3. Familiarization
IMPORTANT! Before starting work with the conveyor,
become familiar with the location and function of all
controls.
3.1 To the New Operator
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this
manual and to train all other operators before they start working
with the machine. Follow all safety instructions exactly.
By following recommended procedures, a safe working
environment is provided for the operator, bystanders, and the
area around the work site. Untrained operators are not qualified
to use the machine.
3.2 Training
Each operator must be trained in the proper set-up and operating
procedures prior to being allowed to operate the machine.
3.3 Job Site Familiarization
It is the responsibility of the operator to be thoroughly familiar
with the work site prior to starting. Doing so can prevent the
chance of problems or accidents.
3.4 Equipment Condition
1.
Check the general condition of the conveyor. Ensure that
all nuts and bolts are secure and that moveable parts are
secured and in their proper place.
2.
Always inspect the wire rope as it is pulled out of the
winch. Do not use the machine if the rope is cut, frayed,
worn or knotted. Any problem can result in early failure and
create an unsafe operating condition. Replace damaged
wire rope before resuming work.
3.5 Operator Orientation
IMPORTANT! The directions mentioned throughout this
manual for left-hand, right-hand, backward, and forward are
determined when facing the direction of forward travel.
