of 15 percent and longitudinal slopes of 27 percent without any wheel of the
mixer losing contact with the ground and without the loss of fuels or
lubricants. The tiller shall not be used for tilling under the slope travel
requirements.
3.2 First article. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), a sample shall be
subjected to first article inspection (see 4.3 and 6.3). Any changes or
deviations of the mixers from the approved first article during production will
be subject to the approval of the contracting officer. Approval of the first
article will not relieve the contractor of his obligation to furnish
mixers conforming to this specification.

materials are those materials which have been collected from solid waste and
reprocessed tO become a source of raw materials, as distinguished from virgin
raw materials. The components, pieces and parts incorporated in the mixer may
be newly fabricated from recovered materials to the maximum extent practicable,
provided the mixer produced meets all other requirements of this specification.
Used, rebuilt or remanufactured components, pieces and parts shall not be
incorporated in the mixer.
3.4 Safety. All rotating or reciprocating parts, and all parts subject to
high operational temperature that are of such nature or are so located as to be,
or become, a hazard to operating or maintenance personnel shall be guarded or
insulated to the extent necessary to eliminate the hazard. All platforms,
