expose themselves and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
• Use for intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the bin unload in any way without written permission from the manufacturer. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety. Any unauthorized modification will void the warranty.

a qualified electrician and must meet all local codes and
standards.
• A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor.
• You must have a manual reset button.
• Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the
operator has full view of the entire operation.
• Locate main power disconnect switch within reach from
ground level to permit ready access in case of an emergency.
• Motor must be properly grounded.
• Guards must be in place and secure.
• Ensure electrical wiring and cords remain in good condition;
replace if necessary.
• Use a totally enclosed electric motor if operating in
extremely dusty conditions.

2.5.2 Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the power
source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while system is
under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts and pinch
points.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious
injury if it penetrates the skin surface (serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immediately if
injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for
hydraulic leaks and wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good
condition. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or
crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
or hoses with tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs
will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve
system pressure before disconnecting or working on
hydraulic system.
2.6. Personal Protective Equipment
The following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn when assembling the equipment.
Safety Glasses
• Wear safety glasses at all times to protect eyes from debris.
Work Gloves
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp and rough edges.

Fire Extinguisher
• Provide a fire extinguisher for use in case of an accident. Store in a highly visible and
accessible place.
First-Aid Kit
• Have a properly-stocked first-aid kit available for use should the need arise, and
know how to use it.
Eyewash Kit
• Keep a portable eye wash kit available or make sure a permanent eyewash station is
available should the need arise to flush materials from the eyes. Review instructions
for use before working with the bin unload.
Salvage Container
• Keep a sealable salvage container on site, such as a spill containment pallet.
