Section 1 - Safety Information
Be Prepared
If the equipment malfunctions or a malfunction
is suspected, immediately stop all operations
and shutdown the vehicle until proper repairs
are made.
Use only thoroughly trained personnel to
perform maintenance or repairs.
Cutter Hazard
Raising the lift arm and securing it with the locking
arm and latch can be hazardous and requires spe-
cial precautions that must be observed to reduce
the possibility of severe injury to personnel and
damage to equipment. Common sense and good
judgement must be used whenever the cutter is
raised and secured for transit.
The following safety precautions when op -
erating the cutter:
• All operators and support personnel should
be fully trained in the safe operation of the
grinding unit.
• As the lift arm moves up and down, pinch
points are formed. Make sure to keep hands,
feet, hair, jewelry, loose clothing, etc. away
from these pinch points. If any of these items
become caught, serious personal injury or
death could occur.
• Keep working area clear of all pedestrians
while operating the cutter. Never allow anyone
to walk, stand, or perform work near the cutter
while it is in operation.
• Align the vehicle and the cutter arm with the
road surface before engaging and lowering
the cutter.
• Always stop and raise the cutter before revers-
ing the vehicle or making sharp turns.
• After completing operations, always secure
the cutter am in the full up position with the
locking arm and pins, disengage the transmis-
sion PTO and shift the truck to TRAVEL mode.
• Never move or drive the vehicle at highway
speeds with the lift arm unsecured with the
locking arm and latch.
• If adjustments are required with the cutting
drum rotating, always make sure the safety
shroud is in place securely fastened.
DANGER
A ROTATING CUTTING DRUM CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH IF HANDS, FEET OR LOOSE CLOTHING ARE
CAUGHT BY THE TEETH. ADDITIONALLY, LOOSE TEETH
OR DEBRIS STUCK IN TEETH CAN BE THROWN FROM THE
DRUM WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE INJURY.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SAFETY SHROUD IS PROPERLY
INSTALLED AND THE HEAD IS ON THE GROUND BEFORE
MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE CUTTER ENGAGED.
NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND NEAR OR BEHIND THE
CUTTER WHILE THE DRUM IS ROTATING WITH THE SAFETY
SHROUD REMOVED.
DANGER
ALWAYS MAKE SURE AN OPERATOR IS IN THE DRIVER
SEAT AND MONITORING THE CUTTER AND ANY PERSONNEL
NEAR THE CUTTER WITH THE VIDEO SYSTEM WHENEVER
CUTTING DRUM IS ROTATING. THE OPERATOR MUST
BE VIGILANT AND PREPARED TO SHUT THE MACHINE
DOWN IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE
ADJUSTMENTS ARE BEING MADE TO THE CUTTER WHILE
THE DRUM IS ROTATING.
WARNING
AS THE LIFT ARM MOVES UP AND DOWN PINCH POINTS
ARE FORMED THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH IF HANDS, FEET, HAIR, JEWELRY, LOOSE CLOTHING,
ETC. GET CAUGHT IN THESE PINCH POINTS. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE ALL PERSONNEL ARE WELL CLEAR OF CUTTER
COMPONENTS AND LIFT LINKAGE BEFORE RAISING THE
LIFT ARM. NEVER WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY
WHILE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT.
1.4 electrical System hazards
The electrical system on your vehicle is powered
by a high amperage 12 or 24 volt DC electrical sys-
tem. To avoid short circuits and circuit overloads
that can damage the electrical system or cause a
fire, the following precautions apply:
• Turn the main circuit breakers to the OFF posi-
tion when the vehicle is unattended.
• All circuit breakers for overload protection in
electrical circuits must be kept in good condi-
tion.
• Never attempt to correct a blown fuse with a
fuse of a higher amperage. This could result
in equipment damage or an electrical fire.
