Daily Checks
At the start of each day, complete these safety
checks before operating the machine. Report any
safety problems to your supervisor. See the Safety
Instructions in this manual for details.
Checking the Tires and Wheels
•
The recommended tire pressure for the tow
chassis is 69 kPa (10 psi), or as recommended
by the tire manufacturer. Refer to the tow
vehicle operator's manual for the tow vehicle tire
specifications.
•
Check for excessive wear or visible damage.
•
Check that the wheel bolts are tight and none are
missing.
Checking the Rear Gate
Check that the adjustable section of the rear gate
opens and closes without sticking.
Stowing and Checking the Jack
Stands
•
Safely stow the jack stand(s) in the up position
before traveling. On Truckster direct connect
chassis stow the jack stands on the rear of the
machine.
•
Check that the hitch pin and jack stand are not
damaged, and the safety pin is in place. (Replace
safety pins if missing or damaged).
•
Check that the hitch connections are not loose.
Hydraulic System Safety
•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and
lines are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin. Injected fluid must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure
hydraulic fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
g013354
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
Checking the Hydraulic System
•
Check the hydraulic system for fluid leaks. If you
find a leak, tighten the fitting, or replace or repair
the damaged part.
•
Check the hydraulic hoses for wear or visible
damage.
•
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Fill up if necessary.
Checking the Belt and Rear Gate
Seals
•
Check all rubber seals for wear or damage.
Replace or repair the seals if any leakage occurs.
•
Check and adjust the conveyor belt cleaning
scraper. Ensure that the scraper is in full contact
with the belt across its length.
Checking Other Components
•
Check the blades on the Twin Spinner discs for
wear. Replace when they wear thin.
•
Check the Twin Spinner housing for signs of
cracking or corrosion. Replace wear plates as
required
•
Check that the safety decals are undamaged and
legible, otherwise, replace them.
Hydraulic System
The machine is shipped from the factory filled
with high-quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level of
hydraulic fluid before the machine is first started and
daily thereafter. The recommended replacement fluid
is as follows:
