KEEP CLEAR OF THE WORK AREA
The purpose of a Power Mulcher is to cut and thrash bales of hay and discharge the
processed mulch away from the machine. The Power Mulcher utilizes a powerful
engine which turns a main drive shaft , beater chains and blower wheel at high
speed to process the hay. It is obvious that this same capacity will sever arms,
hands, fingers or any other part of the body that is in the work area when the
machine is activated.
Additionally, the discharge from the blower is capable of blowing mulch in excess
of 100 feet on some models. The machine's discharge is powerful enough to
dislodge pebbles, stones or other debris which may cause eye injury.
The person responsible for activating the machine is the boom operator. It is his responsibility to see not only that his own body
is clear of the work area and all moving parts, but that his co-workers are clear also and are entirely visible in a safe location
before activating the machine.
During set-up, maintenance or other work on the machine which requires manipulation within the beater drum, fan housing,
boom, feed tray, engine or other work area, the key should be removed from the machine and battery disconnected.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Protect your eyes from blowing chaff as well as rocks and other foreign debris found in mulch bales. Use
approved impact resistant eye wear.
As the conditions dictate, the use of respirators to protect you from inhaling nuisance dust is recommended.
Construction equipment is noisy. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Use approved ear protection to control this hazard.
Reflective gear and hard hats may also be necessary depending on your job site.
PRACTICE WORK AREA SAFETY RULES
The location of your job site will demand that additional safety practices be implemented.
Always follow the applicable OSHA regulations.
While working on road sides and interstate highways, insure that appropriate strobes,
flashers and other warning devices are installed on all vehicles as required by law. All
workers should be wearing high visibility reflective vests. Anti-crash vehicles should be
employed when appropriate. The use of barriers and flagmen is suggested. Be aware of
the traffic flow and use caution to avoid discharging towards vehicles.
Since Power Mulchers are used at a variety of locations (strip mines, coal storage areas, land fills, refineries, power plants, and
protected wilderness areas) it is imperative to contact the appropriate safety official or regulating agency to obtain information
regarding any special safety considerations on specific job sites.
FIRE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY
The potential for fire always exists. The combination of fuels, heat from engines,and clean dry straw increase
the risk. Have a fire extinguisher near the work area. Learn to look for it before you begin working.
Always keep the machine clean of chaff and debris.
