Compression Roll Vertical Movement
The compression roll contains materials that fly off the
rotor during grinding. Materials are most effectively
contained when the compression roll housing is in a low
position.
In operation, the compression roll housing pivots up and
down automatically as well as by manual control. The
compression roll can suddenly raise or lower which
could crush or severely injure anyone in that area.
•
Stay clear of the compression roll housing when the
machine is running or the rotor is turning. The anvil
housing can fly up quickly if a non-grindable object
enters the grinding chamber.
•
Keep hands clear of the moving parts on the com-
pression roll housing.
The operator should not raise the compression roll hous-
ing when the rotor is running except to help clear block-
ages, and then only to the minimum extent necessary.
Grate Access Interlock Switch
The machines are equipped with a safety interlock
switch on the side access door to the grates. This switch
prevents the engine from engaging if the door is left
open. Ensure the access door to the grates is securely
closed before starting the machine.
Track Enable Alarm
When the drive tracks are ready to operate, the track
alarms begin beeping steadily to alert everyone in the
area. When the tracks are in high speed, the alarm beeps
faster. The alarms continue to sound until the tracks are
turned off.
Stored Energy
Some machine systems retain stored energy after the
engine has shut down and the battery disconnect switch
has been locked out. Accidental release of this energy
can cause serious injury or death. The following sources
of stored energy are discussed in this section:
•
Compression roll housing in a raised position
(Figure 27)
•
Rotor/grinder while coasting to a stop
•
Anvil housing in a raised (open) position
•
Falling objects
•
Pressurized gases and fluids
•
Batteries and electrical
