q) Regularly inspect all chains (at least weekly), sprockets and moving
parts for wear and check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
r) The ladder on the rear of the mixer wagon is to be used as a viewing
point for the mixing chamber. It should not be used as a means of
access to the mixing chamber nor onto the body of the machine. It is
strictly forbidden to climb on the upper brim of the machine body. The
height of the machine presents a potential fall hazard during entry and
exit.
s) The noise emission level of the MechFiber340 has been recorded
at 89.4dB. Noise emission levels above 90dB would require the wearing
of suitable ear protection.
t) The Breakaway Safety Brake device should be attached to the tractor
at all times. Cable ties x the wire rope along the handbrake handle in
place. Cable tie the wire rope to the drawbar (see gure 4). Fix the other
end of the wire rope to a solid location on the back of the tractor
e.g.: using the top link pin. In the event that the Breakaway Safety
Brake device has been activated or damaged, it is recommended that
KEENAN Service are contacted for directions to reset.
u) Routine cleaning may be carried out using a power washer. Isolate any
power sources before beginning. If washing the inside the Mixing
Chamber, open the drain bung underneath the body to allow
water escape. Always disconnect PTO shaft from the tractor & stand on
suitably safe ladder or platform. Do not to climb on top of machine or
into the Mixing Chamber.
v) It is recommended that only KEENAN trained and qualied
maintenance personnel enter the mixing chamber.
In the case of an untrained person entering the mixing chamber, at the very
minimum, the following precautionary safety guidelines should be strictly
adhered at all times.
1. Ensure the PTO and hydraulic hoses are disconnected
2. Apply the mixer wagon handbrake and disconnect the tractor from the
machine on level ground
3. Use suitable PPE such as protective footwear, eye wear & gloves
4. Personnel should make themselves familiar with the location of all
potential hazards before entering the machine, in particular the location
of the top knife and body blades.
5. Be aware that sharp components may be hidden in or under material
within the mixing chamber
6. The top knife should always be tted with the supplied guard (Figure
3b) before entering the machine. Begin by tting the rst 500mm of
guard from the rear of the machine. Then as you enter continue to t
the guard along the full length of the Top Knife
Note: the machine is supplied with a top knife guard which can be
found inside the driveline covers of the mixer wagon
7. Use a suitable & secure ladder for access to and from the mixer wagon.
Note: The ladder at the rear of the machine is provided as a means of
viewing the ration only and should not be used as a means of access
the mixing chamber.
8. Always maintain 3 points of contact while entering, exiting & moving
within the mixing chamber of the machine
9. When entering the base of the body, it is recommended to cover the
body blades in the vicinity of where work is to be carried out.
10. When removing trapped objects, be aware that some machine
components may move unexpectedly when cleared.
11. Take extreme care when moving around inside the body as surfaces
may be slippy.
