MAINTENANCE SAFETY
PROCEDURES
Before attempting any maintenance procedure, read
the entire Safety Manual carefully. If any question
arises regarding a safety or maintenance procedure,
contact your LaBounty dealer. For the nearest
LaBounty dealer, see the Contact Information at the
front of this manual.
• Inspect the attachment daily. DO NOT operate a
poorly maintained or damaged attachment or major
structural damage could result.
• ALWAYS lower the boom to the ground before
leaving the cab. If it is necessary to work on an
attachment off the ground, securely support the
base machine and attachment. DO NOT support the
machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles, or props that
may crumble under continuous load. DO NOT rely
on the cylinder to hold the attachment in the air. If a
control is moved or hydraulic pressure is otherwise
released, the attachment will drop. DO NOT work
under a machine that is supported solely by a jack.
• DO NOT attempt to alter or change the physical,
mechanical or hydraulic operation of the attachment
during the warranty period without fi rst consulting
Stanley LaBounty as this could invalidate the
Manufacturer's Warranty.
• NEVER operate the machine if an unsafe condition
exists. Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag to the
machine.
• If more than one person is working on a machine,
each must be familiar with the controls and aware
of what the others are doing. Before working on a
machine, BE SURE TO TAG THE CONTROLS SO
NO ONE ELSE WILL START IT.
• ALWAYS use two people when making checks
with the engine running – the operator at the
controls must be able to see the person doing the
checking.
• Keep hands away from moving parts. NEVER
lubricate or work on a machine while it is moving.
• ALWAYS wear proper safety equipment when
maintaining the attachment including safety glasses
with side shields, hard hat, steel toe shoes, gloves,
and hearing protection.
• Be sure you understand a service procedure
before working on the machine. DO NOT ATTEMPT
REPAIRS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. ASK FOR
HELP BEFORE STARTING IF YOU ARE UNSURE.

Maintenance

During maintenance of the shear, it is imperative
that the excavator is turned OFF to prevent injury.
Inferior parts can fail and cause equipment
damage or personal injury.
GENERAL RULES FOR

MAINTENANCE

1. Read the maintenance manual. Be sure all
maintenance personnel read and understand all
maintenance procedures before they are attempted.
2. Use factory approved parts. Use of parts that
are not factory approved may cause damage
or unnecessary downtime and may void the
attachment warranty.
3. Lubricate daily; follow the lubrications schedule as
outlined on page 5-5.
4. Use the included Inspection Checklist during
inspections to make sure all maintenance is
complete.
5. In extremely cold temperatures, work the
attachment on lighter materials fi rst before working
up to heavier materials. This allows the attachment
and jaws to warm up and makes them less
susceptible to damage.
6. DO NOT weld on the excavator boom or stick
without fi rst consulting your dealer.
7. DO NOT exceed bolt torque specifi cations (see
the Dry Bolt Torque Chart in this manual).
8. DO NOT disconnect hydraulic hoses or fi ttings
without fi rst relieving machine hydraulic pressure.
9. DO NOT exert the weight of the excavator on the
shear in order to free the upper shear if it becomes
jammed. Please consult the factory. Jamming
is the result of poor maintenance or improper
operational techniques.
10. DO NOT let hot hydraulic fl uid get in contact
with the skin as it could cause severe burns.
11. DO NOT use substitute parts unless you know
that they are the identical to original factory parts in
all characteristics.
12. Refer to the Parts Catalog for your attachment
for LaBounty replacement part numbers. Be sure to
reference the attachment model and serial number
when ordering.
