The following safety guidelines are for the safe operation of the Crisafulli Rotomite.
Remember, no number of safety guidelines nor any amount of safety equipment can
make operation of any piece of equipment totally safe unless the operator follows the
guidelines and uses the equipment prudently. An alert, safety-conscious operator is
the key to the safe operation of any piece of equipment.
ACCEPTANCE
Prior to acceptance of Crisafulli pumping equipment, check for the following damage:
1. Loose fasteners
2. Broken/bent parts
3. Oil leaks

SAFE SERVICING OF THE DREDGE
1. Keep the dredge clean. This will reveal any damage caused by vibration, wear, etc.
and allow proper maintenance.
2. Follow all safety procedures for power shut off at your site. Dredge power must be
shut off during servicing operations unless work requires otherwise.
3. Correct mechanical problems as they are detected thereby eliminating further
damage caused by these problems.
4. Block or crib the pump and components of the system which are suspended by
hoists, jacks, slings, and hydraulic cylinders prior to working beneath them.


If the Rotomite is involved in an accident, foreign object collides with it, it
falls while unloading, etc., make sure to do a thorough exam of the
pontoons and any parts involved. The pontoons are filled with a foam
making them resistant to completely filling with water. However the water
can and will erode the foam and rust the steel from within. All it takes to
do serious damage to the pontoons is a small hole in the steel. Ensure
the pontoons are intact after a collision.

PLACING THE ROTOMITE INTO THE WATER
1. The best and most often used method for placing the Rotomite into the
pond is to attach 4 equal length slings to the lifting eyes that are welded
to each corner of the platform. A crane should be used to place the
Rotomite into a minimum of 36" of water.
The Rotomite weighs approximately 35,500 pounds (dry.)
ATTACH DISCHARGE LINE & CABLE
6HHGUDZLQJ&3&IROORZLQJ
1. The simplest method for assembly of floating discharge line is to set it up
on land in a zigzag pattern on the shore. As the dredge pulls away from
shore the discharge line will extend out.
2. In cases where the discharge piping utilizes flex sections and rigid
sections, flex sections should be placed in between each rigid section.
The unit must have a flex section attached directly to the pumps
discharge and directly to the shore harvest station. The flex sections
should be attached to the rigid sections with the clamps. When
assembling the sections ensure that each “female” fitting has a rubber
seal in it.
3. Once the clamps are on encircle the clamps at least three times with duct
tape. This protects the clamps from getting snagged and coming undone
accidently.
4. Attach the power cable to the dredge first, then lay the cable on top of the
floating discharge line that is onshore in a zigzag pattern. Using at least
three bungee cords or zip ties per rigid section of floatline attach the
power cable to the floatline. The power cable does not get attached to
the flex sections. Ensure that there is enough slack in the power cable to
account for movement of the floating line.
