Genesis GXT Mobile Shear 29
GENERAL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all rules and procedures outlined in the Operation Safety section of this manual.
Use the shear only as intended, in approved applications, as set forth in this manual.
Do not allow shear, exposed cylinder rod or hoses to come into contact with any obstacles,
buildings or the excavator.
The shear is not intended to crush or break objects or structures by swinging or dropping the
shear.
Start-up
During initial operation and any time jaw maintenance has been performed, process thin and
lighter material first to work-harden wear areas, developing a harder, more durable edge. This is
also the most effective time to process materials such as sheet metal or wire. The new or repaired
edges will cut more efficiently and be less likely to jam material between the blades.
When operating in temperatures below freezing, it is
also important to process light materials first. This allows
the shear’s structural material to “warm up,” preventing
thermal cracking.
NOTICE
Efficient and Productive Operation
Operators should become accustomed to performing work in the most proficient manner possible.
When cutting, build up and cut out of small piles, keeping the surfaces of the shear chin plate
and upper jaw out of the dirt as much as possible. Dirt is much more abrasive than steel and
needlessly increases build-up and hard-surfacing time and intervals.
It also helps to give yourself enough room to keep out of the way of other personnel and
machines. Material should be picked from a pile and swung to the side and cut in a new area. This
prevents redundant cutting of the same pieces and allows for the newly prepared material to be
loaded out with another material handling machine.
Material processing areas should be as close as safely possible to the location for loading
materials for transportation. Less time spent processing, loading and transporting materials greatly
affects operational costs and productivity and dramatically reduces man hours, fuel costs and
wear on equipment.
Operators should develop the habit of assessing materials to be processed and visualizing a
starting and finishing point to use the fewest cuts possible. Excessive moving, positioning and
handling cost time and money. Bringing the jaws to full open, when only partial jaw open is needed
for a cut, wastes time and fuel, slows other excavator functions as well as causes needless wear
to hydraulic components, hoses and o-rings. More efficient processing will extend the life of the
attachment.
