Safe Operation
3 - 2
DANGER!
Turn off and remove the ignition key before adjusting,
repairing, cleaning, or servicing the conveyors. The
vertical and horizontal augers will continue to rotate
for a short period of time after the auger control
valves have been shut off. Always allow for all auger
rotation to stop before working near or on the augers.
NEVER work near or on the augers when the engine
is operating.
If any part of the conveyor system becomes plugged or
clogged, or appears plugged or clogged, the conveyor
must be ushed out with water. Do not wear gloves or
jewelry when performing these functions.
Flushing the augers out with water must be done only
after the machine has been removed from the ice,
the auger control valves have been returned to their
"neutral (off)" positions, and the ignition has been shut
off.
Under no circumstances should the operator attempt
to clean or clear the conveyor system or parts around
it while the machine is on the ice or the power is on.
To do so, exposes the operator and others to serious
potential injury or death!
WARNING!
Keep hands, feet and body out from under the snow
tank, conditioner and other raised parts unless they
are blocked securely. Use the safety stand under the
snow tank.
Be extremely careful when handling the shaving knife.
Unless handled with care, the blade can cause injury
whether it is sharp or dull.
WARNING!
If the machine is parked on any kind of grade, the
wheels must be blocked with wheel chocks to prevent
the vehicle from rolling away after it has been parked.
