death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
2.2. General Safety
The safety information in the safety section of this manual applies to all safety practices. Specific safety
information (such as Operation Safety), can be found in the appropriate section.
YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your conveyor. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to work around the conveyor understands all procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. All accidents can be avoided.
• It is the conveyor owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsibility to
read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow
them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the equipment.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with all personnel before
allowing them to operate the conveyor. Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death.
• The conveyor is not intended to be used by children.
• Use the conveyor for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the conveyor in any way without written permission from the manufacturer. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety, and could affect the life of the conveyor. Any
unauthorized modification of the conveyor will void the warranty.

2.3. Moving Conveyor Belt Safety
• DO NOT step on or touch moving conveyor belt.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
2.4. Rotating Parts Safety
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating pulleys,
belts, chains, and sprockets.
• Do not operate with any guard removed or modified. Keep
guards in good working order.
• Shut off and remove key or lock out power source before
inspecting or servicing machine.
2.5. Drives and Lockout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down the power
source and unplug or remove the key (as applicable) to prevent inadvertent start-up and
hazardous energy release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the
following power source(s). Ensure that all personnel are clear before turning on power to
equipment.

P1512021 R6 9
2.5.1 Electric Motor Safety
Power Source
• Electric motors and controls shall be installed and serviced by
a qualified electrician and must meet all local codes and
standards.
• A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor.
• You must have a manual reset button.
• Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the
operator has full view of the entire operation.
• Locate main power disconnect switch within reach from
ground level to permit ready access in case of an emergency.
• Motor must be properly grounded.
• Guards must be in place and secure.
• Ensure electrical wiring and cords remain in good condition;
replace if necessary.
• Use a totally enclosed electric motor if operating in
extremely dusty conditions.
SERVICE DISCONNECT
ON
OFF
Lockout
• The main power disconnect switch should be in the locked position during shutdown or
whenever maintenance is performed.
• If reset is required, disconnect all power before resetting motor.
2.5.2 PTO Driveline Safety
Drive
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO
driveline.
• Make certain the driveline shields telescope and rotate freely
on driveline before attaching.
• Make certain the driveline is securely attached at both ends.
• Do not operate conveyor unless all driveline, tractor, and
equipment shields are in place and in good working order.
• Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm.
• Keep universal joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed
maximum recommended length for PTO driveline.
• Engage tractor park brake and/or chock wheels.
Lockout
• Position all controls in neutral, shut off tractor’s engine, and remove key from tractor.
• If removing key is impossible, remove PTO driveline from tractor.

2.5.3 Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the power
source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while system is
under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious
injury if it penetrates the skin surface (serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immediately if
injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for
hydraulic leaks and wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good
condition. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or
crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
or hoses with tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs
will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve
system pressure before disconnecting or working on
hydraulic system.

2.6. Tire Safety
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a
wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may result in
serious injury or death.
• DO NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform
required tire maintenance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original
tire specifications. Never undersize the replacement tire.
• DO NOT weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the
rim. This action may cause an explosion which could result in
serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Tires should not be operated at speeds higher than their
rated speed.
• Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Never reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without removing the tire from the wheel.
Have the tire and wheel closely inspected for damage before
remounting.
