Safety
The RAKE–O–VAC was designed and tested to offer
safe service when operated and maintained properly.
Although hazard control and accident prevention
partially are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine.
Improper use or maintenance of the machine can result
in injury or death. To reduce the potential for injury or
death, comply with the following safety instructions.
Since the Rake–O–Vac must be towed to operate, it is
extremely important that the tow tractor be carefully
selected to assure the best performance and safe operation.
The tow tractor must have the proper wheel base and tread
width and equipped with a roll bar and seat belt to operate
safely on hilly terrain. The normal operating speed is 6 mph
but will vary with terrain and debris being picked up. The
maximum transport speed is 20 mph with slower speeds
required on hilly terrain. Refer to tractor Operator’s Manual
for information or tractor service agency if you have any
question on safe operation.
The brakes of the tow tractor must have the capacity to stop
the Rake–O–Vac with hopper fully loaded and traveling at
the maximum recommended transport speed.
The Rake–O–Vac must comply with local road
requirements, if transported on public roads. A
Slow–moving vehicle sign has been provided. Signal lights
and brakes are not provided and may be required in some
areas.
