SECTION 2.1: GENERAL
Read and understand this Machine Manual prior to operating or performing
maintenance on the BRB-2800.
This Machine Manual has been developed as a guideline for machine operation.
It is not a substitute for proper organizational training and management.
All machine operators and maintenance personnel should be properly trained in
operation and safety features of the BRB-2800.
Make these operating instructions accessible to all operating and maintenance
personnel.
Never weld, modify, cut or grind components of the BRB-2800 without prior
written consent from the manufacturer.
Never use aggressive cleaning chemicals to clean the machine.
All operators and maintenance personnel should receive training on the dangers
of carbon monoxide, or CO. All personnel should be able to identify signs and
symptoms of CO poisoning. Common signs associated with overexposure
include headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, lethargy, visual disturbances,
and changes in personality and/or loss of consciousness.
SECTION 2.2: MAINTENANCE AND WEAR PART REPLACEMENT MODES
Maintenance mode is defined as placing the machine in a configuration, which
minimizes potential electric, hydraulic or stored energy hazards.
In general, the machine should be placed in Maintenance Mode prior to
performing any maintenance and/or troubleshooting activities.
MAINTENANCE MODE:
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Reduce machine RPM to low idle.
3. Turn key switch to “OFF” position.
4. Remove key from switch to prevent accidental or unintended starting.
5. Block wheels to prevent the machine from moving.

SECTION 2.3: WORK SITE ASSESSMENT AND INSPECTION
Before starting scrapping operations, a site assessment must be performed.
During the site assessment verify the following:
Work area is flat, clean, and dry, free of debris, frost-free, and has no
flammable liquids nearby. Also, make sure that the machine will be able
to clear all obstructions. NEVER SCRAPE OVER BOLTS, NUTS,
SCREWS, NAILS, OR OTHER DEBRIS AS THIS MAY RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND SERIOUS INJURY TO
THE OPERATOR.
Work area is well ventilated. IF WORK AREA IS ENCLOSED OR
PARTIALLY ENCLOSED (WAREHOUSE, PARKING GARAGE,
TUNNELS, ETC.), this is because carbon monoxide, which is a byproduct
all internal combustion engines, can be extremely hazardous when
allowed to accumulate in an area. An odorless, tasteless, and non-
irritating gas, carbon monoxide can quickly become lethal. As a result,
liquid propane must be used in all instances when the work area is
enclosed or partially enclosed
Each worker has a carbon monoxide monitor on their persons. These
carbon monoxide monitors should be calibrated, in working order, and
should be equipped with audible alarms that will warn workers if carbon
monoxide levels become too high. IF CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS
EXCEED 35 PARTS PER MILLION, ALL WORK MUST CEASE
IMMEDIATELY! THIS REPRESENTS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY
SITUATION WHICH NECESSITATES AN IMMEDIATE SHUTDOWN!
All workers have received training on the dangers of overexposure to
carbon monoxide. Staff members must also be able to identify all of the

MACHINE MANUAL BRB-2800
SAFETY
© 2010 Blastpro Manufacturing Inc.®
8
signs and the symptoms associated with carbon monoxide poisoning.
This training should ensure that work would stop immediately and
emergency medical personnel would be notified promptly if one or more
workers exhibited or complained of any of the common signs and
symptoms associated with carbon monoxide overexposure, including:
headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, lethargy, visual disturbances,
changes in personality, and/or loss of consciousness.
All operators and other personnel within the work area have received
training on proper ventilation procedures and on proper operation
procedures for the engine and for other types of equipment.
FLOORS HAVE BEEN THOROUGLY INSPECTED. SOME FLOOR OR
DECK SURFACES MAY BE COATED WITH OR CONTAMINATED BY
DANGEROUS MATERIALS SUCH AS:
oPCBs
oLEAD
oASBESTOS
oPESTICIDES
oSOLVENTS
oCLEANING FLUIDS
oAND/OR OTHER HARMFUL CHEMICALS
DISTURBING SUCH SURFACES CAN CREATE A SERIOUS HEALTH
THREAT TO THOSE WHO INHALE OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH
THE DUST. THE WORK AREA MUST BE CHECKED FOR THESE
MATERIALS BEFORE WORK CAN BEGIN. BLASTPRO
MANUFACTURING, INC. DOES NOT WARRANT ITS EQUIPMENT TO
