PREPARATION
Never operate the power unit and minicor-3 until you have read and
completely understand this manual, the Power Unit Operator’s Manual, and
each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the prime mover
and minicor-3. Only fully trained operators or trainee operators under the
close supervision of a fully trained person should use this machine.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, sturdy
rough-soled safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly,
installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving
the implement. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be
around moving parts. Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid
entanglement in moving parts.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!
Power units with or without implements attached can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear
hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position
exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term
basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE:
Hearing loss from loud noise (from engines, chain saws, radios, and
other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without
hope of natural recovery.
Operate the minicor only with a power unit Rated for 1500 pounds.
Minicor-3 operating power is supplied from the prime mover hydraulic
system. Refer to your prime mover manual for hydraulic engagement and
disengagement instructions. Know how to stop prime mover and minicor-3
quickly in case of an emergency. When engaging hydraulic system, the
engine RPM should always be low.
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and
gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the attachment.
