D. Operation of this equipment
Use caution when operating near other people and obstructions. Always look to
the rear before backing up and back up slowly.
Never operate Curbilder with safety torque arm out of adjustment or serious
injury may result.
Never feed auger with a tool that could get caught in a turning auger and strike
someone.
Know the two(2) ways a Curbilder Auger can be Stopped:
1) IN AN EMERGENCY:
Push IN any one (1) of the Emergency Stop Switch RED Buttons on the
Curbilder. On Models MC-550, MC-650 and MC-655 there are two (2)
Emergency Stop Switches located on BOTH ends of the Belt Guard (Part
#45010-17). On Models MC-850 and MC-900 there are two (2) additional
Emergency Stop Switches located at the left and right rear corners of the
machine frame. These Emergency Stop Switches have two (2)
MAINTAINED POSITIONS: Pulled OUT Position, Engine/Auger will
operate; Pushed IN Position, Engine/Auger will not run. Note: On all
machines manufactured prior to July 2007 there is one (1) Emergency
Stop Switch located on the Belt Guard and/or the engine. The operation
of this switch requires that the switch be pushed in and HELD IN to stop
Engine/Auger.
2) In Normal Machine On-Off Operation:
Use the Engine Speed Control (Throttle) to Decrease engine speed to the
slowest Idle Speed (750 RPM) to DISENGAGE the Centrifugal Clutch.
