2.2. General Product Safety
YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your conveyor. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to work around the conveyor understands all procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. All accidents can be avoided.
• It is the conveyor owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsibility to
read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow
them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the equipment.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with all personnel before
allowing them to operate the conveyor. Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death.
• The conveyor is not intended to be used by children.
• Use the conveyor for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the conveyor in any way without written permission from the manufacturer. Unauthorized

2.5.2 Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the power
source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while system is
under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts and pinch
points.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious
injury if it penetrates the skin surface (serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immediately if
injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for
hydraulic leaks and wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good
condition. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or
crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
or hoses with tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs
will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve
system pressure before disconnecting or working on
hydraulic system.

tire specifications. Never undersize the replacement tire.
• DO NOT weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the
rim. This action may cause an explosion which could result in
serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Tires should not be operated at speeds higher than their
rated speed.
• Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Never reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without removing the tire from the wheel.
Have the tire and wheel closely inspected for damage before
remounting.
