MP SERIES CONE CRUSHER TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
0-17
Crushers, designed to operate within a specific
RPM range for maximum efficiency, are typically
checked with a tachometer. Make sure that any
access openings have a protective cover in place at
all times except when RPM readings are being
taken. Never change sheave combinations without
first consulting your Metso Minerals representative.
Do not use sheaves with damaged rims or spokes.
Ejection of Objects from the Crushing Plant
Ejected objects from the Crushing Plant may cause
bodily injury. For example, rock can be thrown
several meters (several yards) into the air out of the
crushing cavity during operation. Ejected materials
may include rock, tramp metal, metal rods and
work implements. Do not stand in front of the feed
opening or look into the crushing cavity while the
crusher is operating. Never attempt to clear jam on
feeder, crushing cavity or conveyors when the
system is energized.
Falling Material from Conveyors, Loading,
Unloading and Feeding Operations
Rocks or other objects may fall from conveyors
during loading, unloading and feeding operations.
Impact of falling material may cause serious bodily
injury. To assure safe operation, all personnel must
be alert when operating or working at or around the
machine. Wear proper protective clothing
(including an approved safety helmet) and
protective devices. Keep all non-operating and
non-trained personnel clear of the Crushing Plant at
all times.
Never walk under any equipment included in
loading, feeding, crushing, conveying, discharging
or stockpiling material.
0.2.3.2 Typical Injury Types
Crushing
In general, avoid areas where you may be exposed
to expected or unexpected machine movements.
Crushing injuries typically occur either between
two rotating or moving parts, or between a moving
component and a stationary object.
Keep all body parts, clothing and tools away from
areas where they may get trapped, pinched, or
crushed, or otherwise come into contact with
moving parts on the Crushing Plant. When moving
equipment, be sure the path is clear. Horns and
lights, where provided, are for your safety to alert
you of moving objects. Pay attention to all such
devices.
Slipping, Tripping, and Bumping
Items such as hoses, tools, etc., on walkways and
Crushing Plant floors impede movement and create
a tripping and slipping hazard. Good housekeeping
reduces the risks considerably.
Personnel should wear safety shoes that reduce the
risk of slipping and provide protection against
falling objects or crushing. Hydraulic oil leaked or
spilled on the floor must be cleaned up
immediately.
WARNING
OUTRIGGER CONTACT MAY CAUSE
