Section 2 –Safety consideration and precautions
2.1 Stationary or Operating Conveyors
Before installing and operating BRAND NAME, it is important to review and understand the
following safety information. Setup, maintenance and operational activities for the BRAND
NAME device can be performed on operating or stationary conveyors. Please reference the
appropriate cleaner manual before performing any work on the cleaner.
Five tasks that can be performed while the conveyor is running [or stationary]:
oInstallation
oDe-installation
oPowering device on/off
oEstablish Bluetooth® wireless communication connection for service documentation
oDiagnostic status check
Battery replacement can NOT be performed on an operating conveyor. De-install the entire
device from the cleaner pole before replacing the battery.
DANGER
Every belt conveyor is an in-running nip hazard. Conveyor hazards cause instantaneous
amputation and entrapment.
WARNING
Conveyors contain moving hazards. Stay as far from the conveyor as practical and use Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE):
oSafety eyewear
oHardhats
oSafety footwear
Handle screws and tools with care as these items may become projectiles if coming into contact
with moving conveyor components.
2.2 Equipment Shipping
Shipping of devices and spare batteries must be performed by an authorized shipper. Flexco and
its manufacturing partners are authorized to ship devices and batteries.
To become an authorized shipper, please reference your region’s compliance requirements to
pursue appropriate training. This training resource provides additional information:
https://dgtraining.com/program-catalog/lithium-batteries-training/
It is advised to have devices and spare batteries shipped to a location where they may be
ground transported as needed to their final destination to avoid transit overhead.
2.3 Battery Storage and Handling

Battery packs may be replaced by the customer
This product contains a 3.6V, non-rechargeable, lithium metal thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl2) cell
battery. The battery cells are hermetically sealed units which are not hazardous when used as
recommended in this operating manual.
Recommended storage is in a room temperature (+25⁰C, +/-5⁰C), dry (relative humidity below
80%) and ventilated area that is subject to little temperature change for optimal life. Do not
place the battery near heating equipment. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or store
in high humidity environments for long periods. Do not store batteries where any liquids may
spill onto the batteries or packaging.
Keep replacement batteries in original packaging until ready to use.
Do not puncture, crush or immerse the battery in any liquids.
Batteries should be activated in a device within two years after receiving when properly stored.
If devices are stored for an extended period of time (over 3 months) with batteries installed,
then disconnect the battery plug from the jack to prevent a potential short circuit.
Storing batteries for longer than two years in ideal storage conditions may result in loss of
operable life once installed.
Additional safety information can be found here (reference battery cell TL-5930 by Tadiran):

WARNING
Do not replace battery when an explosive atmosphere is present.
Do not leave an expended/discharged battery in a device for more than one year.
Never attempt to disassemble, machine or otherwise alter the battery as personal injury or
environmental harm may result.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery as this causes a risk of fire or explosion.
2.4 Battery Recycling
Do not crush or incinerate batteries as this may cause cells to rupture and increase the risk of
fire.
Battery recycling and disposal guidelines constantly evolve and regulations change from country
to country. Battery recycling should be done in authorized facilities through licensed waste
management organizations. Please consult with your country’s environmental or recycling
services governing body for more information and recycling locations.
Any used batteries may be returned to a Flexco facility.
