Operation - NPK M20S Instruction Manual

SAFETY

OPERATION

1. Operator personnel must read and understand the NPK INSTRUCTION MANUAL
to prevent serious or fatal injury.
2. FLYING OR FALLING DEBRIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
Keep personnel and bystanders clear of the MATERIAL PROCESSOR while in
operation.
3. Do not operate MATERIAL PROCESSOR without
an impact resistant
MATERIAL PROCESSOR and operator. Operate
with extreme caution near walls or columns that
may collapse and near concrete debris that may
fall.
4. Operate the MATERIAL PROCESSOR from the
operator's seat only.
5. Use two people whenever operator visibility is
limited, one
PROCESSOR, the other to guide operations.
6. Do not leave a load suspended in air.
7. Do not pass a load over people, vehicles, etc.
8. Do not operate the MATERIAL PROCESSOR
within reach of power lines.
9. Do not climb, sit, or ride on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR.
10. Match the MATERIAL PROCESSOR size to excavator according to NPK
recommendations, see page 9. The excavator must be stable during MATERIAL
PROCESSOR operation and during transport.
11. Do not operate without inspection (access) covers in place.
12. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT!
Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns!
13. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping high
pressure fluid can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately!
Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed immediately
or gangrene may result!
14. The pressure generated by the power intensifier on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR
exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar), which is higher than commonly encountered on
hydraulic equipment.
inspection checks, use gauges, hoses and fittings rated at 15,000 psi (1035 bar).
For parts replacement, use only genuine NPK replacement parts. Contact NPK
Service Department at 1-800-225-4379.
15. When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips.
