APPLICATOR PREPARATION & MAINTENANCE
1. Shut-off the engine. Park the applicator in manner that it is immobilized.
2. Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them.
3. Use lockout/tagout procedure 29CFR 1910.147 during any inspection or
maintenance.
4. Periodically remove debris and dust from the applicator. Remove fibrous material
build-up between hoses, pumps, lines, and other confined areas. Use a blower to
remove the dust and fibrous material off the entire unit at least twice per day. This is
essential to continued successful operation and fire prevention.
5. Open all compartments and remove all flammable debris such as fiber mulch,
leaves, twigs, pine needles, wood chips, dust and any leaking or spilt oil or fuel.
6. Upon discovery of oil or fuel leaks, repair and clean up immediately. Oil attracts dust
and creates a fire hazard by insulating lines causing excess heat generation. Inspect
and clean all dust from fittings and lines.
7. Clean the radiator as required to avoid overheating.
8. Use water only if it can dry thoroughly before operating. Dust clings to anything wet
and a wet radiator can quickly become a problem.
9. Contain and dispose of any petro-chemical runoff through a licensed processing
facility. Do not dispose of petro-chemical runoff into municipal waste.
10. Do not use high pressure washer directly on electrical contacts.
11. Be careful using high-pressure washers, which may bend and split the radiator fins.
12. Refer to the Safety Section of this manual for more information.
