In general, the machine should be placed in Wear Parts Replacement Mode prior
to changing the blade(s).
WEAR PARTS REPLACEMENT MODE:
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Raise the blade holder so the blade is off of the ground.
3. Reduce machine RPM to low idle.
4. Turn key switch to “OFF” position.
5. Remove key from switch to prevent accidental or unintended starting.
6. Loosen appropriate bolts and replace blade(s).
After performing any maintenance or repair work verify that all safety labels,
guards, lids and bolted connections are properly and securely installed on the
machine.
SECTION 2.3: WORK SITE ASSESSMENT AND INSPECTION
Before starting scrapping operations, a site assessment must be performed.
During the site assessment verify the following:
Work area is flat, clean, and dry, free of debris, frost-free, and has no
flammable liquids nearby. Also, make sure that the machine will be able
to clear all obstructions. NEVER SCRAPE OVER BOLTS, NUTS,
SCREWS, NAILS, OR OTHER DEBRIS AS THIS MAY RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND SERIOUS INJURY TO
THE OPERATOR.
Work area is well ventilated. IF WORK AREA IS ENCLOSED OR
PARTIALLY ENCLOSED (WAREHOUSE, PARKING GARAGE,
TUNNELS, ETC.), this is because carbon monoxide, which is a byproduct
all internal combustion engines, can be extremely hazardous when
allowed to accumulate in an area. An odorless, tasteless, and non-
irritating gas, carbon monoxide can quickly become lethal. As a result,
liquid propane must be used in all instances when the work area is
enclosed or partially enclosed
Each worker has a carbon monoxide monitor on their persons. These
carbon monoxide monitors should be calibrated, in working order, and
should be equipped with audible alarms that will warn workers if carbon
monoxide levels become too high. IF CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS
EXCEED 35 PARTS PER MILLION, ALL WORK MUST CEASE
IMMEDIATELY! THIS REPRESENTS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY
SITUATION WHICH NECESSITATES AN IMMEDIATE SHUTDOWN!
All workers have received training on the dangers of overexposure to
carbon monoxide. Staff members must also be able to identify all of the
