1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are suggested to help prevent accidents.
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing
certain precautions. Read and take the following precautions before operating this
machine to help prevent accidents. Equipment should be operated only by those
who are responsible and instructed to do so.
1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read this manual carefully before using the machine. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to accidents.
2. Do not allow anyone to ride on the machine when being towed.
3. Make sure all safety and instruction decals are in place, and legible. (See
section 1.2).
OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Always tow the machine at speeds compatible with safety, especially when
operating over rough ground, crossing ditches or turning.
2. Use care when operating on steep grades to maintain proper stability.
3. Be careful when towing through door openings or under overhead objects.
Always make sure there is sufficient clearance.
4. When travelling on public roads, know the local rules and regulations and
make sure your machine is equipped with the proper safety equipment.
5. Watch out for overhead and underground high-voltage electrical lines when
operating the machine.
6. Always park the machine on firm level ground. If necessary, prepare a level
area to operate the machine from.
7. Be watchful of bystanders when starting or during operation.
8. Wear protective clothing such as safety eye wear, hearing protection, steel toe
foot wear, gloves and hard hats.
9. Never attempt to load the machine in excess of capacity.
10. Assure all hydraulic controls are functioning properly, as well as safety devices
are installed and functioning at all times.
11. Never run the engine in a closed building without adequate ventilation, as the
fumes can cause death.
12. Never go under the machine while it is operating.
13. If product is lodged in wire cloth, remove the affected screens from the
machine.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE
1. Stop the engine before performing any service on the machine.
2. Never refuel the machine while smoking or with the engine hot or running.
3. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety and warning decals. See
section 1.2.
4. Do not modify or alter, or permit anyone to modify or alter this machine or any
of its components or machine functions.
5. Do not bypass the safety systems. Consult your Thomas Equipment Dealer if
your safety system is malfunctioning.
6. Do not make mechanical adjustments while the machine is in motion or when
the engine is running.
7. Do not attempt to repair or tighten hydraulic lines when the system is under
pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury or death.
8. Whenever replacing pivot pins, always use a brass drift and hammer. Failure to
do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments.
9. The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the radiator
cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Allow the
engine to cool before removing the radiator cap.
10. Wear protective clothing such as safety eye wear, hearing protection, steel toe
foot wear, gloves and hard hats.
11. The engine RPM (speed), is preset from the factory. Changing the preset speed
may cause severe damage to the shaker components, and will void your
warranty.
12. Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Never
short the battery terminals to check charge. Use a voltage meter or hydrometer.
13. Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. Fill batteries in a well
ventilated area. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves. Avoid breathing fumes
when charging or electrolyte is added.
14. For securing and towing instructions, refer to sections 3.6.
15. Dispose of waste responsibly. Improper disposal of waste can harm the
environment and ecology. Contact your local environmental agency for proper
waste disposal procedures.
Read this manual completely before
attempting to operate this machine.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate this machine if any
protective guards are missing, or
have been removed.
