WARNING
13 : Explosion Hazards—Inner door latches (divided cylinder machines)—A
damaged or improperly seated latch can cause the inner door to open during operation, damaging
the cylinder and shell. A damaged cylinder can rip apart during extraction, puncturing the shell
and discharging metal fragments at high speed.
• Ensure that the inner door is securely latched when loading and unloading.
• Do not operate the machine with any evidence of damage or malfunction.
WARNING
14 : Explosion Hazards—Clutch and speed switch (multiple motor
machines)—A damaged clutch or speed switch can permit the low speed motor to engage during
extract. This will over-speed the motor and pulleys and can cause them to rip apart, discharging
metal fragments at high speed.
• Stop the machine immediately if any of these conditions occur: • abnormal whining sound
during extract • skidding sound as extract ends • clutches remain engaged or re-engage
during extract
