2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Always place the machine in a
Safe Condition
before
performing any service work, maintenance procedures, or
storage preparation.
SAFE CONDITION
•
Shut off engine.
•
Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
•
Disconnect battery ground (-) cable.
•
Block or chock wheels.
•
When two or more workers are present, only one worker
should be designated as the machine operator and loader.
A potentially dangerous condition arises when the worker
loading the machine does not control the hydraulic ram.
A worker's hand may be pinched or crushed if the ram has
been activated during loading.
•
Never use equipment with safety shields removed. Keep all
shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for
repairs, reinstall the shield prior to use.
•
Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not
readable or is missing. Location of safety signs is indicated
in this manual.
•
Do not allow anyone other than a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person to operate this machine.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons
unfamiliar with its operation.
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may result in serious injury or death and may
impair the function and life of the equipment.
•
Never exceed the limits of the machine. If its ability to do
the job or to do it safely is in question—
STOP IMMEDIATELY!
2.6 Safety Training
•
The best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator—we ask
you be that kind of operator. It is
the operator's responsibility to read,
understand and follow ALL safety
and operation instructions in the
manual.
•
Train all new personnel and review instruc tions frequently
with existing workers. Only properly trained and physically
able operators should use this equipment.
A person who
has not read and understood all operation and safety
instructions is not qualified to use the machine.
Untrained
operators expose themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death. If elderly people are assisting with
the work, their physical limitations need to be recognized
and accommodated.
•
Learn the controls and how to stop the machine quickly in
an emergency.
•
If this machine is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that every operator:
-
Reads and understands the owner's manual
-
Is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
-
Understands and knows how to perform the Safe
Condition procedure
2.7 Transport Safety
•
Comply with local laws governing safety and transporting
of machinery on public roads.
•
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing this
machine. Slow down for rough terrain and cornering.
•
Do not transport or move the wood splitter with the engine
running.
•
Be sure the trailer is hitched correctly to the towing vehicle
and a retainer is used through the hitch mechanism.
•
Always attach safety chains between the hitch and the
towing vehicle. Cross the chains underneath the trailer
tongue.
•
Check wheel lugs and tighten if required. Inspect rims for
damage.
•
Inspect tires for cuts or damage. Check tire pressure and
adjust if required.
•
Ensure the stability jacks are raised and secured with the
latch pin.
•
Make sure tow vehicle is fitted with the correct size (2 in)
towing ball.
•
Make sure fuel and hydraulic tank caps are on tight to
prevent spills while transporting.
•
Clean all debris off the splitter. Remove any tools or other
loose items.
•
Check that all the lights, reflectors and other lighting
requirements are installed and in good working condition.
•
Never allow riders on the machine.
•
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming
traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges,
intersections, and so on.
•
Watch for other traffic when near or crossing roadways.
•
Do not drink and drive.
•
Before transporting, perform a walk-around inspection to
ensure everything is safe.
