Re: What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

Did nothing Laverda related (except send more money to Red) but I fixed one of the off-peak heaters in my rental property. The fans were getting quite noisy so I took them out, disassembled them, cleaned and greased the bearings and put them back in. Fans now nice and quiet.

Only problem was that while I was doing the job and chatting politely with the female tenant, her husband came home from work. He got out of his car and noticed the door on the meter box was open and a fuse was removed. So what did he do? The dickhead put the bloody fuse back in just as I was re-connecting one of the fans. I got zapped, lurched backwards, flung my screwdriver across the room and yelled "FUCK ME DEAD!" The lady of the house must have thought I was having some kind of Tourette's episode. She looked quite appalled. I finished the job and left quietly without punching the husband in the face.
 
So you fail the OH&S procedures Cam.

That's why we have a Tag out system!

In this case I agree with Blab "Keep the fuse wedge in your pocket".

Buy a lotto ticket as it was obviously your lucky day today.
Cheers

Absolutely need to make it idiot proof,helpful idiots will kill you.So this idiot thought some magic Fairy had pulled the fuse.Happens on big plant and equipment before the tag system came about.
 
what's the voltage and current coming from the fuse box? 230-240 Volts? 16Amps? if so it should only tickle you a bit  :-* Removable fuses from a domestic fuse box ??? Haven't seen them in years, even East Germany moved up to reset breakers a while ago. Insulated and approved electrical screwdrivers and pliers are not available?
 
It's an old house. I probably should upgrade it with circuit breakers including RCD's.



Anyway, back to Laverdas ...

I received one of these in the mail today. Just to keep you guessing I won't tell you what it is (some of you will probably know) but I'll be putting it to use tomorrow on my RGS track bike project.

Smart-arse  :D

Not sure what Davo had in mind. But I'd be very wary of a doctor coming anywhere near me with one of those in his hand.
 
On a track bike? I'd guess one of those thingies what cuts the ignition when changing gears.
