9.13 Chamber door lock
The chamber door lock should be used at all times that the operator may wish to enter
the chamber in order to change the cutter knives for example. The lock (A) is located
on the front right hand side of the platform, at the front of the machine. See below for
the safety decal and location of the chamber door lock valve. The lock works by way of
a hydraulic on/off valve, while locked the valve is in the ‘off’ (vertical) position and the
hydraulic rams will remain locked open, securing the door in a fixed position.
