Storage Safety

•
Shut off the machine, remove the key (if equipped),
and wait for all movement to stop before you leave
the operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
Preparing the Machine for
Storage
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially inside
the hopper. The hopper and conveyor belt area
should be free of sand particles.
2. Tighten all fasteners.
3. Lubricate all grease fittings and bearings. Wipe
off any excess lubricant.
4. Store the machine out of the sun to prolong the
life of the conveyor belt. When you store the
machine outside, cover the hopper with a tarp.
5. Check the tension of the drive chain. Adjust the
tension, if necessary.
6. Check the tension of the conveyor belt. Adjust
the tension, if necessary.
7. When bringing the machine out of storage,
check for smooth operation of belt before adding
material into the hopper.
