OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When the mixer is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause severe injury or death to persons coming in contact with these parts. To help avoid serious accidents, the following guidelines should always be followed.
1.BE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS are in place before operating, including any truck and driveline shields. Exposed machinery due to missing shields can grab hands and clothing and cause severe injury or death. Repair or replace any damaged or missing shielding.
2.NEVER PUT ARMS OR FEET INSIDE unit, power chute, conveyor or discharge door opening, nor climb on or in the mixer while it is running. NEVER allow anyone to position themselves over or near the top of the mixer while it is running. Rotating augers, and sprockets can grab clothing or create pinch points which can cause severe injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Before inspecting, servicing, repairing, or cleaning the mixer, disengage the PTO, stop the trucks engine and remove the truck’s ignition key so that the mixer can not be accidentally turned on.
3.NEVER HAND FEED MATERIALS into mixer while it is running. Rotating augers inside the mixer may not be visible from the loading point, and may cut or grab hands, clothing, or material being loaded, causing severe injury. Always turn off the mixer and stop the truck’s engine before hand loading materials.
4.NEVER ATTEMPT TO RELEASE JAMMED MATERIALS OR CLEAN MATERIALS from any area of the mixer or discharge chute without disengaging the PTO and stopping the truck’s engine and remove the ignition key first. Moving parts can be hidden by materials, and stopped parts can start unexpectedly, causing severe injury or death to operators or bystanders.
5.DO NOT ALLOW OPERATION of this unit by inexperienced or unqualified people. Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the mixer during operation. Operators of this unit must be alert and use good judgement at all times. The Operator should not climb on the ladder or any part of the mixer when loading, mixing or discharging material.
6.DO NOT wear loose or floppy clothing, jewelry or long hair while operating this unit. It may become entangled in moving machinery.
7.BE SURE the inside of the mixer is clear of any obstructions before operating.
8.SHOULD A PROBLEM OCCUR during operation of mixer, always disengage the PTO, stop the truck’s engine and remove the truck’s ignition key before investigating the problem. If the power source to the mixer has not been disconnected, the mixer may start unexpectedly, causing severe injury or death.
9.USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND THE DISCHARGE AREA. Stay clear of power chute, conveyor & slide tray. These are controlled from the truck’s cab and could operate without warning, creating pinch points which could cause severe injury or death. Always disengage the PTO, stop the truck’s engine and remove the truck’s ignition key before working close to the discharge area.
