Keep hands, feet and clothing from power driven parts.
Practice Safe Maintenance
•

manual, located in
Hurricane’s
owner manual for instructions and additional safety
requirements.
•
Vacuum creates VERY HIGH SUCTION—EXTREME CAUTION IS REQUIRED when
handling suction inlet locations.

•
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when performing maintenance on unit.
•
Whenever vacuuming sticky materials, such as thick slurry, check the hopper often to verify all
the material is discharging and not building up on the inside. Utilize vibrator often to minimize
material build-up.
Engine Exhaust

Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. DO NOT operate engine in an enclosed area
without proper ventilation or exhaust pipe extension to the atmosphere.
