The safety of the operator and those people that may come into contact with the equipment is of great importance to Wm. W. Meyer & Sons, Inc. (“Meyer” “factory”). The decals, shields, guards, and other protective features designed, furnished, or recommended for this machine are there for your protection. - Page 3 Meyer is familiar.

- Page 4 Doors of the truck or trailer must be open during operation to allow for the movement of outside air through and to provide ventilation for the operator and the air-cooled engine. Guard and avoid dangerous parts. There are moving parts of this equipment that will crush and cut any body part that they contact, resulting in serious injury or death.
- Page 5 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Principle of operation The insulation blowing machines that Meyer & Sons manufacturers and sells are machines that have rotating shafts with paddles, pins and vanes designed to break up and move compressed material (cellulose and fiberglass) from an open hopper into a pneumatic conveying line. Once in that line or hose, the material is propelled through the hose and exits into an open space (building attic) or an enclosed space (sidewall).

If they have, contact Meyer for replacements prior to installation. • Concealed Damage: If Equipment or goods are discovered to be damaged in shipment at a later date, contact the carrier and Meyer immediately. - Page 10 The engine and exhaust piping could be extremely hot and could cause burns or ignite a fire. Due to the variability of installations, Meyer cannot provide a guard for the engine exhaust piping.
