Always use ear protection!
When your machine is running, noise generated by the machine may come from the following:



Wire brush unit

Speed reducer

Hydraulic motor/pump


Our products pass noise testing less than 78 dBA. Noise level vary according to working conditions and
we recommend ear plugs or other hearing protection at all time. If your machine produces an
undesirable noise while it is running, you should:
1. Make sure all maintenance tasks have been performed following the prescribed maintenance
schedule (Refer to Section 6).
2. If maintenance does not seem to solve the problem, follow the troubleshooting procedures under
Section 7.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment generally takes account of intended use and foreseeable misuse, including process
control and maintenance requirements. We made every effort to avoid any personal injury or equipment
damage during the machine design stage. However, the operator (or other people) still needs to take
precautions when handling any part of the machine that is unfamiliar and anywhere on the machine
that has potential hazards (e.g. the electrical control box).
