grinder.Themachineshouldbecheckedforloose
tools or foreign objects, especially in the grinding
area. All tools not in use should be secured in a tool
box.
Operators must at all times be located within easy

MODEL 2250R SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as cutter
teethbolts,etc.fortorqueandt.
Most of the nuts used on the Bandit Grinder are
self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed
vetimes, itshould bereplaced to ensureproper
tightness.  This is especially critical on the cutter
tooth bolts!
After the engine is started, let the grinder wheel
turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any
type of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise
isforeign.Ifyouhearanoise,stoptheengine,nd
theproblemandxit.
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machineandrecheckallhydraulicttings.Retighten
as needed.
 DONOTGONEARHYDRAULICLEAKS!High
pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious
injury,gangrene,ordeath.Avoidburnsfromuid.
Hotuidunderpressurecancausesevereburns.
DONOTusengersorskintocheckforleaks.Lower
load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening
ttings.Relieveallpressureinthesystembefore
disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other
work.Useapieceofcardboardtondleaks.Never
use your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to
ambient temperature before opening any coolant or
hydraulic oil system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic
system idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow
the system to warm up to operating temperature.
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
Before attempting any type of maintenance
disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the cutter
wheel to come to a complete stop, install the cutter
wheel lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure
the ignition key is in your possession.
ALWAYS install the lock pin into the cutter lock
tube before working on the grinder.
Simply slide the lock pin into the cutter wheel lock
tube.Thisistoensurethatthecutterwheelcannot
be started while you are working on the grinder. If
for some reason the cutter wheel would start to turn,
it would simply hit the lock pin.
 DONOToperatethismachineindoors!Exhaust
fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine
is running. Never refuel in the shop or building.
Always refuel in a well ventilated area, away from
sparksoropenames,DONOTSMOKE.Extinguish
all smoking materials. Wipe up all spilled fuel before
restartingtheengine.Donotllabove1/2”(12.7mm)
from top of tank.
 To obtain the most from your machine, for the
least amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up
and follow a scheduled preventative maintenance
program. It will eliminate many possible problems
and down time.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures.  Tow the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
If the machine is going to be operated in excessively
cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery
may be needed to ensure proper and prompt
starting.Neverusejumpercablesinaconnedor
unventilated area. Battery acid fumes are explosive.
Battery acid can cause severe burns. Never expose
anopenameorsparknearthebattery.Keepall
burning materials away from the battery. When
servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and do
not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.
Keep the machine in good condition. Be sure
the machine is in good operating condition and that
all safety devices, including guards and shields are
installed and functioning properly. Visually inspect
the machine daily before starting the machine. Refer
to the “Daily Start Up & Maintenance”. Make no
modicationstoyourequipmentunlessspecically
recommended or requested by Bandit Industries Inc.
