fire extinguisher
manufacturer.
Fire Suppression Equipment
Manual and automatic fire suppression equipment
operate differently. Operators should be properly
trained in the use of all fire suppression equipment
installed on your truck and be prepared to react
quickly if a fire occurs.
Fire suppression equipment requires regular
inspections to ensure that:
• Seals & tamper indicators are not broken or
missing.
• Pressure gauges or indicators read in the op-
erable range.
• The suppression equipment is properly
charged and ready for activation if needed.
• There is no obvious physical damage, corro-
sion, leakage or clogged nozzles.
Heater Exhaust System (Optional)
The heater exhaust system is designed to be
open to the atmosphere and requires unrestricted
exhaust flow for proper operation. Never add ex -
haust pipe caps or automatic flapper valves to the
heater exhaust pipe. These will restrict the flow
of exhaust gases which will result in incomplete
combustion and excessive temperatures in certain
components.
