4-2-1-3 Floor Mount (Central Blender)
In a floor mounting application, ensure adequate clearance for
all blender operations and maintenance. The operator and
maintenance personnel must have access to parts of the
blender. If necessary, it is the customer’s responsibility to
provide adequate, safe work platforms around the blender to
meet state and local safety codes. Using proper lifting
equipment, lift the OS/OA in place.
Important!
The blender must be securely fastened to the floor before
operating.
AEC/HydReclaim assumes no responsibility for any
damages resulting from improper installation or improper
handling during installation.
Make sure that the blender is securely mounted to the floor
before installing loading equipment, loading with material and
starting.
Make sure that the blender location is adequately away from
high traffic aisles, and that fork trucks, etc. cannot damage the
blender. Ensure that normal day-to-day operations will not place
the blending system at risk of damage.
