OPERATION
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not limited to) - the Deflectors,
Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door
Shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be
inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn
items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects,
entanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)
• Inspect the gearbox oil level. A low oil level is a
warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or
its seal is damaged and needs replacement.
• Ensure the gearbox vent is in place and free
from clogs. OPS-R-0040
Inspect the Blades daily for abnormal wear. REPLACE BOTH BLADES on that carrier
IMMEDIATELY if either blade has:
• Become bent or deformed from it’s original shape or
• Any cracks are visible, or
• Deep gouges in the blade’s surface are persent, or
• Gouges or chipped areas in the cutting edge are larger than 1/2”(12.7mm), or
• The material on the leading edge has been worn away by more than 1/2(12.7mm)”
Failure to replace abnormally worn blades may lead to catastrophic failure of the blades and ejection of the broken
part with tremendous force which may cause serious bodily injury or death. OPS-U-0032
