SAFETY INFORMATION
• Installation
GUARDS AND GUARDING
Interfacing of Equipment. When two or more pieces of equipment
are interfaced, special attention shall be given to the interfaced area
to ensure the presence of adequate guarding and safety devices.
Guarding Exceptions. Whenever conditions prevail that would
require guarding under these standards, but such guarding would
render the conveyor unusable, prominent warning means shall be
provided in the area or on the equipment in lieu of guarding.
Guarded by Location or Position. Where necessary for the
protection of employees from hazards, all exposed moving machinery
parts that present a hazard to employees at their work station shall
be mechanically or electrically guarded, or guarded by location or
position.
• Remoteness from frequent presence of public or employed
personnel shall constitute guarding by location.
• When a conveyor passes over a walkway, roadway, or work
station, it is considered guarded solely by location or position
if all moving parts are at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) above the oor or
walking surface or are otherwise located so that the employee
cannot inadvertently come in contact with hazardous moving
parts.
• Although overhead conveyors may be guarded by location, spill
guards, pan guards, or equivalent shall be provided if the product
may fall o󰀨 the conveyor for any reason and if personnel would
be endangered.
HEADROOM
• When conveyors are installed above exit passageways, aisles,
or corridors, there shall be provided a minimum clearance of 6
ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) measured vertically from the oor or walking
surface to the lowest part of the conveyor or guards.
• Where system function will be impaired by providing the
minimum clearance of 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) through an emergency
clearance, alternate passageways shall be provided.
• It is permissible to allow passage under conveyors with less
than 6 ft. 8 in. (2.032 m) clearance from the oor for other than
emergency exits if a suitable warning indicates low headroom.
• Operation
A) Only trained employees shall be permitted to operate conveyors.
Training shall include instruction in operation under normal conditions
and emergency situations.
B) Where employee safety is dependent upon stopping and/or
starting devices, they shall be kept free of obstructions to permit
ready access.
C) The area around loading and unloading points shall be kept clear
of obstructions which could endanger personnel.
D) No person shall ride the load-carrying element of a conveyor
under any circumstances unless that person is specically authorized
by the owner or employer to do so. Under those circumstances, such
employee shall only ride a conveyor which incorporates within its
supporting structure platforms or control stations specically designed
for carrying personnel. Under no circumstances shall any person ride
on any element of a vertical conveyor.
E) Personnel working on or near a conveyor shall be instructed as to
the location and operation of pertinent stopping devices.
F) A conveyor shall be used to transport only material it is capable
of handling safely.
G) Under no circumstances shall the safety characteristics of the
conveyor be altered if such alterations would endanger personnel.
H) Routine inspections and preventive and corrective maintenance
programs shall be conducted to ensure that all safety features and
devices are retained and function properly.
I) Personnel should be alerted to the potential hazard of entanglement
in conveyors caused by items such as long hair, loose clothing, and
jewelry.
J) Conveyors shall not be maintained or serviced while in operation
unless proper maintenance or service requires the conveyor to be in
motion. In this case, personnel shall be made aware of the hazards
and how the task may be safely accomplished.
K) Conveyor owners should ensure proper safety labels are a󰀩xed
to the conveyor, to warn of particular hazards involved in operation of
their conveyors.
• Maintenance
Refer to ANSI Z244.1-1982, American National Standard for Personnel Protection
– Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources – Minimum Safety Requirements and OSHA
Standard Number 29 CFR 1910.147 “The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/
Tagout).”
• All maintenance, including lubrication and adjustments, shall be
performed only by qualied and trained personnel.
• It is important that a maintenance program be established
to ensure that all conveyor components are maintained in a
condition which does not constitute a hazard to personnel.
• When a conveyor is stopped for maintenance purposes, starting
devices or powered accessories shall be locked or tagged out
in accordance with a formalized procedure designed to protect
all persons or groups involved with the conveyor against an
unexpected start.
• Replace all safety devices and guards before starting equipment
for normal operation.
• Whenever practical, DO NOT lubricate conveyors while they are
in motion. Only trained personnel who are aware of the hazard
of the conveyor in motion shall be allowed to lubricate.
Safety Guards
Maintain all guards and safety devices IN POSITION and IN SAFE
REPAIR.
Safety Labels
In an e󰀨ort to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel working
around HYTROL conveying equipment, safety labels are placed at
various points on the equipment to alert them of potential hazards.
Please check equipment and note all safety labels. Make certain
your personnel are alerted to and obey these warnings. See Safety
Manual for examples of warning labels.
CAUTION! Because of the many moving parts on the conveyor, all
personnel in the area of the conveyor need to be warned that the conveyor
is about to be started.
REMEMBER Do not remove, reuse or modify material handling equipment
for any purpose other than it’s original intended use.

• Ceiling Hanger Installation
If conveyors are to be used in an overhead application, ceiling hangers may
have been supplied in place of floor supports.
Figure 4A shows how a ceiling hanger mounts to a conveyor section. Ceiling
hangers should be mounted at section joints.
