PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
DO NOT OPERATE UNLESS:
You learn and practice the principles of
safe machine operation contained in this
operator's manual.
1. Avoid hazardous situations.
2. Always perform a pre-operation
inspection. Know and understand the
pre-operation inspection before going
on to the next section.
3. Always perform function tests prior
to use.
4. Inspect the workplace.
5. Only use the machine as it was
intended.
FUNDAMENTALS:
It is the responsibility of the operator to
perform a pre-operation inspection and
routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual
inspection performed by the operator prior
to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover
if anything is apparently wrong with a
machine before the operator performs the
function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves
to determine if routine maintenance
procedures are required. Only routine
maintenance items specied in this manual
may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and
check each of the items and locations for
modications, damage or loose or missing
parts.
A damaged or modied machine must never
be used. If damage or any variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered,
the machine must be tagged and removed
from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made
by a qualied service technician, according
to the manufacturer’s specications. After
repairs are completed, the operator must
perform a pre-operation inspection again
before going on to the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections
shall be performed by qualied service
technicians,accordingtothemanufacturer’s
specications.

into service.
The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.
A malfunctioning machine must never be
used. If malfunctions are discovered, the
machine must be tagged and removed from
service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made
by a qualied service technician, according
to the manufacturer’s specications.

operator's manual.
1. Avoid hazardous situations.
2. Always perform function tests prior to
operation.
3. Always perform function tests prior

FUNDAMENTALS:
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine
operation. It is the operator’s responsibility
to follow all the safety rules and instructions
in the operator’s, safety and responsibilities
manuals.
This conveyor was designed to transport
solid (non-liquid/ non-dangerous) material
such as stone, sand, rubble and soil. The
material must be loaded responsibly and
with skill by the operator as to not cause
damage by overloading the conveyor.
Only trained and authorized personnel
should be permitted to operate a machine.
If more than one operator is expected
to use a machine at di󰀨erent times in the
same work shift, they must all be qualied
operators and are all expected to follow
all safety rules and instructions in the
operator’s safety and responsibilities
manuals. That means every new operator
should perform a pre-operation inspection,
function tests, and a workplace inspection
before using the machine.
