Safety
Always disconnect electrical power before attempting maintenance to any electrical or
moving parts. Do not tamper with electrical wiring.
Keep hands away from moving conveyors and assemblies.
Never operate this or any moving equipment without all covers and guards in place.
Do not increase the factory settings on either the mechanical or electrical overload