• Belt Installation
The conveyor belt has been cut to the proper length and lacing installed at the
factory. To install follow these steps:
1. Thread belt through conveyor as shown (Figure 5D).
2. Pull ends together and insert lacing pin (Figure 5C).
3. Adjust belt tension with take-up pulley or tail pulley. Keep pulley square by
moving both take-up bolts an equal amount. Maintain enough tension so drive
pulley will not slip when carrying the rated load.
4. Track belt per instructions on Page 6.
• Conveyor Set-Up
1. Mark a chalk line on floor to locate center of the conveyor (Floor Mounted
Conveyors).
2. Place section in position.
3. Check to see that conveyor is level across width and length of unit. Adjust
supports and ceiling hangers as necessary.
4. Install electrical controls and wire motor.
5. Install and track belt per instructions on Belt Installation and
Belt Tracking.
• Electrical Equipment
CONTROLS
Electrical Code: All motor controls and wiring shall conform to the National
Electrical Code (Article 670 or other applicable articles) as published by
the National Fire Protection Association and as approved by the American
Standards Institute, Inc.
CONTROL STATIONS
A) Control stations should be so arranged and located that the operation of
the equipment is visible from them, and shall be clearly marked or labeled to
indicate the function controlled.
B) A conveyor which would cause injury when started shall not be started
until employees in the area are alerted by a signal or by a designated person
that the conveyor is about to start.
When a conveyor would cause injury when started and is automatically
controlled or must be controlled from a remote location, an audible device
shall be provided which can be clearly heard at all points along the conveyor
wherepersonnel may be present. The warning device shall be actuated by the
controller device starting the conveyor and shall continue for a required period
of time before the conveyor starts. A flashing light or similar visual warning
may be used in conjunction with or in place of the audible device if more
effective in particular circumstances.
Where system function would be seriously hindered or adversely
affected by the required time delay or where the intent of the warning may
be misinterpreted (i.e., a work area with many different conveyors and allied
devices), clear, concise, and legible warning shall be provided. The warning
shall indicate that conveyors and allied equipment may be started at any time,
that danger exists, and that personnel must keep clear. The warnings shall be
provided along the conveyor at areas not guarded by position or location.
C) Remotely and automatically controlled conveyors, and conveyors where
operator stations are not manned or are beyond voice and visual contact from
drive areas, loading areas, transfer points, and other potentially hazardous
locations on the conveyor path not guarded by location, position, or guards,
shall be furnished with emergency stop buttons, pull cords, limit switches, or
similar emergency stop devices.
All such emergency stop devices shall be easily identifiable in the
immediate vicinity of such locations unless guarded by location, position, or
guards. Where the design, function, and operation of such conveyor clearly is
not hazardous to personnel, an emergency stop device is not required.
The emergency stop device shall act directly on the control of the
conveyor concerned and shall not depend on the stopping of any other
equipment. The emergency stop devices shall be installed so that they cannot
be overridden from other locations.
D) Inactive and unused actuators, controllers, and wiring should be removed
from control stations and panel boards, together with obsolete diagrams,
indicators, control labels, and other material which serve to confuse the
operator.
SAFETY DEVICES
A) All safety devices, including wiring of electrical safety devices, shall be
arranged to operate in a “Fail-Safe” manner, that is, if power failure or failure
of the device itself would occur, a hazardous condition must not result.
B) Emergency Stops and Restarts. Conveyor controls shall be so arranged
that, in case of emergency stop, manual reset or start at the location where
the emergency stop was initiated, shall be required of the conveyor(s) and
associated equipment to resume operation.
C) Before restarting a conveyor which has been stopped because of an
emergency, an inspection of the conveyor shall be made and the cause of
the stoppage determined. The starting device shall be locked out before
any attempt is made to remove the cause of stoppage, unless operation is
necessary to determine the cause or to safely remove the stoppage.
Refer to ANSI Z244.1-1982, American National Standard for Personnel
Protection – Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources – Minimum Safety
Requirements and OSHA Standard Number 29 CFR 1910.147 “The Control
of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout).”
NOTE: When installing ceiling hanger rods in an existing building, all
methods of attachment must comply with local building codes.
NOTE: If belt ends cannot be pulled together by hand, it may be
necessary to loosen take-ups (at tail pulley, etc.), minimum position
or use a belt puller so lacing pin can be easily inserted.
CAUTION! Excessive slippage will reduce belt life and damage drive
pulley lagging. Never apply more tension than is needed.
Over-tension will cause extra wear to belt and bearings and will require
extra power from drive.
INSTALLATION
• Support Installation
1. Determine primary direction of product flow. Figure 5A indicates the preferred flow as related to the drive.
2. Refer to “Match-Mark” numbers on ends of conveyor sections. Position them in sequence near the area of installation.
3. Attach supports to both ends of drive section and to one end of intermediate or tail sections (Figure 4B). Hand tighten bolts only at this time. Conveyors
angle of incline will determine where the knee brace mounting brackets are to be placed when required.
4. Adjust elevation to required height.
