SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

14TMV RS-V5000
ŸmachineDo not operate, or perform maintenance to, the while wearing
loose fitting clothing. Entanglement of loose clothing with the rotating
elements can result in serious injury or death. Stay clear of all rotating
elements at all times.
ŸPROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection
if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db,
over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss.
ŸUse both hands for support when getting on and off the truck.
ŸMake sure you have solid footing before stepping down. Be careful of
your step and use extra caution when mud, ice, snow, or other matter has
accumulated on the steps or handrails. Never rush to exit or jump off the
machine.
ŸDo not attempt to mount the machine while it is moving.
ŸNever attempt to mount a runaway machine. Serious injury or death may
occur from being run over by a moving machine.
ŸBEFORE leaving the truck’s seat, always engage the parking brake and/or
set the truck’s transmission in parking gear, stop the engine, remove the
key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
ŸNever dismount a truck that is moving or while the truck and auxiliary
engines are running.
ŸAlways wear a seat belt while driving the machine during transport.
Serious injury or even death could result from falling out of the truck or
from being involved in a collision.
Operational Safety Instructions
ŸExtract material only in conditions where you have clear
visibility of the area being worked on, in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness of
foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 50 feet in front and
to the sides of the machine. Make sure that you can clearly see and
identify passers by, slopes, ditches, overhead obstructions, power lines,
and other ground equipments. If you are unable to see these types of
items, discontinue operating until visibility improves.
ŸTransport the machine only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries
can result from driving this machine at unsafe speeds. Become familiar
with the driving characteristics of the truck and how it handles before
operating or transporting on highways (for transporting only).
ŸMake sure the truck’s steering, brakes, and wheels are in good condition
and operate properly.
Test the machine at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the
brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteriscs of the truck
equipped with the vacuum module. When driving down a hill or on wet or
rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce
your speed. Do not operate the machine with weak, faulty brakes or worn out
res.
ŸObey all traffic laws and regulaons. Never exceed the posted speed limit.
ŸThe machine has a high center of gravity that may be further increased
when carrying a loaded hopper. Use extreme cauon when transporng
at highway speeds. Slow down for sharp corners to avoid pping or
turning the machine over.
Before transporng the machine determine the safe transport speeds for
youself and the machine. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

15TMV RS-V5000
ŸWhen operang in the work site, use the machine’s direconal indicator
or signal lights to indicate your movement. Always use the machine’s
flashing signal lights and other equipped warning features to alert ground
staff of your presence.
ŸDo not exceed the rated operating speed for the truck and auxiliary
engines. Excessive operating speeds can cause engine and vacuum
component damage.
ŸKEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS including the belt and pulleys to
prevent entanglement and possible serious injury or death.
ŸDo not operate the machine if excessive vibration or noise exists. Shut
down the vacuum components, truck and auxiliary engines. Inspect the
machine to determine the source of the vibration or noise. If components
are loose, damaged, or missing, replace them immediately. Do not
operate the machine until all necessary repairs have been performed and
the machine operates smoothly.
ŸTo reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even
death, never operate the machine with missing or damaged components.
ŸNever attempt to extract debris that is too large for the machine to pick
up. Such objects may plug the suction components and cause serious
mechanical damage to the machine.
ŸObjects such as wire, cable, rope, and chain can get entangled in the
rotating parts of the suction components causing mechanical damage.
ŸUse extreme caution when dumping the contents. Be aware of
bystanders and objects in the area. Select a dump site on level ground
and clear of overhead obstructions, that could be hit when raising the
hopper.
ŸWhen positioning the truck at the dump station, choose an accessible
location only on level ground. Raising the hopper on uneven ground
increases the possibility of tipping.
ŸMake sure the area is clear of ground and overhead obstructions.
ŸNever raise the hopper unless you can clearly see all overhead structures.
Make sure you stay clear of all utility lines.
ŸDo not dump the hopper over a pit area where the ground
may cave in or is unstable.
ŸWear eye and respiratory protection while dumping.
ŸUse care when positioning the machine to the dumping site. Your vision,
especially to the side and rear of the machine may be reduced by the size.
Use side and rear view mirrors to aid vision.
ŸIf you cannot see the dump site clearly, stop the truck and examine the
area. If necessary, request assistance to guide you while backing the truck
into position.
ŸIf the hopper will be in the raised position for more time than is normally
required to dump, or if someone is going to get under the hopper for
repair, maintenance, cleaning or any other reason, secure the safety prop
into position.
ŸNever drive the truck with the hopper in the raised position. Traveling
with the hopper in the raised position increases the chances of colliding
with overhead obstructions. In addition, the center of gravity of the
machine is higher with a raised hopper, making the unit more prone to
tipping over.
Do not allow the machine to come in contact with potenally dangerous
and/or hazardous material. Such hazards may include, but are not
exclusively limited to, the following:
Ÿ Fire Hazards - Fuel spills, burning material,
ŸChemical Hazards - Chemical spills, discarded chemical containers,
batteries,
ŸBiological Hazards - Decaying carcasses, Biomedical waste,
ŸRadioactive Hazards - Radioactive waste, Radioactive material,
ŸCutting Hazards - Broken glass, Lumber with protruding nails,
ŸCorrosive Materials - Batteries, Acids and Bases.
ŸAlways wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when coming
in contact with and removing potentially dangerous and hazardous
material that has been collected by the machine or which is obstructing
one or more suction components.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

