Protective Masks…
Removing
Canister
from
Packing Can
RTCH…
Look OnCe…
Look TwiCe
c2a1 canisters won’t do
your protective masks much
good if you can’t pull them
out of their packing cans.
here’s how
to safely
remove a
canister…
if you can’t remove the
canister from the can,
the inner lip may have
flashing material that’s
holding it in place.
don’t use a sharp
object to cut away the
flashing. That could
puncture the canister.
use a coin or any
other item with a dull
surface to scrape the
flashing upward.
now you should
be able to remove
the canister from
the packing can.
you operators
need to eyeball
the boom stub
pins on your rough
terrain container
handler on a
weekly basis.
they’re known
to crack where
the stub pins are
welded into the
boom’s doubler-
plate.
the stub pins
are where the
main hydraulic
cylinders connect
to the boom.
enough of a crack
causes the pins
and cylinders
to break free—
causing the
container handler
to drop its load,
an iso container.
not good!
Look for cracks or rewelding
around the boom’s stub pins
stop,
you’re
going to
damage me!
