1 Product description
1 Intended use
The MAYER conveyor may be used for transporting pots filled
with soil from the last workstation of the potting machine.
Other means of use of the conveyor, besides the ones listed here,
are not permitted –and they are not the usage for intended
purpose.
If the MAYER conveyor is not used in accordance with the
regulations, safe operation of the conveyor is not guaranteed.
The usage for intended purpose involves reading of operating
instructions, and compliance with the regulations, especially
safety regulations stated in them. Furthermore, every inspection
and maintenance should be performed in specified time.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from
improper use. The operator of the MAYER Conveyor is solely
responsible for personal injuries or property damages.

3 Functional description
The conveyor is powered by an adjustable gear motor
(type G).
The motor drives the cardan shaft with a chain underneath
the conveyor.
This cardan shaft drives the drive rollers of the belt with an
angle gear and gear wheels. The clutch belt (type J) does
not have a motor, it needs to be clutched on Type G, it is
driven by that.
The clamping unit enables precise setting of belt tension
and belt running.
Special coupling devices at each end of the conveyor belt
allow several conveyor belts to be assembled into long
lines.
The cardan shaft has gear wheels at each end, with the
help of which the drive belt can drive the clutch belt.

2 General safety instructions
1 Due diligence of the operating company
Mayer conveyor belts –1417,1421,1425,1430,1435 –
are designed and built taking a danger analysis into
consideration and after careful selection of the
harmonised standards to be complied with as well as
other specifications. It therefore meets the state-of-
the art of technics and guarantees a maximum degree
of safety.
However, this safety can only be achieved in actual
operational practice only if all necessary measures
are taken. Planning these measures and checking
their implementation is subject to the operating
organisation's duty to take due care.
The operation organisation must guarantee in
particular that
•The conveyor is only used in accordance with its
intended use (cf. the Product description section).
•The conveyor is only operated when in flawless
working order and, especially, that the working
order of the safety equipment is regularly
checked.
•The Operating Instructions are always available in
legible condition and complete at the location
where the conveyor is used.
•Only sufficiently qualified and authorised
personnel operate, service and repair the
conveyor.
•These personnel are regularly instructed about all
relevant matters concerning industrial safety and
environmental protection and that they know the
Operating Instructions and especially the safety
instructions they contain.
•None of the safety and warning signs attached to
the conveyor are removed and that all remain
legible.
•None of the safety and warning signs attached to
the conveyor are removed and that all remain
legible.
•Users must obligate themselves only to operate
the conveyor when it is in flawless condition. No
unauthorised conversions or alterations are
allowed that influence the conveyor 's safety.
•Users must obligate themselves only to operate
the conveyor when it is in flawless condition. No
unauthorised conversions or alterations are
allowed that influence the conveyor 's safety.
•Protective devices may only be removed when
the conveyor has been stopped.

10
•The conveyor may not be started if any safety
devices have been removed.
•Local safety and accident-prevention
regulations always apply to any operation of the
conveyor.
•In the working area the operator is responsible
for other people.
•In case of non-compliance with any one of
the points cited above, the manufacturer
shall be released from all liability.
1. Explanation of safety symbols
The safety symbols along with the text of the safety
instructions are meant to point out unavoidable
residual dangers that exist when dealing with this
conveyor. These residual hazards relate to:
•People
•The conveyor
•Other things and objects
•The environment
The following safety symbols are used in these Operating
Instructions:
This symbol indicates there are dangers to the
conveyor, things and the environment, but that no
dangers to people are to be expected. If these
instructions are not followed, it might result in
malfunctions and damage to the conveyor. Property
damage and environmental damage might also
come about.
This symbol identifies instructions contributing to
better understanding of the conveyor information
that helps you to achieve optimum performance.
This symbol does not identify safety instructions.
This symbol warns about danger of electric shock.
Please note, that a safety symbol can never replace
the text of safety instructions —the text of safety
instructions must therefore always be read
completely.