16TMV RS-V5000
ŸUse extreme caution when operating the machine, to alert
ground staff of the machine’s presence, the machine is
equipped with warning signals, flashing lights. Optional
electrical lights, flashers and a warning bar light, strobe, or beacon may
be positioned on top of the cab.
ŸBefore starting the vacuuming operation, make sure all the warning
signal lights are connected, visible and working. Routinely inspect the
machine’s headlights, brake lights, backup lights, and turn signal lights for
operational condition. Repair non-functioning lighting immediately.
Ÿ Always turn on all safety lights and flashers when you operate the
machine. It is recommended that you preset the beacon/strobe light
switches to ON, so that the lights go on whenever the auxiliary engine is
ON and lights go OFF whenever the auxiliary engine is turned OFF. This
presetting action has the additional benefit of alerting the operator if the
auxiliary engine is inadvertently left ON.
ŸNever vacuum hot or burning debris. A burning object, even as small as a
lit cigarette, has the potential of igniting the collected waste inside the
hopper, possibly destroying the machine and inflicting serious injury or
death to the operator or passers by.
ŸVerbal communication near the machine is difficult and dangerous.
Operating instructions and operating directions should be made prior to
starting the machine. Unclear and misunderstood communication may
lead to operator and bystander’s injury or death and equipment damage.
Ÿ Never allow anyone to approach the machine while in operation.
ŸNever allow children to play on, under, or around the machine nor allow
children to operate its controls. Children can slip or fall off the machine
and be injured or killed.
ŸAllow passengers only in situations where their presence is involved in
the vacuuming operation (operator training, supervision, maintenance
inspection). Never carry passengers whose presence distracts from the
safe operation or transport of the machine. Passengers must be seated
securely and belted in the cab’s passenger seat. Never allow any person
to ride on any other location of the machine during operation or
transport.
ŸMake sure that no bystander, animal or obstruction such as a vehicle,
building, or street sign are behind the machine when backing up. The
design of the machine impairs operator rear vision when backing. Use
extreme caution to ensure that the machine is not backed into the path of
pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Serious injury or death and property
damage could result from running into, being crushed by, or run over by
the machine.
ŸAvoid body contact with collected debris in the hopper. Use protective
clothing including gloves and eye protection when servicing or working in
or around hopper. Collected debris in the hopper can cut or puncture
resulting in serious bodily injuries and the transmittal of diseases.
Important Safety Note:
Always follow the jobsite rules while driving or vacuuming at all
mes.
