Following Operation; Highway And Transport Operations - SAC TURBO-MAX 6141 Operator's & Parts Manual

SAFETY
• Be sure the inside of the mixer is clear of any obstruction before operating and that all shields are in place.
This includes any truck and driveline shields. Repair or replace any damaged or missing shields. Exposed
shafts can grab hands and clothing and cause severe injury or death.
• Use caution when working around the discharge area. Stay clear of slide tray. This is controlled from the cab
and could operate without warning, creating pinch points which could cause severe injury or death. Always
stop the truck's engine and remove the trucks ignition key before working close to or near the discharge area.
• Never attempt to release jammed materials or clean materials from any area of the mixer or discharge
chute without stopping the engine fi rst. Moving parts can be hidden by materials, and stopped parts
can start unexpectedly, causing severe injury. Always disengage the PTO driveline so that the mixer cannot
be accidentally turned on before attempting to remove jammed material or to clean.
• Never put arms or feet inside unit or near discharge door opening or climb on or in the mixer while it is running.
NEVER allow anyone to position themselves over or near the top of the mixer while it is
running. Rotating augers and sprockets can grab clothing or create pinch points which can cause severe
injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Always disengage the PTO driveline, stop the truck engine,
and remove the ignition key so that the mixer cannot be accidentally turned on while inspecting, servicing,
repairing, or cleaning.
