Ensuring Safety: Best Practices While Operating Rut’s Skid Steer Drum Mulcher

At Rut Manufacturing, we prioritize safety above all else. Our skid steer drum mulcher, the Assassinator, is a powerful machine designed for heavy-duty commercial use. Despite its robust performance and durable design, it’s essential to follow best practices to ensure safe operation at all times. 

Here are some crucial safety guidelines to keep in mind:

 

1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Operating heavy machinery involves exposure to flying debris and noise. Therefore, wearing appropriate PPE is non-negotiable. 

This includes:

  • Safety glasses or face shields to protect your eyes from flying debris.
  • Hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs to safeguard against excessive noise.
  • Sturdy gloves to protect your hands while handling the equipment.
  • Steel-toe boots to protect your feet from any falling objects.

 

  • Maintain a Safe Distance from Bystanders

The Assassinator’s cutting width of 70 inches and high-speed operation can project debris over a considerable distance. Always ensure that bystanders maintain a safe distance from the operational area. This reduces the risk of injury from flying debris.

  • Regularly Inspect the Mulcher for Damage or Wear

Regular skid steer drum mulcher inspections can help identify signs of damage or wear early, preventing potential accidents. 

 

Key areas to check include:

  • The condition of the teeth and counter blades.
  • The hydraulic connections and hoses for leaks or damage.
  • General cleanliness to prevent the buildup of debris, which could lead to overheating.

 

  • Adhere to the Manufacturer’s Guidelines

Always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding the operation and maintenance of the mulcher. These guidelines are based on extensive testing designed to ensure optimal performance and safety.
