IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent serious injury:
All operators of the GeoRipper® minitrencher must read and fully understand this Operator’s
and Safety Manual prior to operating the minitrencher.
All operators must use required Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) as outlined by local or
national safety codes. PPE for feet, legs, eyes, hands, face and ears should be worn at all times
while operating the GeoRipper minitrencher. At minimum, the operator shall wear safety-toe
boots, safety glasses and ear plugs.
KEEP FEET AND HANDS CLEAR OF DIGGING CHAIN AT ALL TIMES.
Before you dig:
check the location of
all
underground services, especially electric
cables.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Check that the powerhead, including handles, and all safety apparatus are in good working
order.
Ensure that the GeoRipper® minitrencher is correctly fitted to the powerhead, the chain and
belt are correctly tensioned, all nuts and bolts are tight and the belt guard is in place. Before
starting the engine, remove and inspect the digging chain for any damage.
When starting the powerhead (see Fig. B), use the correct safety starting techniques as outlined
in the powerhead operator’s manual and
ensure that the digging chain is clear of contact with
the ground or any other object. For extra safety, make sure the area around the digging chain
is clear of loose vegetation, the digging chain may rotate upon startup of the powerhead. To
stop chain from rotating, depress throttle control to increase engine RPM. After engine slows
to idle, the chain should be stationary.
DIGGING CHAIN MUST BE STATIONARY WHEN POWERHEAD IS AT IDLE.
(Refer to powerhead operator’s manual for correct idle adjustment.)
