General Safety Precautions (ALWAYS follow these!):
STOP THE CRUSHER: Completely shut down the crusher and any associated equipment (feeders, conveyors).
DISCONNECT POWER: Ensure all power sources are disconnected and locked out/tagged out to prevent accidental startup. This is non-negotiable.
SECURE THE ROTOR: If replacing blow bars, the rotor must be secured to prevent it from rotating unexpectedly.
CLEAR THE CRUSHING CHAMBER: Remove any remaining material from the crushing chamber.
USE APPROPRIATE PPE: Wear hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves, and any other required personal protective equipment.
USE PROPER LIFTING GEAR: Wear parts can be very heavy. Always use appropriate lifting equipment (hoists, slings, etc.) and ensure they are rated for the weight.
WORK WITH A TEAM: Never attempt wear part replacement alone. A minimum of two people is usually recommended for safety and efficiency.
REFER TO THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL: Always consult your specific crusher’s operator’s and maintenance manual for detailed instructions, diagrams, and torque specifications.
