Following Operation; Highway And Transport Operations - SAC TURBO-MAX 6100 Series Operator's & Parts Manual

• Be sure the inside of the mixer is clear of any obstruction before operating.
• Use caution when working around the discharge area. Stay clear of power chute & slide tray. These are
controlled from the cab and could operate without warning, creating pinch points which could cause severe
injury or death. Always stop tractor engine and remove PTO driveline & hydraulic hoses before working
near the discharge area.
• Never attempt to release jammed materials or clean materials from any area of the mixer or discharge
chute without stopping engine and removing driveline first. Moving parts can be hidden by materials, and
stopped parts can start unexpectedly, causing severe injury. Always stop tractor engine and remove the PTO
driveline so that the mixer cannot be accidentaly turned on before attempting to remove jammed material or to clean.
• Never put arms or feet inside unit, power chute, or near discharge door opening, nor 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 stop tractor engine and remove the PTO driveline so
that the mixer cannot be accidentally turned on while inspecting, servicing, repairing, or cleaning.
