Safety Instructions-Cont.
• Do not allow hands, or any part of body or clothing, near the hose inlet
chamber, discharge, or any moving part.
• Exclude pieces of rock and wire when vacuuming material into the machine.
• Shut off engine immediately if the machine starts making an unusual noise or
vibrating. Allow the machine to stop completely. After machine stops:
1. Inspect for damage.
2. Replace or repair any damaged parts.
3. Check for and tighten any loose parts.
• Stand clear of the discharge area when operating this machine.
• Keep your face and body back from the hose inlet.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper balance and footing at all times.
• Keep the engine clear of debris and other accumulations.
• Do not tamper with the engine governor settings on the machine; the
governor controls the maximum safe operating speed and protects the
engine and all moving parts from damage caused by over speed.
• Setting up your loading site so you are not endangered by traffic and the
public is not endangered by your work is critical for safety. Take great care
to provide adequate warning by way of signage and coning, if diverting
vehicles or pedestrian traffic is necessary.
• A well-prepared traffic plan includes parking off the highway whenever
possible. Cone the work area as soon as the truck loader vehicle
stops. Avoid sudden traffic stoppage or lane diversion. Do not allow
pedestrians to walk through the work area. Ensure debris or dust do not
blow into traffic, parked cars, or pedestrians.
• Shut off engine and allow machine to stop completely before clearing debris
if the machine becomes clogged.
• Disconnect cables from battery before doing any inspection or service.
