MODEL 3680 SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Do not work on the machine if the engine is running
with the clutch disengaged. A clutch can self-engage if
either the pilot or throw-out bearing happens to seize to
the main output shaft.
Remember, it should take most of your strength to
engage the clutch. If the clutch engages easily, DO
NOT OPERATE this recycler until the clutch has been
adjusted.
The clutch is an expensive component part of the Beast
Recycler. It needs proper maintenance (see maintenance
section and manufacturers manual for detailed
information). The operator must take care in the
engagement and disengagement of the engine, RPM
should always be 800 to 900 RPM.
Check for fires, clean off debris, switch off battery.
Do not leave this machine unattended until all potential
fire debris is removed, no fire or smoldering exists and
battery is switched off. The diesel engine creates many
hot spots, including exhaust manifold and turbo.
Remove all flammable debris (wood, mulch, oils, fuels,
etc.) from: engine turbo and exhaust, beside and around
engine, under engine and tanks, inside belt shield,
inside control cabinets, anywhere materials collect. Do
not leave this machine unattended until all fire hazards
are removed, hot spots are cold and battery is
disconnected. Always keep several type A:B:C fire
extinguishers on the job at all times. Smoracy, LLC is
not responsible for fires caused by fire hazards left to
smolder and burn, or improper shutdown procedures.
Before transporting the machine: 1) Clean out any
existing material on the machine by allowing the
machine to operate for several minutes without further
loading. 2) Idle engine and disengage clutch. 3) Make
sure that the feedwheel is in the lowered position.
4) Make sure all manual hydraulic control valves are
in the off position. 5) Switch engine off and remove
ignition key. 6) Lock radiator debris screen in
transport position. 7) Stow remote cable controls
inside hydraulic compartment. 8) Lock compartment
doors. 9) Clean off all Debris and potential fire hazards
from the machine. Along with these procedures make
sure to follow all of the “transportation procedures “ in
that section.
The self activating fire extinguishers located in
various places will not stop your machine from burning.
They are there to help put out a fire that may start. If a
fire gets going after you have left the machine, they will
be ineffective. You must clean the debris away from the
engine and other hot areas before leaving the machine!
It is your responsibility to properly maintain and test the
extinguishers as instructed by the directions that come
with the fire extinguisher. If you do not have that
information contact Smoracy, LLC.
FIRE WARNING!

inflate tires above recommended pressure. Check tires
on a daily basis for low pressure. Inflate to recommended
pressure. Replace any wheel with tire cuts, bubbles or
damaged rims.

If the machine is equipped with a screen hoist, do not
operate the hoist while the machine is running. Make
sure the screen hoist and all the components are in
good working order before operating. Use extreme care
and safety when operating the screen hoist. Screen
hoist operation is a one person job. This means the
person who hooks the hoist to the screen is the same
person who operates the hoist. Make sure the screen
is securely attached to the screen hoist before lifting.
Do not exceed the lifting capabilities of the screen hoist.
This device is designed and authorized to lift screens
only! Before resuming machine operation or transporting
the machine, make sure the screen hoist and all
components are properly stored on the machine and
the screen hoist disconnect switch is in the off position.
Do not leave the machine unattended, unless the screen
hoist disconnect switch is in the off position. Use only
the manufacturer’s recommended fluid for the hoist pump.
