11. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in injury and/or death.
• Barricade the container area in order to protect
workmen and the public from any material that may
ricochet out of the container. Build the barricade
using plywood sheets, screens or similar materials.
In the event that debris is accidentally thrown into
the chute when the discharge end of the chute is not
directed into the container, or the container has been
removed, the barricaded area may help to prevent
injury.
• Do not introduce concrete blocks, spikes, flammables, or toxic dusts. Do not drop more than
50 lb. (23 kg) of debris at a time into chute. Do not use motorized loaders to introduce
debris into the chute (motorized loaders introduce too much debris, too quickly).
• Never stand under, or look up the discharge end of a chute.
• Never look into, or place body parts into the opening of a Door section.
• All Superchute
® openings (i.e. Top Hopper and Door sections) feature a warning gate.
When the warning gate is fastened across the opening, debris must not be thrown into the
chute.
• Superchute
® Top Hopper and Door warning gates must be closed by a designated safety
monitor before the container is moved.
• To prevent electrocution, stay away from the chute system during a lightning storm.
• Although all Superchute
® Door sections feature a deflection curtain, there is still a risk of
debris particles escaping and causing injury. Therefore, protective eyewear must be worn
while introducing debris into Door sections.
• In the event that hurricanes, tornadoes, or strong storms are expected, dismantle the chute
system and warehouse it until the storm passes.
