2.6 PREPARATION
1. Never operate the Scale Conveyor and auxiliary
equipment until you have read and complete-
ly understand this manual, the auxiliary equip-
ment Operator's Manual, and each of the Safety
Messages found on the safety signs on the con-
veyor and auxiliary equipment.
2. Personal protec-
tion equipment in-
cluding hard hat,
safety glasses,
safety shoes, and
gloves are recom-
mended during
assembly, instal-
lation, operation,
adjustment, main-
taining, repairing, removal, or moving the imple-
ment. Do not allow long hair, loose tting clothing
or jewelry to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Motors or equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that you
wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the
noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause
severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to
the Operator over a long-term basis may cause
permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing
loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, ra-
dios, and other such sources close to the ear) is
cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery.
4. Clear working area of debris, trash or hidden ob-
stacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
injury, damage or tripping.
5. Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly anchored, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs
are properly installed and in good condition.

any loose bolts, worn parts, cracks, leaks, frayed
belts and make necessary repairs. Always follow
maintenance instructions.
2.7 INSTALLATION SAFETY
1. Disconnect and remove all mechanical locks, an-
chor chains and any other transport devices that
would hinder or prohibit the normal functioning of
the Scale Conveyor upon start up. Serious dam-
age to the machine and/or personal injury to the
operator and bystanders may result from attempt-
ing to operate the machine while mechanical lock-
ing devices are still attached.
2. Position the machine on rm, level ground before
operating.
3. Extend leg ratchets to level the frame before load-
ing. Use a level to be sure.

- Keep service area clean
and dry.
- Be sure electrical out-
lets and tools are properly
grounded.
- Use adequate light for the
job at hand.
5. Wear heavy gloves and eye protection when
searching for suspected hydraulic leaks. Use a
piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead
of hand to isolate and identify a leak. A high pres-
sure concentrated stream of hydraulic uid can
pierce the skin. If such happens, seek immediate
medical attention as infection and toxic reaction
could develop.
6. Make sure all guards and doors are in place
and properly secured when operating the Scale
